Maybe you believed you could turn $100 into $100,000 in a month, easy. Or my personal favorite: thinking you could just copy some influencer's trades without any of the risk.
So, let's air it out. What was the most idiotic, unhinged, completely delusional thing you truly believed about trading when you were a rookie?
When I started trading, I had this belief that if I follow the trades of some of the the popular traders on social media that I won't lose because they aren't losing and that's what's making them to be as rich as they present their wealth on social media. I didn't know that most of the online tradesrs aren't doing what they're claiming to be doing but having a business of being influencer on social media for the exchange or cryptocurrency projects. You can't follow random people and be expecting to be successful as a trader. Trading is interesting when you're practically involve in all the decisions you're taking from analysis of the market to executing your trades.
