A Few Facts and Advise for Those Who Want to Become Traders

For someone watching from the outside, being a trader may seem attractive. People making money by watching charts at their computers and pressing a few buttons... You may have seen a tweet or a video: statements like "Earn income with just 15 minutes a day!" sound nice, but they have no relation to reality.

If you have not received any technical analysis training so far, and you do not know how financial markets work, what liquidity, volatility, artificial orders, and algorithms mean, to be clear, it would be healthier for you not to step into this market.

"If you're going to do it, do it knowing the truths"

If you still say, "I want to learn this job" despite this, then you should know this first: making a living solely by doing this job has a statistically very low probability.

🔹 According to various research conducted on exchanges and crypto platforms:

76% of retail traders completely lose their capital or see it erode by more than 70% within the first year.

The percentage of traders who constantly make a profit varies between 5% and 8% depending on the platform and the period.

In the crypto markets, this ratio is decreasing even further because volatility is high, leverage ratios are used uncontrollably, and manipulation is much more common.

92% of the top-performing profitable traders are also working full-time in another job, and they carry out this work either with semi-automatic systems or by analyzing from time to time.

"If You Don't Have a Plan B, Don't Have a Plan A for This Job"

Making a living solely by trading is like earning a living just by playing poker. There are winners, but they are few. And when the vast majority realizes that they are not winning, they have either run out of capital or wasted months of time.

So my advice to you is:

➡️ Continue to pursue your profession, job, or expertise.
➡️ Consider trading only as a side income model.
➡️ Progress slowly by learning with a small capital and taking low risks.
➡️ If you're impatient and want to make money right away, this job is not for you.

Trading may seem easy from the outside, but it is a field that requires emotional discipline, a methodological approach, patience, and long-term learning. If done correctly and consciously, it can offer you a lot over time. However, if started incorrectly, not only capital but also motivation can be lost.
