Trading seems easy to make money if you're good at it, but if you're not, you'll inevitably incur significant losses. As a beginner, I sometimes experience losses and profits.
Trading might seem easy but it is the opposite because most of us lack the knowledge, nerve and automation software required to do that.
In this topic, I'd like to hear about your trading experiences, whether you've always lost or not.
I will not use the terms win/lose here, because it is a wrong application of the terms. You dont lose in spot trading, you own the opposite asset and you might need to hold that till you can sell again.
In your opinion, the best and most consistently profitable trading is in the futures or spot markets.
So I try to divide trading into spot trading and non-spot trading. The first one is the actual trading, all the others that come under non-spot are gambling and hence not actual trading. If you are trying the latter you will "lose" and the application of the term win/lose would become appropriate because it is gambling.
I'd also like to hear your advice on which altcoins to trade in, or whether it's safer to trade in BTC. Everyone's experience is certainly different.
Same buy low sell high you can do on altcoins too but I would not suggest delving into them. Long term profit in bitcoin is much higher than altcoins.
