Knowledge will give birth to learning that is far more directed because with knowledge we can continue to practice skills. Finding true knowledge about trading might be achieved if they know professional trading and most people who share trading ways in video do not fully have a level of provisionality about trading. For this reason, there is a need for control and analysis regarding video -based learning because not all videos are distributed have similarities when someone is involved in real trade.
Without hard work we will not get anything because of speaking of consistency in finding complete sources of knowledge. Trading can be learned but people have difficulty finding accurate sources, unless they dare to pay mentors that are so experienced in trading.
I'm not saying it's wrong, but in my opinion, It is learning that can make someone know that can direct someone to the right path. By studying someone can become educated, they can know a lot, but regarding skills, they need to practice their knowledge and try and continue to develop it. In trading, knowledge and practice sometimes do not align. Price volatility and changing trends mean traders have to adapt their strategies to market conditions, but in general the strategies learned can help.

When people intend to study trading, the steps that need to be taken on how to improve skills and not be advised to rely completely on copying trading even though some people consider this method to be easier. But back as you talked about that we put in money and follow fully a copy of trading sometimes it will not give any results. A separate analysis will be far more convincing and even though our loss can evaluate the cause and if we fully follow the trading patterns of people, in my opinion it is quite disadvantaged because our skills will never increase.
I do not recommend copy trading to anyone despite the fact that some expert traders can give them returns. There is no guarantee they can get the profits we expect, so that option is too risky. Instead of copy trading, I agree with you that learning and trading independently is much better. Knowledge and experience can increase because of this, so a trader will not be dependent on other people.
Copy traders are not traders, they only entrust their budget to other traders who are more knowledgeable than them. The risk of loss and potential profit depends greatly on how the trader and strategy trades, but they are never responsible for losses even though the budget owner must share in the profits earned.
