Crypto Market is a place for real speculators ;

I never learned to day-trade stocks...

But first have to found a broker, that offers leveraged trading on stocks.
Contradicting.

I wouldn't trade at all, - if i couldn't
and trading with leverage while you don't know how to do it in the first place, is twice as bad.

I wouldn't use leverage nor i would touch CFD's.
(actually CFD's is a great example of the nasty side of this business, it's like selling a $40 print of a Mona Lisa and telling that it's an original. Just $799 999 960 cheaper)

This is one of my shower time realizations :
(again, thank you the unconscious mind)

the list of products, that by default - reduces your chances of success , because they have time limits effecting their state :
(and other rights, that doesn't belong to the trader, but other parties)

CFD's
Leverage
Margin account overall
Options
Futures
Being short

The game is rigged to prolong or to fasten up, price action into one or another direction and traders have no power over it. If one thinks that he has the power and he actually does, then SEC will knock into the doors quite soon.

The worst case, when someone takes a fundamental garbage like some unknown shitcoin and use one of those tools for it, or even few of em, to trade it.
E.g Shitcoin futures , with leverage.

Asta la vista & welcome 90/90/90 sir, we been waiting for you.



In the other hand, when you go long, into fundamentally strong company & with no leverage, but ,,pure'' equity position, no one,

no one, - can kick us out.

I am happy with my 10+ ticks per day at Euro Bund future with size and never ever will participate fast moving markets because (one of many reasons) of operational risk. Escpecially dangerous fast markets are for newbies who are tempted by 'get rich quick' on crypto trash.
 
Do you really have to put down 16k margin to trade this shitty contract on CME?

It's too large, it's margin inefficient and it doesn't trade on the weekends? Nobody trades this, except for a couple of Hedge Funds who are too scared or too stupid to dive into crypto native derivatives
 
I am not such a big fan of cryptos; I look a little sceptical at all cryptos (besides btc, since it is prominent).

But, the crypto market offers moves and speculations, that you won't find in such an intense elsewhere.

A week ago the btc was at 7.3k, now its at 9.4k.

What happens to oil once in a while, happens here once a month...

Unfortunately, there is not enough liquidity in this "thing" called BTC. You can get a heart attack trying to place $100M or liquidate $100M open positions.

A couple of retail outlets have lost a shirt and trousers "speculating" in that thing and terminated their B Book profits....

For today, you should be able to get at least 50 ticks longing bund

Stocks are moving much more than cryptos are these days...

What i believe is happening, the same behavior that crypto has, stocks will have for the next 10-20 years, because Bitcoin was a bubble and it traded purely on speculation and emotion(fundamentals are irrelevant), and now kinda the same is happening in stocks.

Nonsense, sure the market is turbulent right now but all this QE makes it impossible to speculate. Crypto remains intra day volatile albeit not as much as before. BTC doubled in price in what, the last two months?

sadly, i'm not so good
10+ is long time averaged result
for last high volatility market the result is higher but still far from 50

but the point is: it is possible to get money from market in much less dramatic manner than trading todays oil or crypto or penny stocks, and it is escpecially true for beginners
