Suppose you have 1,000 yuan, and you face three options.

The first, a 50/50 split: either double your money to 2,000 or lose everything. The second, a probabilistic game: a one-in-ten chance to turn into 10,000 yuan, but a 90% chance to lose it all. Sounds good? Actually, this is just a gambler's choice, no different from buying a lottery ticket.

The third is the real trading approach. A 70% chance to profit, with returns ranging from double to ten times or more. Even in the remaining 30% of cases where you lose, you can still preserve more than half of your principal. This risk-reward ratio applies universally to stocks, spot markets, or futures.

Many people have biases against trading, either influenced by the ramblings of failed traders or jumping to conclusions that it's gambling without understanding it properly. But looking at the primary market in the crypto space, you’ll find opportunities (similar to option C's setup) at least three to five times a week.

The difference is this: gambling relies on luck, trading relies on probability and risk management. The first two options are bets, but the third is genuine trading.
