One thing that I notice is that people think that trading is easy and they jump into trading because the need quick profit with little or no knowledge on trading. They get disappointed because they were in the market to gamble. I see someone that does not understand trading and goes into trading as a gambler, and this will make him run at loss because gambling depends on luck. Trading is very complex and needs enough time to understand the strategy that you can use to make profit from the market. To stay healthy, only trade with the amount of money that you can afford to lose, and don't trade when you cannot control your emotion.
You are right, trading without knowledge is like gambling and people with the mindset of making easy money from trading are mostly newbies , they have never known anything about what trading is, even trading stock or foreign exchange. But many people advise newbies to stay away from trading, is that correct? In my opinion , I will not discourage them from participating in trading but I will advise them to use the minimum amount for experience to get a real feel . Because most newbies will be very stubborn , they will never listen to someone's advice . So let them experience it for themselves, they will know what they need to do in this market .
