The first time you take control of an airplane, you need thousands of hours of training. But many people, on their first trade, still dare to put all their savings in—thinking they’re just displaying courage. Trading isn’t easier than any other high-risk profession, yet people treat it like a game anyone can play. Mistakes made in a paper trading account won’t hurt you, but they will make you remember the lesson. One mistake in a real trading account could mean getting wiped out. Not checking the direction, not calculating position size, and not setting a stop-loss—these are just loss numbers in a paper account, but in real markets they represent months of your hard work. Spend the time to drill your actions to standard in a zero-cost environment, and only then do real trading—no rush #BSTREndsCantorSPACGoPublicPlan $ZEC $ETH
