Trading is not a game, nor a bet. It is a profession that requires discipline, strategy, and emotional control. Many beginner traders (myself included at one point) lose a significant portion of their capital by trading without a clear plan and being driven by emotions like euphoria or fear.
Losing is inevitable, but there is a difference between losing intelligently and burning your account. Even the best traders lose, but the key is that their losses are controlled and never exceed their long-term gains.
The market is not a scam, but it is also not a level playing field. There are institutions, algorithms, and whales that operate with information and advantages that retail traders do not have. However, that does not mean it is impossible to win. With education, patience, and risk management, you can build a profitable system.
If you continue to trade without strategy, without emotional control, and without understanding the market, it is not the market that takes your money, it is you who gives it away.
The difference between those who lose and those who win in trading is not luck, but preparation. Learn, develop a plan, and treat this as a business, not as a casino.
