Why do we always advise ordinary people not to do spot trading?

The ultimate fate of most people in spot trading is only one: to go to zero.
Even for the very few survivors who manage to flip their positions and reach A7 or A8, what awaits them are often even more deadly traps.
External "praise and criticism" can make you blindly confident, while large and transparent positions will turn you into a fat sheep targeted for sniping. An insider setup can send you back to the beginning overnight.
The trading market is inherently a bloodthirsty casino. Doing spot trading is no different than revealing your cards on the table and betting against the house. Without experience in risking your life on the line, you simply can't escape the tiger's mouth.
It's like winning 2 million in Las Vegas and preparing to stop. The casino owner won't turn hostile; instead, they'll upgrade you to a presidential suite, pair you with top models, and even promise to escort you by private jet when you leave. The owner lowers their stance to the minimum, giving you the face of a "constant winner."
Unable to resist the hospitality, you feel embarrassed to just take the freebie, thinking, "As a high-stakes gambler, I should play a few more rounds."
And that's exactly what the owner is waiting for—he knows human nature too well. After winning big, you can't handle the boredom of small wins; once you lose a round, you'll double down without hesitation, trying to instantly recover your losses.
Soon, your chips grow larger and larger, and your mindset completely collapses. The final result is: not only do you lose the 2 million you won, but you also end up losing the 1 million you brought in.
This is the first rule of the casino: it's not afraid of you winning money, but of you not playing at all.
The same logic applies to spot trading: when you expose your funds, operations, and mindset under the spotlight, you become that VIP arranged by the boss to stay in the presidential suite, watched by countless eyes until every last drop of blood is drained.
