Profile:An individual who trade financial instruments like stocks, options, futures, currencies, or commodities as their primary profession. They typically possess advanced skills, in-depth knowledge, and extensive experience in financial markets. Professional traders operate in various roles, including positions at banks, hedge funds, asset management firms, and proprietary trading companies.

Drawback: High entry barriers.

Risk of Loss: None

Profile: A trader who adhere to traditional investment principles, emphasizing long-term value and the power of compounding. Their trading decisions are typically guided by fundamental analysis and market news, making them some of the most risk-averse participants in the market.

Drawback: Achieving significant returns may require considerable amount of time.

Risk of Loss: Low*

Profile:An inspired trader who focuses exclusively on identifying and capitalizing on trends and price momentum. Their decision-making heavily relies on chart analysis to identify assets with strong directional movements or patterns—whether upward or downward—and implement strategies like “buying the dip” or “riding the trend” to maximize profits.

Drawback: Charts reflect past price action, which may not reliably indicate future price movements or aid in price discovery.

Risk of Loss: Moderate**

Profile: An individual inspired to trade by social media platforms like TikTok, who rely heavily on tips and strategies shared by influencers, forums, or trading communities. Their decisions in trading are largely influenced by advice and ideas circulated online.

Drawback: Social media is saturated with misleading information and unsubstantiated strategies, making consistent favorable results highly unlikely.

Risk of Loss: High***

Profile: An individual whose decision-making is primarily driven by speculation and risk-taking, often relying on luck instead of strategy, research, or discipline. A gambler’s actions are motivated more by entertainment and the pursuit of quick profits than by calculated decisions or long-term planning.

Drawback: Trading is closely related to gambling, with a comparable risk of addiction.
