I also totally agree with this. People think trading can be an easy way to make money but this is not the case for most traders. Any trader that has been trading for like a year or two but still losing, such person should better stop trading.
I always post that trading is not gambling but it is very risky like gambling.
You have said something important, many people think that trading is easy and that it is possible to become rich within a few days. But the real truth is that trading is not an easy thing at all, it requires a lot of skill and risk. If someone trades for a short time and takes risks without analyzing it well, then it is not right for him to trade. Making money from trading may seem easy to you, but it is very risky. So I say if you cannot afford to take risks, then trading is not for you.
You are right some people feel that trading is so easy and that you can become wealthy if you start trading which is not correct, trading is difficult and very risky if you are not careful as a trader you will lose a lot of money and you will even be in debt, I always advise that if you want to trade use only your Discretionary income to trade so that it won't affect you financially when you lose, I have a friend that went into trading just because he saw an advert on Facebook that you can become very rich through trading he decided to start and when he did he started losing a lot of money and he stop trading.
Before you start trading you need to learn it very well keep an open mind when learning it don't allow money to be your focus at first try to know how it works when you do then you can be making money but if you carry the intention of making money first then it will cost you a problem of financial loss trading is not easy so you need to be very patient and consistent when trading, and lastly just as you said HistoLock if you cannot take risk then don't go into trading.
Do you know that some persons can just view a trader and all his assets and just wanted to go into trading as well, so funny, been well established is even better than been broke before embarking into trading and also not putting all you have got in it if not you will be shattered and frustrated
