Topic: How long to learn trading? - page 10. (Read 1929 times)

Learning never ends. It all depends on your determination and how well you put what you do into practice.  I'm not saying I'm perfect yet but I use different tactics to hone my strategy in trading. Like the Range Sniper I use sometimes for prediction where price could reach in the next seven days. Sometimes I win, while sometimes I lose. These will make me look into what mistake I made to miss my target

More precisely in any learning it depends on the accuracy and focus of the individual in doing something, it will provide learning that can be more effective and efficient in learning something including in learning trading, yes it is subjective and according to his own abilities in understanding learning.

What? Do you learn one by one? I am a little curious how much time you need in learning one technique until you master it? You have a good method for consuming learning.

They can learn yeah but if we talk about between learning in a short period of time compared to spending a couple of months, you can see a huge difference with them. Maybe we could say it depends on the person but ideally, if we want to learn more, then must expect that it will take a longer time than usual. Better to know that there is no instant learning in trading and must remember that this is trading and we have a bigger chance to earn more if we have more experience and knowledge.

Actually, in my opinion, learning trading doesn't need to be measured whether it takes a long time or not, because it depends on the level of understanding that you have to pay attention to. If it's a little slow, it means you need to be patient, whereas if it's fast and able to understand everything related to techniques, and methods and being able to implement them at a certain time, it means it won't take long. Personally, I don't really demand myself to understand quickly even though it can be done, because usually I prefer to study 1 technique until I really understand not only the theory but also its application. And I didn't learn all the techniques, I only studied them according to my needs and could be applied at that time.

Not a course but the process of learning can be seen as a course. I have watch and downloaded many tutorials from Udemy and was even given a certificate of enrollment. How you understand trading depends on:

• Who tought you the trading
• The techniques
• How fast the learner reciprocate the learning
• How good you the learner is able to transform the basic into real trading.

People skip the last part but you can't understand trading if you don't put your test into real trading.


Demo trading are scams, it doesn't prepare newbies for the real task ahead. Everyone that try demo trading win all the time but when it comes real trading, they lost everything. Instead of going for demo, it's better to utilize paper trading, it's like doing real trading but instead of dummy live, it's going to be on real time. Trading live has that feature.

Often newbie traders concentrate on the skills you can learn by the book, like technical analysis, however in order to execute your strategy as you should you need way more than that.

With being able to perform under pressure as one of the key skills a trader must have, as it is easy to do everything right when you are paper trading or using a demo account, but when you have years of savings riding on the market this is not easy at all, and only those that can remain calm under those circumstances can become good traders.

Actually, even though we can control what is done, things like this still have a big risk where we know that when we try to trade but without being accompanied by knowledge or skills that we have no matter how strong we are in restraining emotions (good self-control) it will not guarantee because trading clearly has to have some techniques and at least basic knowledge that we must master considering that this is not gambling by guessing and relying on instinct.

The concept of trading even though it looks simple but it is much more difficult than imagined so when someone who still hasn't mastered this then don't try to be in trading because it can make you miserable and ultimately blame crypto as a scam as it always happens for some people today.

The trick is that people usually lose patience with it, so if you could keep your emotions in check and do not make any mistakes, then you should be able to do it without a trouble. I understand that it may not be all that troublesome, but if you could do it then you should be able to make some profit with it. I get that it may not be all that simple, but it could be done and you could make some returns without a trouble.

I believe that you are going to end up with something that will benefit you one way or another, and could be something that will definitely benefit you. I hope that people could end up with a return that would be a lot more questionable if they start too quickly, so they should give it some time.

Trading is not a course to be honest. Yes you can learn the basics of trading or how to read the market etc. But if you ask how to trade? Then it can be learnt by experience only. I will suggest you a basic roadmap. Learn the initial pre requisite for trading. Learn about analysing charts and patterns of coins. When you are done with this, then go for demo trading with dummy money. Once you are confident with this, then switch for real money and trade with minimising the risk.

You said it right; it seems that the theory is different from the actual, if that's what you mean. Because of my experience, the lesson is easy, but applying what has been studied is the difficult part, and it cannot be easily understood.

That's why those who have experience in actual trade are better able to understand compared to those who are just studying trading.
Then 2 years passed before I had a deep understanding of reading the trading chart, or s graph, to be honest, because it is not easy to understand based on what I have been through here.

But look, what is the reality now, the people who enter trading are those who are still new and do not have any knowledge of the world of trading.
Even last year in my country it was viral with a Futures trading platform that gave a lot of losses to beginners who tried to trade without knowledge and only relied on their luck.

Yups, in the end, they will waste money for nothing.
Beginners really need to be educated on how to trade properly and profitably,
not just tempted by advertisements that appear as if trading can provide a lot of money in just a moment.

Learning to trade is not easy, it takes time and effort, and it takes a clear mind to absorb every incoming knowledge and a strong desire to continue learning.
I started learning from the beginning when I entered this forum and until now also still learning.

