These traders that are still doing it despite that they've lost a lot already is either in their early days and are testing themselves. But if a trader is going backwards and just losing more money. It's best for these type of traders to quit and stay with investing. It's true that the question simply asking about if we can afford to lose that money and take that risk and let ourselves be in those trades. It's not about how many traders we do but how profitable we are. Although in reality, the majority is in losses and are not profitable.
It is impossible to become a profitable trader in 2-3 months. This takes years, and during this time, the trader will still lose part of his deposit. But it all depends on how much of it he loses and over what period of time. So those who have set themselves the goal of becoming a profitable trader should understand that it is impossible to become one without losing some of their money.
I agree, it takes a lot of time to at least become a profitable one. The influencers make it easy and viewers of them think that it's an easy job to do. But it doesn't only take courage, hardwork and intelligence to become one. It will also hurt the pockets deeply if they want to be one of those called as real traders. That is why if they cannot stand with those conditions, losses and heartbreaks with their potential failure in trading in the beginning. They can change as soon as possible and simply become one of the holders in the community.
