I have noticed many traders are losing to trading, there are many reasons that caused this. The first I know are the new traders, they know nothing about trading.
Even if they are not newbies, not new traders, it does not mean they are professional traders. I mean know how to trade does not mean they are pro. Consequently, they are not able to get profits in the market by trading.
According to many stats, in general, traders bear more loses than investors. Investors earn more profit than most of traders.
Reference:
The odds of day trading yourself to a profit are lower than you expectAdditionally, the risk of loss from Leverage or Future trading are much higher than Spot trading. Leverage from 5x+ are very risky.
