How long to learn trading?

[boyptc]

Trading is an on going process and it's not enough to just get into it for a few weeks. That's why you see people telling that you have to trust the process because that's how it really is, you need to get into that point that you'll need to accept that three weeks or four won't just be enough to wholly understand it.

But we've got different talents given to us, so if you're a fast learner and you can make things quickly adopted then that's a talent that you'd like to have because that's how usually it is.

Actually, it's not a matter of how long it takes you to master trading, but what you do during the process, this is more important in my opinion.
many people take a year to learn this method, to understand the ins and outs of trading.

Sometimes people take a year of studying until they "feel the results."
Many also say that after 6 months they understand everything. However, if I myself study the same thing continuously for 2 - 5 hours every day. Continue to learn trading knowledge on various platforms, repeat the same thing every day. Until I understand the details. So his time is spent studying, not trading. I don't focus on money, because usually if people focus on money, they don't focus on trading.

Develop skills first, don't think about money first.
Remember, fear of money never wins. Because this affects your profits later.

This happens in different ways for different people, there are people who are able to independently master new material very well, of course, for such people it will not make much difference whether they study the subject of interest on their own or not. But there are those who can stop at elementary points and without outside help they will not be able to move further, or will master this subject relatively poorly.

I tend to think that the average person will get better results if they work with a tutor than if they study the material on their own. It also depends on how high-quality material they can find for study. I think that if you want, you can find almost everything that might be interesting to you.

Depends on the person of course, I personally prefer to learn it by myself without a tutor but if you think that others would have easier time with a tutor then you could be right, I am not going to argue against that. My point was that you are learning from someone else one way or another, if you have a mentor then that mentor is explaining to you how you should trade and what things mean, but if you are "learning by yourself" then you might be watching a youtube video of someone, isn't that also learning from someone else too?

I would guess that in either case you are learning from someone else anyway, so I would rather find the material that I like to find and then study that instead of being limited by some mentor who would teach only his way that worked for him, because what may have worked for someone may not work for me at all.

It's better to have no limitations on your studying because it would result with different opinions and you will have the chance to pick whichever fits you better, after finding that one which fits you and your character the best then you will start trying to build something that could make some return and could be a greater profit in the end for you.

You are right on which each of us does have that different kind of acts and different kind of learning progress whether is through our nature or something that we are really that fast learners.We cant really be able to deny that there are really indeed people who are really that fast when it comes on learning things and there are ones who are slow no matter how long they've been doing trading. There's no way that we could really be able to rush things up on learning trading on which there are indeed people who do tend to make shortcuts but ending up on failure because there's no such way or method that you could really be able to fasten up the process on which learning trading is never been simple in the first place. You would really be needing that sufficient time and effort for you to be able to have a good grasps into it or else then you would really be definitely to sustain yourself within this market.

It could be depending whether it would be taking several months, a year or a couple of years on which it would really be that varying on how fast a certain person would be able to know or learn about it.
It is really just that there would really be that those people who are fast learners and there are ones which are slow. The important thing on here is that you dont really that
make yourself in a rush on learning things because this is where mistakes will commonly be starting on.

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.

If he said you need to learn for 9 months, it is actually his personal assumption. IMO, there is no exact time about how long we need to learn trading. We even will never stop learning trading forever because there will be always something new in trading. However, for learning about the basic things in trading, I don't think it must take 9 months. For people who can learn fast, I think he only need for 1-2 weeks only.

There are many sites we can learn how to trade without having any difficulties.

Of course, it is not difficult to get the sources of learning trading. We can learn from some threads in this forum and we can google to get the articles/videos from some sites. But make sure we learn it from trusted sites, don't take the articles from untrusted sites.

[Promocodeudo]

Op, I don't know much about trading but I know for sure that individual learning skills differ, the tutor saying that he teaches trading for a period of nine months is his personal teaching standard but it doesn't mean that a person can not learn trading within a short period time, what every interested learner needs, is concentration and determination, I believe that there are helpful materials online that helps people in developing their trading skills, with the little knowledge I have, trading is a practical thing, if you don know it, there is no magic that's why a tutor is needed to guild you through on what to do, I have heard people mention successful traders, I think that a successful trader targets the time to trade in other to make a profit, his timing may be wrong sometimes that's what makes him a human.

