Topic: How long to learn trading? - page 11. (Read 2056 times)

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.

In trading, it is very important to learn from your mistakes, if you know that you are obliged to use a stop loss in every trade, then this should always be done without any exceptions. This is just one example, but it is important to understand that every rule a trader uses must always be followed in every transaction, otherwise you will not be able to become a successful trader and no new knowledge will help you succeed in this matter. As you acquire new knowledge, you can adjust these rules, but compliance with them will be mandatory in any case.

Learning to trade is a process that varies from person to person. I can state that this process varies between a few weeks and a few months depending on the person's learning ability, speed of gaining experience and interests. The process of learning to trade varies depending on analysis skills as well as the process of gaining experience. Additionally, it is important to remember that trading is never something that we can learn completely because financial markets are constantly changing which means that no one can learn trading perfectly.

In order to learn introductory, intermediate and advanced trading, it will be sufficient to have knowledge about the interpretation of financial markets, the use of indicators and analysis methods. However, as I mentioned, unfortunately, it isn't possible to learn trading perfectly due to the structures of financial markets. In addition, it is very important in this process to constantly gain experience due to the many mistakes a person will make regardless of their knowledge level and to increase the level of experience without repeating these mistakes.

Finally, I would like to remind you that it isn't enough for an entry-level person to simply learn how to use indicators or analyze how to conclude that "I learned the trade". Learning, emotion management, budget management, transaction management and the use of SL-TP levels is also very important in order to conclude "I learned the trade".

As a child, my teachers used to say that there is no end to learning. My school master told me like this that if you read a subject 10 times you will learn something new ten times and after reading ten times when you read that particular subject again 11 times you will learn more new things. It is clear in his words that no matter how much we know about a particular subject, there is much more to know. There is no end to learning about trading, the more you know about trading, the more you will improve your trading skills and you will be able to trade in new ways. I also noticed that after starting trading with a rough understanding of trading, I slowly gained a better understanding of trading from real experience and I think I have a lot more to learn and I will learn a lot more in the future. So I think we don't have any specific target for learning trading.

I think, you can use one month or two months to learn crypto trading and start profiting through out your trading because the most important thing there is to know how to read to know the type of wallet you are going to use for your coins that will guarantee you safe when the time comes to trade your coins to make a good profits. But those that used weeks to learn crypto trading are not professional like those that used months to learned crypto trading to know everything concerning crypto trading and how to observe during the bearish season to know what to do not to experience loses from the market. I think, it hard for professional crypto traders to get panic whenever there is a bearish season because they know that it will not last forever, but those that used weeks to learned crypto trading will start panicking at the moment.

You can learning about trading quickly but to master trading, you must practice it enough and it's hard to generalize how long it is enough to master Trading. Most of traders like 90% fail in trading so to be master Trading, you must belong to 10% of successful traders. It's a damn hard task and even a newbie trader starts with high optimistic attitude for his trading adventure, let's prepare for unhappy results.

Because with that caution, I hope that newbie trader will trade more carefully.

Awesome Crypto Trading.

At that time, I learned trading for about a month at least. For me, it is not easy to ensure I have sufficient knowledge to start trading properly. The hardest thing to learn is technical analysis and the way to determine the exit time (when to take profits). It requires some weeks to understand it, it is difficult to to master in a short time. It is because those matters are quite complex and very technical.

Sure. Professional/experienced traders know which matters to learn first for newbies/beginners. They already spent a long time in trading, it makes sense if they know well everything about trading.

Trading education will largely depend on you, the amount of time you can spend and the amount of knowledge you can acquire to learn trading. If you are stupid or ignorant it may take years, but you will not learn trading. And if you are an intelligent or wise person, then you can be successful only after few months of effort. It will depend on you to take your education, so you can easily learn about trading if you learn carefully. Or if you want to keep trading with constant advice from an experienced person, gradually you will understand about trading.

not long. it should be 3 months. I only studied the main RSI and then the candle patterns, how it is resistance and support. After understanding a little I immediately tried it. I know this is still not enough, but if I don't start now I think I will waste a lot of opportunities. Therefore I will continue to learn directly from my own trading experience.

That's right to learn a theory maybe it won't take long enough, one or two weeks is probably enough to understand everything there and also along with some basic strategies. And yes I agree that what is very difficult is how to place or use the strategy, the market is very volatile, anything can happen there including losses. Therefore, in my opinion, it is indeed familiarizing and adapting to the market that is the most difficult, especially when we want to open a position, of course it requires a lot of consideration to make the right decision, none other than that just for the sake of the profit we always want.

Agree, trading involves money in it, therefore when the process of learning and adapting I think losses are familiar, especially when we are at the learning stage. In trading we will not be able to completely avoid losses because there are so many factors that will influence and certainly lead us to losses, it doesn't matter and the point is I hope you can make that loss a very valuable lesson. It is common knowledge that if you want to get progress then you must be able to learn from mistakes, so that such things do not happen again.

I think it shouldn't take long if we dare to jump straight in. The problem is that usually we have too much theory so we try too much before trying. I don't think it's wrong to jump in with the least capital first. Then, slowly, you will understand how trading is and that's the time to reap profits.

