People, especially those far from the trading sphere, are easily misguided. The only thing to tell them is that here you can make a lot of money, prove with some "evidence" which can be called evidence with a stretch and then they are yours. This is the way trading shouldn't' be promoted.
It should be presented as a sphere which opens opportunities but at the same time characterizes by collosal load.
Traders are influenced both physically and mentally and not all of them get rich eventually, the majority just leaves the market. So, it's better to hint those who consider trading as a panacea for financial independence, that it's not correct, they must work hard.