It's been a good 2 years for me and I am still considering myself a beginner:) I think it's more about the daily amount of time spent to learn and practice trading.

It is important to understand the basic principles and start applying them, understand when you need to enter a trade, understand the importance of stop losses, only then can you get results. If everything happens at random, then it is not much different from gambling. You can understand the basic principles relatively quickly, but the result will only be possible if the trader is disciplined and strictly follows all the rules of trading.

That's right, everyone has a different level of understanding, so each person will not have the same time. Someone can understand in 1 year, while I personally, to this day, am still often far from the analysis I made. In fact, they often experience panic selling. So, don't limit yourself because there are those who can master analysis in less than 1 year, but it's best to keep learning forever so that you understand

I also confirmed it. Learning to trade does not depend on the length of time taught by the tutor but depends on the fluid analysis received when learning from the tutor.
If his brain is capable of understanding how to trade, YouTube and articles explaining how to trade can be a tutor for him.
Once he has acquired the basic knowledge of how to trade, people with good skills will quickly know the type of trading that suits their abilities.

Exactly every tutor as is on way of teaching i think before you understand you will spend a month before you understand everything in trading but some professional teach newbies just in 3 weeks and they will understand everything but he depends on how you pick things early because everyone has different brain, trading is good but because of is high risk many people are scared to take risk and don't know much about trading because am only focusing on investment, because he minimized my risk because they said you should only invest what you can afford to lose in trading am just learning trading gradually on YouTube but am not deeply with it yet, if someone is ready to learn how to trade and he focuses on it very well I think in just 2 to 3 weeks he should have understood everything on trading and he can stay on without any mentor that will guide him again he can start taking is on risk without any helper because he should have understood everything if he is serious in that three weeks, the reminder on trading is invest what you can afford to lose since he has big risk and that is how he has huge profit.

Honestly the learning process of trading has no limit even after becoming a profitable trader, personally I am a self taught trader after spending many years studying the chart I haven't reach my desire goal and I am motivated to continue with the learning process yet because of mixed results i.e profitable and incurred losses as well, I believe once the trader started to earn profit consistently then such a trader would concentrate more on trading while using limited time to add or gain more knowledge, however the lifespan to becoming a profitable trader would depend on fast the trader was able to apply and implement everything learnt into live trading thus it's more like individual rate of understanding of how  to trade.

Having technical knowledge about the market and trading is not hard nor take much time. Having experience is the most important thing that a trader needs. Sometimes a  trader fails to be a professional after a few years of practice whereas some people master this profession after a few months of trading. I am also not an expert in this field so I can not say how some people do that but I think they figure out some patterns and how to use them to increase their success rate. Every other trader can also see that same pattern but the strategy of using it remains a mystery and no one shares their methods publicly.

If you don't have knowledge about trending then you must consult a teacher who knows well about the market. If you can't observe the market well, your investment will never be successful and you will never make money. That is why you need to first learn about trading and then it will be best for you to move towards the market. If you have a prior understanding of trading, you will definitely be able to analyze the market and have some idea of when market volatility will start and end. Also, since you are going to consult an experienced teacher, you will get a good amount of knowledge and skills from him if he teaches you well. That's why you better know about crypto first and later you can invest or trade in the market to get profit. So you should first of all gain knowledge about the market so that you never face loss and risk when you invest.

It is common that people want to learn but do they really? I mean I have seen so many people who claimed that they want to learn but then I have seen a lot of people who ended up being a little bit different on the long run. I think it would be smarter to end up with something that is a little bit different in the end and that's the point.

If you say you want to learn but you do not do anything that proves that you want to learn then you are not really trying to learn and do not want it enough. If you really want to learn then you will, doesn't matter how long it takes, you will be a great trader eventually, but the fact is simple that you are not going to end up learning it in the end at all, most just want to get rich quicker than that.

