I think your admonition is valid for the majority.
Trading is a hard game and the majority has to lose so the minority can prosper.
As someone who has traded for more than 30 years, I am reluctant to encourage my children to get involved. It has worked for me but not without serious setbacks and plenty of times when I would question whether the stress and downtimes were worth it.
Good on you for expressing your viewpoint and I for one won't call you a loser. I have been a loser and perhaps it is better to call it quits than throw good money after bad.
I think many are like most gamblers and think if I keep going I can get back my loses etc.
