Is trading really profitable or just a disguised casino?

[camgeal45]

I have been wondering if trading is really profitable in the long term or if it is only a sophisticated random game where the house (the brokers and the big funds

Trading is profitable, but not for everyone.The majority loses because they believe it is easy, that with a couple of magical indicators or watching YouTube videos they will become millionaires.If you treat trading like a casino, you will lose like in a casino.If you treat it as a business, you have a chance.But of course, most prefer fantasy before discipline.

Do not fool themselves.90% of traders lose because this game is designed to lose.The great funds manipulate the price, the brokers play against you with Spreads and Slippages, and the market is brutally irrational.I do not say it is impossible to win, but I do say that it is against you.So, if you want to enter, prepare for war because there is no mercy here.

[lumemesal]

People always ask if trading is profitable, but never ask if they are good enough to make it profitable.It's like asking a gym if it is possible to have a Six-Pack.Yes, of course it is possible, but do you have the discipline to achieve it?

[alipemgigok89]

Many believe that trading is random because they enter without strategy, without risk control and without plan.Then they lose and say "this is a casino."The problem is not trading, the problem is that most do not know how to play the game.Learn first and then tell me if it is still chance.

[Nizamloko1]

Profitable?Yes. Easy?No. What happens is that the majority want to win without doing hard work.They study two weeks and already believe they can live on this.The few who really win do so because they spent years perfecting their system, controlling their emotions and learning to lose without despair.

Here comes the typical discussion always: "Trading is random vs. trading is skill."The truth is that it is both.Yes, there is a factor of chance because you cannot control the market.But there is also skill because you can manage that chance in your favor.

[vicpkmgamelhbale]

If you cannot be profitable without leverage, you will not be with him either.Many believe that increasing logging will win faster, but all they do is accelerate their bankruptcy.Learn to win with little and then scale.

What few say is that trading is profitable ... but only if you have enough capital.If you operate with $ 100 waiting to get rich, you better go to the lottery.The market rewards those who can endure Drawdowns, not those who enter with the last ticket waiting for a miracle.

[oxmiicmucess]

The problem is that trading is addictive.Even if you win or lose, you always want more.And that is where many fall into the trap and end up merging their accounts.If you cannot control your impulses, better or enter here.It is not just technical analysis, it is mental control.

[Jllecoaslem]

The best way to know if trading is profitable is to ask: do you know someone who lives exclusively about this?If the answer is no, then you know reality.Those who really are not in forums, are busy making money.

[Igomolalz]

Trading is not for everyone.Not everyone can be medical, engineers or professional athletes, why do they think everyone can be traders?If you do not have patience, discipline and the right mentality, better or start.Here only those who are really made for this survive.

[camgeal45]

If you still doubt whether trading is profitable, it probably is not for you.It is not an insult, it is reality.People who really win with this do not spend the day wondering if possible, they simply do so.If you think everything is against yours, that the brokers steal you, that the market is manipulated, that the technical analysis is a hoax ... then better or start.The victim's mentality is the first reason why people fail in this business.

[bokscol]

Of course, trading is profitable, but not for everyone.Only a few manage to turn it into a serious business because they have the necessary discipline and knowledge.Most seek shortcuts, miraculous systems and magical signals.Those are the ones who lose money and then come to say that this is pure chance.

[Gimeno88]

The profitability in trading depends on two things: risk management and psychology.If you do not master either, forget about making money.What I see is that most do not lose for the market, it loses because it does not know when to stop.A loser trace becomes revenge, and that is where they begin to throw the account at the trash.

[joliyas47]

Those who say that trading is random are the same who believe that buying an action because "it looks cheap" is technical analysis.The market has rules and patterns.If you can't see them, the problem is not the market, it is you.

[LminiCampll]

Trading is a competition in which the most prepared take the money from the least prepared.So simple.If you approach this without education, without strategy and without experience, you are not a trader, you are a dam.

[lennya7]

I have been in the market for five years and the only constant is that 90% of new traders disappear in less than a year.The problem is that people underestimate the time and effort that requires being profitable.They want immediate results, and the market is responsible for teaching the lesson to blows.

[Llcam300]

If you cannot handle your emotions, the market will handle them for you.And believe me, you won't like the way you do.80% of trading is mentality.The analysis and strategy are important, but if you do not have emotional control, you will end up making the same mistakes over and over again.

[gaxxela98]

There is a reason why investment funds and banks have winning traders: they do not operate like you.They do not pursue the price, they do not operate with fear, they do not use random strategies.They follow clear rules and know when to take losses without drama.Learn from them instead of complaining.

[Gazpem]

The one who says that trading is a casino has never made a serious backtest in his life.If you think that everything is random, test: take a system with clear rules, backtestéalo in 10 years of data and see if there is a real advantage or not.Then we talk.

[pimmimomi]

The market is always going to punish you if you think you are smarter than him.If you don't have humility, you will put you in your place faster than you imagine.That is why most do not last.It is not that the market is impossible, it is that people believe they are invincible after two good gusts and ends up ruined.

What the trading gurus never tell you is that more than 50% of the time you will be in Drawdown.If you do not have the patience to endure it without despair, you will end up closing positions in losses just before the market moves in your favor.

[punlamexxi]

Trading is not just technical analysis, it is also knowing when not operating.People lose more money because it operates too much.Sometimes the best operation is doing nothing.

[Oxoxgeisoxel]

Many are looking for the perfect strategy, but they don't realize that no strategy works if you have no discipline.You can have the best technique in the world, but if you don't follow your own rules, you will lose money.

[AVISANCHWZ]

There are traders who live from this, but you will not see them selling courses on YouTube.If someone earns money with trading, why would I spend their time teaching you instead of continuing to win?Think it.

[Lomencineencasa]

Every time I see someone to say that trading is impossible, the first thing I think is: "Another that had no patience."People give up too fast.This is a long -term game, not a scheme to get rich in six months.

[1oxlabac]

The majority problem is that they want to convert $ 100 to 10,000 into a month.If you start with unreal expectations, you will end up with disastrous results.Learn to win shortly before wanting to win a lot.

[Back]

The market owes you nothing.No matter how much you study or how much you think you deserve to win.If you do not have a clear and proven advantage, the market will take your money without blinking.

[bugely]

Successful traders are not the ones who have the most knowledge, but those who can follow their plan without hesitation.Indecision kills more accounts than a bad analysis.

Many enter the market wanting to change their lives, but they don't want to change their habits.If you keep making bad decisions outside trading, don't expect miracles inside trading.

[oxlicayg]

The only way to win in trading is with a statistical advantage.If you operate without knowing what your advantage is, then you are only betting with hope.

[oxjooxjele]

Those who win in trading are not the most intelligent, but the most disciplined.If you can't follow a plan without sabotaging, no matter how many books you read.

[Alffa10]

Your worst enemy in the market is not the broker or banks.It is yourself.If you learn to control yourself, the market can no longer hurt you.

[pemofo]

If you can't sleep at night because you have open operations, it means you are operating with too much risk.Reduce the size of your position until you can handle the pressure without stress.

[oliml]

Trading is not easy, but it is not impossible either.The problem is that the majority do not want to take the necessary time to learn to do it well.

The profitable trading secret is consistency, not luck.If you keep jumping from strategy in strategy, you will never win seriously.

[jvlay.g.i]

Trading is not about making fast money.It's about surviving enough time to learn to win.
