Gambling is betting on something you don't understand. Unconsciously you want to lose money for fun. It's as simple as that.

To create a real shortcut, you must invest enough hours researching all possible ways to succeed. That's enough hard work.

It's all about preparation. If you're unprepared, there is a low probability of your success as a trader.

You can be sure "not" to lose money only by "not" trading. Once you're in the trade, chances are more that you'll lose if you're unprepared.

Take the trade only if you're willing to lose the capital at risk, plus charges and taxes. You're welcome to proceed if you can afford the chance; otherwise, let the opportunity go.

Trade mindfully, and you'll make profits, but without risk management, there is no way to become a consistently successful trader.

It takes a lot of little and big profits to increase your equity curve, but one significant loss to eat away your entire account.
