The "Instagram Trader" vs. The Real Trader
The greatest lie currently being propagated on social media is that of a glamourous lifestyle enjoyed by day traders. 💺💰
Just look at what people are doing – talking of trading from the beach while offering 500 times leverage in offshore platforms and claiming they turned their $100 into $10,000 within a week.
Here is the cold, boring truth about professional trading:
🚫 It’s all about not losing money. Professional traders are more focused on preserving their capital. You can’t call yourself a trader when you are risking 10 percent of your capital on any given transaction. That is gambling.
🚫 It’s all highly regulated. If you are in India and you are trading spot gold and EUR/USD in an offshore platform, then you are breaking the rules set by the RBI. True traders trade on legal and authorized exchanges such as NSE/BSE, and they use INR pairs.
🚫 It’s very systematic. There are no secret indicators. Trading is more about back testing, journaling and managing your psychology in addition to accepting losses.
Stop believing the marketing and lay down the foundations first. If you are ready to understand the markets in reality and without all the fancy rental cars and illegal broker gimmicks, you should know about risk management and price action.
