Trading and the Reality of Trading
Trading: Daily Income or Long-Term Investment? The Truth the Market Hides
The Big Illusion: Trading as an ATM
In financial markets, there is a misleading idea that trading can be a stable source of daily income, similar to a job or an ATM that generates quick and continuous profits. This illusion is one of the most dangerous and destructive ideas for beginner traders.
The truth the market doesn't want you to know is that trading is not a means for daily sustenance, but rather a long-term investment that requires a clear strategy and long patience.
Why Does the "Quick Profit" Mentality Fail?
When you enter the market with the mentality of "I want to make a living today," you put yourself in one of the most dangerous financial situations:
❌ Succumbing to Emotions: Making decisions under the pressure of needing daily profits
❌ Uncalculated Risks: Entering high-risk trades to achieve quick profits
❌ Neglecting Risk Management: Ignoring rules to preserve capital
❌ Consecutive Losses: Falling into a spiral of trying to recover losses with riskier trades
The final outcome in most cases is:
· Loss of capital
· Accumulation of debts
· Psychological and financial stress
· Trading addiction as an attempt to take revenge on the market
