Trading has always been something that people viewed as difficult, at least that's what I thought when I started, but I like the fact that I see a lot more people doing both now.
I don't have a specific number but in the little things you can have an idea of how much more people are into trading now. I remember seeing the post about the amount of teams that registered for the KCGI trading
event, and all I could think of is how impressive it is that over 1500 teams each team consisting of different traders have signed up for something like that.
I might be making it more than it is, because I'm a big fan of trading in general, but I'm really glad trading is becoming more and more accessible.
I think trading is growing massively because of the delusions influencers sell to the people. They make trading seem so easy by showing only big profits and expensive cars etc. and tell they are away from these by just a trade. This is why most traders fail because they dont even have a plan they just buy and hope it goes up. They think trading is buy low sell high but in reality it is much more than that. Its about risk management, perfect entries, a good stop loss an exit plan good psychology and many many more. The influencers just sell their course and dont care if their viewer lose or in small cases win.
