Why do you always lose in trading?

What steps does a newbie who can't drive need to take to drive on the highway alone?

1. You first need to go to a driving school, pay to learn traffic rules, and find an instructor to learn how to drive, obtaining a driver's license. Only then do you qualify to drive on the road.

2. Just because you have a driver's license, does that mean you can drive? Not at all. When I got my license, I still couldn't drive because the school only taught me specific points for turning the steering wheel. In this exam-oriented education system, even with a license, I still couldn't drive; if I wanted to drive alone, I had to find someone to practice with, and only after practicing for dozens of hours could I drive by myself.

3. Even if I can drive alone now, I still can't go on the highway; I have to wait a year.

A newbie needs 4 steps to go from being able to drive alone to driving on the highway:

Go to driving school, take the driving test, and obtain a driver's license → Practice driving → Drive alone → Accumulate experience for 1 year → Go on the highway.

So what about trading? Compared to driving, shouldn't trading as a professional skill require deeper and longer learning? Trading is also a professional skill, and it's very specialized. Not to mention trading, even bricklaying is professional; in Australia, you need to go to school and get a professional certificate to lay bricks.

Since trading is also a professional skill, first, because there are no dedicated schools for trading, you need to find a mentor to guide you on what books to read and what core trading knowledge to learn, so you can avoid taking detours;

Second, you need to practice on your own for a while before trying to play and accumulate experience, reflecting and understanding on your own;

Finally, only after at least a year of practice can you start using leverage.

Why do many people lose money in trading?

They skip steps 1 and 2 and go directly to step 3, which is like driving on the highway without a license. How could they not have an accident?

Skipping steps 1 and 2 and going straight to leverage, how could they not face liquidation or lose everything?

If you can treat trading as a professional skill to learn, following the mindset of getting a driver's license to drive, you might not make a fortune, but you at least won't lose everything, right?

Think carefully.
