How long to learn trading?
I spoke to a tutor who teaches trading, and he said for his lectures, he teaches for an extended period of nine months for anyone who wants to learn trading from him. Please I like to read the personal experience of some traders here, how long did it take you to learn to trade profitably, and what was the hardest thing to learn? did it take you weeks, months or years? Do you think that trading can be learnt well in a short time like three weeks for a quick trader? Can someone who is a proffesional trader just go straight to the point pointing out what is needed to make a successful trader to a newbie to learn quickly?
I’ve learn the basic indicators for almost a year with trading and after that, i continue to learn and to be exact it took me 3 years to gain my confidence about trading. Learning is not easy because in the middle you’ll get discourage because of your losses but you have to overcome it and continue chasing for your dreams. Newbies or beginners have to do their best to learn how to trade, they should not rush and they should be more confident about their knowledge in trading, if you think you are still not confident make sure to learn again.
The fact is true – successful traders take months to years to succeed. It is not as easy as beginners imagine when they want to start trading – even 9 months is not necessarily enough to equip themselves with analytical knowledge and understand the market as a whole.
Learning how to trade will take some weeks. But learning how to use trading to make profit can take months or a year or more, although learning the strategies can not take more than weeks but learning how to control emotions can take months.
I learn trading myself and it took me some days, but I lost money to trading very well. I learn more and more and now better than before and it takes me more than a year.
One thing I know about trading is to never use the amount of money that you can not afford to lose to trade.