I agree with the masulum post above because it is in accordance with the prevailing reality and what I have done since I first got involved in trading. Several people who had been close and studied trading together with several tutors decided not to continue because for them trading was a difficult job to do.
The application of strategies and dancing patterns depends on each individual's abilities.

Traders who are still active have the same background as most. The reason is, they also previously learned before experiencing success with the trading they pursued as long as they determined one type they wanted to master, such as spot trading, which I chose over other types of trading.

Everyone has a different understanding of learning something, especially trading which is so complicated, of course we have to keep learning and don't assume that we are good at everything. Because the market is very difficult to predict depending on the moment and developing issues, every trade is a lesson.

The essence of trading is that we are taught to enjoy the whole process, step by step, day by day, month by month, and year by year. We have to go through everything and we have to enjoy it so we can be disciplined, control our emotions and be consistent. We can get all of this so that our dreams in trading come true, and make us responsible traders.

It really depends on the individual and how quickly they can grasp new things, you know? Learning how to trade is just the beginning, being profitable is a whole different ball game. You can learn a strategy in a month or two, but that doesn't guarantee profitability. It's all about psychology, discipline, and risk management. Those are the keys to long-term success in the market. Understanding the psychology of trading is all about self-awareness, and that's what takes many people years to master. But if you're eager and ready to learn, I think you can become profitable within 6 months to a year. Keep at it

The eagerness and the passion to learn in trading, are not enough to turn you into a profitable trader. Yes, you can learn quickly but the challenge here is not just acquiring learning, but to consistently experience and master trading skills and working strategies. The fact that trading is hard particularly for beginner traders, then it’s a must to practice a lot in trading even through demo account, and when you think you’re ready to conquer live trading, then mastery and expertise in trading should be observed.

Learning in trading is not as easy as it is, that once you master your trades, you are bound to make good profits. To be honest, it takes years to master trading and become profitable in it, while losing at a consistent basis may happen the moment you start trading until you decide to stay trading.

[retreat]

The length of time a person takes to learn trading varies depending on the person's analysis, intelligence, knowledge, perseverance, and many other factors. There are people who can start trading immediately in 1 month and get more profit than people who study for months. There are also those who have studied trading for 1 year and have not been able to get good profits.
For myself, I was able to trade and get profits from my trading after 3 months of studying Ichimoku Kinko Hyo on forex. But my friend who studied it for 1 month could get more profit than my trading for 3 months. So I think the length of time people can trade varies and we cannot determine how long someone can trade directly because learning trading is not like learning mathematics.

Everyone has a different understanding of learning something, especially trading which is so complicated, of course we have to keep learning and don't assume that we are good at everything. Because the market is very difficult to predict depending on the moment and developing issues, every trade is a lesson.

Apart from being considered a lesson in each trade, it can also be considered an effort to achieve income after we learn more about trading. Because in any case, everyone does not have to consider themselves the smartest person, especially in things that are very difficult to predict, such as trading. Because every job requires basic knowledge that must be acquired from the start by everyone who wants to do that one day for themselves.

The essence of trading is that we are taught to enjoy the whole process, step by step, day by day, month by month, and year by year. We have to go through everything and we have to enjoy it so we can be disciplined, control our emotions and be consistent. We can get all of this so that our dreams in trading come true, and make us responsible traders.

I only took two points from what you said, namely consistency and discipline because with those two things alone I think it will be easier for everyone to go through their own trading process. Be it in a matter of days, weeks or months because without discipline in trading, achieving profits will also be very difficult to obtain, especially since profits in trading are very uncertain. Apart from that, it is consistent in carrying it out for a long period, because this will show how tough and patient a trader is in enjoying the process. Both when he suffers a loss and when he has made a profit from trading.

My point was that your experience doesn't guarantee that you will become an expert trader though experience is the most crucial thing a trader needs to have. Without experience your knowledge about trading and the market won't help you much. I agree with your second statement too it is important to focus on one goal. Some traders keep changing their markets if they get any negative results, though their approach should be to analyze the mistake and learn from it.
