Trading can be an interesting source of income, but it also carries high risks, especially in the short term. When managed well, with discipline and strategy, it allows for growth of a small capital, sometimes quickly. However, many beginners lose money due to a lack of patience, training, or risk management.
What I think:
• It is very useful if you want to learn to read the markets and become independent.
• You should practice with small stakes, as you are currently doing.
• Never risk more than you can afford to lose.
In summary: good tool, but mastery is mandatory.