Yes, it's true that it takes a long time to be able to understand the world of trading, not just haphazardly. To be able to understand and understand trading so that it can be profitable, of course you have to have clear knowledge so that it doesn't cause harm, but there will definitely be losses, but if you trade with clear knowledge, it might be Minimize the risk of loss, learn everything about trading so you can predict correctly and make a profit because basically no one wants to experience a loss even though there will definitely be a loss. Few people have the desire to learn to understand a field they want to work in.

If you have limited money, it's best not to try trading, especially without the slightest knowledge, but if you have more money or enough money, there's no harm in trying trading, but with the caveat that it must be accompanied by clear knowledge, don't just predict the movement of indicators, if you just guess it won't be able to provide a profit but it will only waste your money if you use the theory only luck can provide a profit even if it is right, if it is wrong then you yourself will feel the loss

It's important to know that trading is dynamic and broad so it definitely may to have an exact time frame for which you would become very proficient at it. There are varying personalities out there with different schedule flexibility, learning pace and interest drive. All this put together can determine to a great extent how long it will take you to learn and master the act of trading across all trading variations.

Trading have varying facets and your choice of what facet of trading you want to be skilled in also have an effect on how long it will take you to learn and get good at it. It's one thing to learn and another to master the act and become profitable. As a beginner an average of six months should be enough to get most of the basics but this time frame isn't binding as some could take longer and the other evens lesser, but on the advanced scale I don't think you ever stop learning, at the advanced stage rather you keep improving and getting even better with the act of trading. This is not all but I think just to stay within the confined of this discussion this is the much I could say for now.

Yes, it depends only on the individual if how long he can master it. I think what important is we shouldn't rush but we should genuinely read and understand it properly because the more we rush, our efforts of fake learning how to trade will only be a waste of time as we can still lose. I know losing is still inevitable for a well-educated trader but at least it doesn't come too often.

I don't know what you mean by fat trading and low time. Are those just a typo? Also the candle part in trading is only one part but there is more than it. So, you shouldn't highlight it alone. Practicing allows us to familiarize things but too much of it are I think useless since real trades are still different or the market can still move differently each time we trade.

That is his program of teaching but for me, that is enough to make someone become knowledgeable enough in trading unless, he mentioned for for someone to just learn about the basics. Just imagine that becoming a professional is never made too quickly nor it be done in just a few days or weeks but it takes months to years. Now, if you are asking for shortcuts, that is impossible. If you think about being a profitable trader, then think that there are a lot of things that you need to understand and learn which is impossible to shorten instructions otherwise, you've never learned it fully.

Self learn!

Everything could be found in youtube and if you do have that time and effort then you could really be able to learn up trading and not really that long.If you do prefer on having a mentor then its up to you but of course it wont really be coming free or having no cost.So its up to you whether you would really be willing to pay on someone who could really be able to guide you up or would really be just simply learning trading for yourself without having anyone to follow but somewhat this kind of path is hard since you dont have any idea on where to start but doesnt mean that it is impossible.It is really just that there are people who are really that eager to learn without needing to pay a dime into those people who are really that keen about spending.

In my case, it didnt take up that long or having that 9 months learning for me to have a good grasps with trading.It did only have that 3-4 months as far as i remember on which i have known different sets of indicators on which you could really be able to make use or something that would really be relevant into your trading career. Its not really just that things to be fast and if you are that a type of person
who does have that short temper then for sure it wont really be something that wont really fit on you.

It depends on the person itself, people have different paces when they are learning something it could be they are more fast-learning person or the opposite. If slow-learning person wants to learn more about advanced strategies then it would take really long time to actually grasp the strategies really well. It just depends, we don't know how well that person is to learn something, it actually took me more than 2 years to actually understand something but still it far too become perfect and I still suffer from the losses.

Learning about trading depends on dedication, determination, and your ability to grasp, there are fast and slow learners, so the category in which you fall contributes a lot to the time you spend on learning about trading. Learning about trading continues even after you have stopped learning from your mentor, and that's when you start to learn from your personal experience with trading, particularly the practical knowledge of what you have been taught by a mentor and the one that requires your personal experience.

Basically, of course, it only takes a short time but what takes a long time is when you start learning at a higher level including strategy and also how to finally become an expert but in my opinion you have to always learn to be able to keep getting profits, but the most important thing is from trading what cannot be learned from a textbook is controlling emotions, sticking to a set strategy and only changing it when you have evaluated it because winning once is not enough to prove that the strategy is more effective than other strategies, and what is no less important is to start practicing with capital that suits your pocket and your ability to lose.

In theory, it doesn't actually take months to learn, but in practice it will take a lot of time. The problem is that when we understand the theory, it doesn't necessarily mean we can apply it directly and run smoothly. That's why many have difficulty learning to trade not from the theory but from the practice.
Yes, learning from experience as long as we trade will be very helpful for the development of our trading skills, but we must be prepared for the big risks that await us. If you want to learn from experience, then you should do it with as little capital as possible.
