Now and days alot of people have this mindset that trading is get rich quick scheme, which shouldn't be like that . I have seen alot of cases where newbies or individual with half-size knowledge about this space jumping into trading without any proper knowledge, some even go further starting with future trading, with the sole aim to make alot of profit fast .which is actually wrong , because you may endup making countless losses with such move .
Looking at the way things are turning and changing fast in the world that we live in, we can't really blame people who are eager or seem to be in a rush to make money, even from things they have no prior knowledge of, inflation is dealing with a lot of people, taking people who were once rich back to poverty levels again.
So, it's quite justifiable why it seems like a lot of people are trying to start making profit over night from things they are just starting out, or getting into, like crypto trading and so on, forgetting that it takes time and process before one is knowledgeable enough to guarantee them some level of profit when ever they enter the market.
I completely agree with you @op, trading is not for learners, and the worst thing a newbie can do is get into futures trading without first spending time to learn how to trade futures, even the future market environment is confusing as hell on most exchanges, and this is why In order not to make any mistakes that could lead to irreparable loses, a trader going into futures trading must spend alot of time, minimum of at least 6 months learning, knowledge they say is power, and without knowledge, one ls completely powerless against the futures market, a learner should limit their trading activities to the spot market alone, until they gain enough knowledge and confidence to try the futures market.
