To me, it has cost me money and lost me a lot of trades. When I think that an influencer is good by their posts and trades, people have to realize that they can alter all of those images and they are free to post their demo results. That's the sad truth that they're only good with those, the majority of them aren't really traders but just clout chasers who are attracting to have more audience and fans because many likes to make money and they know how to do it if it's only for the sake of having more followers. And that's without having to spend a lot of penny on their end.
And thats what you should be that careful on on which you should really know on how to spot out on which one is demo and which one is a real one. Actually its not that hard to spot out on the time that you've made yourself as an experienced one but if you are that a newbie then its most likely you would be falling into the trap on which considering that you do lack of knowledge and awareness of things and thats why lots of them get victimized and later on they would be able to realize that its a total BS on following up these people and its better to mind their own trades rather than on following someone. Although there are some which are legit ones but still it doesnt mean that you would be that heavily relying on them specially if you are that planning to make yourself as a profitable trader or someone whose sustainable.
Learning up trading skills wouldnt be just that be able to achieve in a short period of time on which means that you are able to pass through tons of challenges and hardship before you would be able to acquire such skill. Yes, its hard but its not impossible.
Yes, these days. It's not that hard anymore to spot on who's the real ones and not. But it's best to not get into them if you want to safe your money. Because there are influencers that will suck all of your money and will tell you tales and good words just for you to trust them. And for that reason, if you're not going to make any sense with your money, believe them. If you care about how you spend yours, then it's now high time to stop from being in them and learn how to trade properly so that you'll be able to improve your trading skills.
