Why are people afraid to trade? This is something that is very difficult for the public to understand, the people themselves don't want to think about complicated things according to some of them, especially since the things they see are very gray to them, looking deeper into the matter of trading has many risks that will be discovered if we not being able to study this matter well, we must be able to understand and study everything that will happen, maybe it will happen, and it will definitely happen.
I do trade when I see some green flag on the market and what I will tell you is that many traders are afraid of trading because the first time expectations didn't go as the result they had and they gave up immediately. What many of them think is that they can just harvest money with their capital and continue like that but the moments they bites the dust most particularly people that has the habit of not using stop loss, they cease to trade again and the memory lives on.
Trading is an activity that is difficult for most people to do and understand, not a few are successful in this trading, all of them learn the risks and profits quite well, that's why some of us don't want to know and it ends in failure which results in loss. money which we call capital in trading.
The point is that in doing something that has risks, if we succeed in doing it well then the profits we will get are not small, everything goes according to the process that we do well so the results will be good.
Most often the emotional handling of trading is the most hard part of most traders, they don't want to just see the lost and I don't understand why you want profit when you don't want to lose, it's normal to lose while trading but it's bad when it consistent, it shows that you don't know how to trade. It's better to understand trading well before even starting to avoid any discouragement later.
