wonder how people expect good results in something they have a very vague understanding of
trading =/= gambling , it is way more skill based , gambling is more luck based as you could run the optimal strategy and lose because the stars didn't align ( or because of the casino's house edge
)
in trading one has to read ALOT first , it requires a certain mindset too , you must understand that you cannot be profiting all the time and losses are inevitable
I heard stories about Forex traders who made millions on their demo accounts
once they deposit and trade with the real money - its a completely different story , 99% of them lose their money
it is psychology , mindset , discipline and technical analysis and even then you could end up in the red because some markets decided to crash and you were holding
or you shorted and there was a global super bull run , things happen