To be able to trade I only need 3 days. At that time I was taught in full for 3 days by my friend, from registering an account to placing buy and sell orders and immediately making a profit (still under my friend's instructions). At that time I traded with the DOGE/BTC pair in 2014 before I knew Bitcointalk. However, to be able to fully carry out technical analysis, get to know doji, market structure and so on, I need more time, even now I still feel lacking and continue to learn. Because there are many new things we need to learn in trading and in every situation there must be a different strategy even though it is basically the same.

It's been 2 years, and I am still learning. there is no limit on how much you can learn. so I don't think you get all the ideas about trading only in 9 months. maybe the basics or something that you can make profit from. and it depends on your capability of learning. I myself I always forget things. if I learn something today I would most likely forget it about in a week or two. so I have to constantly keep on learning or reviewing what I have already learned. and there is no shortcut in learning.
and when it comes to learn how to trade, it's a bit more complicated. if you think that you have learned everything about trading then you are wrong. The crypto market is always evolving and in order to stay up to date with it, you need to create different kind of strategies on your own based on the situation of the market. so I don't think you can learn all of it in just 9 months. you need to keep on learning in order to be a good trader or to be the best. but 9 months is a good amount of time to learn the basics and master it. by doing this later on you can come up with your own strategies based on the market situation. so I don't think it's a bad idea. you can give it a try.

Weeks... or I think it only took days before I learn trading.
Don't take what I said seriously. Yes I learned trading in only a few weeks, but I didn't make myself profitable while doing it.

TBH, I don't know how much an aspiring trader will take for them to be an expert. I guess the one who can answer this are the ones whom they can consider themselves as experts in trading. What I know is that, as long as there's a strategy that's working for you then you can get yourself profitable already. Correct me if I'm wrong with this one though. I don't believe that it takes 9 months before you learn trading. You can spend those 9 months learning trading, but in the end, you can't get yourself profitable in trading still.

Overall, there's no exact number on this one. As for me, I don't want to spend months learning trading. It only took me weeks, and I failed. No regrets though.

learning theory doesn't take long. maybe in 1-2 weeks you can find out the ways and strategies in trading. but using the trading strategy you learned to make a profit, takes longer.
I don't know for sure, but it was probably more than a year until I was probably comfortable enough in trading. Don't ever calculate how much you will lose because it might make you give up at the beginning before you enjoy your learning process.

It's good that you are trying to learn more about trading with a tutor or course. There are many experienced traders out there that are willing to to teach beginners their knowledge. It's hard to give a fixed amount of time that one person needs to become a trader. There are people who have prior knowledge and will pick it up in a few weeks, while others may need several month. It also comes down to how much time you can invest every week. One tip I would give any beginner is to run a demo trading account at the side and not invest a lot of money on these trades directly. Chance based investing is fine if we don't have any idea or don't have the time to make our own research. But I would prefer to buy a larger number of coins than just 1 or 2 per week, the more we spread our money out the lower will be our risk of losing a lot of money. With stocks we could just buy ETFs to diversify our money, in the crypto world we would need to build our own portfolio. The main trading idea is that we still want to hold general crypto market exposure, but not face too much risk by one single crypto coin. When we become more experienced and have more sophisticated trading strategies we can focus more on a single project that will outperform the market. Also the learning process is never going to be over, we can always learn something new and improve our strstegies.

The time it takes to become a productive trader varies substantially across individuals. It is determined by elements such as past knowledge, devotion, and the complexity of the trading technique. The tutor's suggested nine-month course most likely covers a wide range of topics to guarantee pupils have a well-rounded education in trading. Although experienced traders may provide significant insights and shortcuts, there are no guarantees in trading.

Truth to be told i dont think we have a specific time, that we stop learning new things when it comes to tradoing aspects, have been trading since 2017 till date and i can boldly tell you that i still learn things each pass day of my life on the journey.

In principle, trading is very easy, just buy when it's cheap, and sell when the price goes up. Learning it is even very fast, however, for experts in the field it is very difficult. In fact, I believe that people who have been in the world of trading for a long time still continue to learn and adapt to changes and market developments that occur.
It's best to keep learning and not have to think about how long it will take because sometimes expert people don't count how long they study. They are experts because they are used to doing that. Each person has different abilities in learning. Some people master this in a few months, some a few years, some are still learning and still make mistakes. What is clear, what you need to do is continue to learn and adapt.

If you have good knowledge then you will never take such a long course for trading. If nine months are spent to teach trading, I think it is a long time and if one spends this long time there to learn, he must feel restlessness. If you want to have a profitable business, you need to know some tricks and it doesn't take much time to learn them. If you learn market strategies with a week's time, you can definitely make profit easily. Moreover, when a user goes to learn about trading, his learning depends on his experience. There are many things to learn about trading, not everyone can do everything, it's a long time job. Moreover, if you are a well-informed and skilled person, you can definitely learn about trading completely within three weeks. If an experienced trader teaches you well, you will definitely understand the market quickly and you will get an idea of how to start trading and make a profit. So if you want to learn from a professional trader then surely you can learn fast and profit by trading
