I've noticed that on my WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, and basically all social media websites, there are so many beginner traders with no real live trading experience who should stop giving trading tips to other people rather they just put it out there for whoever cares to listen to them.
I keep asking myself, are these kids doing it wrong? The beginning phase of the trading journey is a time for learning and not talking or trying to show off. These new kids should be quiet and focused on building equity, and other best trading practices that would make them successful traders rather than trying to act cool and successful when they haven't ever made a dollar other than in a demo.
Has anyone else here noticed this too?"
Not to wonder and anyone can do the same even without experience as they just share based on what they have learned when watching videos and online tutorials.
To question if that is wrong? Definitely, because those tips are unrealistic and never help us to succeed but instead, they lead us in the wrong direction. This time, we have a lot of people claiming themselves to an experts, and too sad to see that many innocent people also have fallen into them. Therefore, I would say that the quality of traders now is not quite good.
just because there is little success in trading, and they share screenshots on social media does not make such traders trustworthy in the analysis or signals provided.
those who share signals also don't know for sure what they are sharing. There is no truth as to whether the signal will be according to plan or not.
If you want to follow trading signals, it is better to find out first what the trading record of the person giving the signal is. I'm not saying all trading signal providers are bad. but some provide analyses that may coincidentally be appropriate.
These are all techniques that can be learned. So we have to master it first so that we don't just seriously follow the signals given. Let's just say the signal is a reference that we can study again.
