In trading, you just need to become balance. Not all the time you are going to focus on the technicals well there are two different people learning and applying their knowledge.
1. We have the person who called the bookworm they are most likely learning with the use of the information and the books they are reading before applying on the real trading.
2. There is a person who is more on technicals, likely more on experience.
These are the two type of person I usually encounter but for me, it's better to have both skills because not all the time you are learning with the use of the books and not all the time you doesn't know more than only came from the book.
People who have technical knowledge in the analysis is an advantage. Yes, those traders that have less knowledge are likely to lose but it doesn't mean that they shouldn't learn it through experience.
It's good advice, reminding the new traders that the risk they are dealing with is high in trading. But all of those can be learned in process.
Yes we can learn how to read the market and make an analysis by experience, its an edge of a trader. But being successful in this field doesnt rely alone to this. A strategy and how you understand the market are also important, even traders who dont know how to make a technical analysis are able to earn by following their plan and strategy.
Also, another thing is the patience and the faith of the trader is included. There are a lot of traders who are using too many emotions in making a trade like the FOMO, when the market falls immediately sell out and etc. Trading requires different skills, also if we have 7th sense why not in trading.
