I can’t wait until there’s warnings on stock market apps like cigarettes and lottery tickets. Well actually I guess there are no warnings on lotto tickets, probably for the exact same reason as why the government doesn’t protect people from being scammed by hedge funds with way more info than they have: the government needs that revenue.

CFD trading apps have this in the UK (and possibly EU, but I can’t see whether ESMA kept the rule):

“78% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider.”

Of course, there are a lot more ways to lose money than CFDs.
