How long to learn trading?

[justdimin]

There is no fixed time limit to learn trading it is up to you. We have posted here that they are aware of fat trading and we know what trading is all about. There is no significant time limit but some low time will be required to understand the candle parts. The more memory you have, the less time it will take you to learn. Also it depends on your practice, the more you practice the more you will become proficient at this. Trading education on your desire. There is no time limit for your education here.

Yes, it depends only on the individual if how long he can master it. I think what important is we shouldn't rush but we should genuinely read and understand it properly because the more we rush, our efforts of fake learning how to trade will only be a waste of time as we can still lose. I know losing is still inevitable for a well-educated trader but at least it doesn't come too often.

I don't know what you mean by fat trading and low time. Are those just a typo? Also the candle part in trading is only one part but there is more than it. So, you shouldn't highlight it alone. Practicing allows us to familiarize things but too much of it are I think useless since real trades are still different or the market can still move differently each time we trade.

It's important to know that trading is dynamic and broad so it definitely may to have an exact time frame for which you would become very proficient at it. There are varying personalities out there with different schedule flexibility, learning pace and interest drive. All this put together can determine to a great extent how long it will take you to learn and master the act of trading across all trading variations.

Trading have varying facets and your choice of what facet of trading you want to be skilled in also have an effect on how long it will take you to learn and get good at it. It's one thing to learn and another to master the act and become profitable. As a beginner an average of six months should be enough to get most of the basics but this time frame isn't binding as some could take longer and the other evens lesser, but on the advanced scale I don't think you ever stop learning, at the advanced stage rather you keep improving and getting even better with the act of trading. This is not all but I think just to stay within the confined of this discussion this is the much I could say for now.

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.

Yes, it's true that it takes a long time to be able to understand the world of trading, not just haphazardly. To be able to understand and understand trading so that it can be profitable, of course you have to have clear knowledge so that it doesn't cause harm, but there will definitely be losses, but if you trade with clear knowledge, it might be Minimize the risk of loss, learn everything about trading so you can predict correctly and make a profit because basically no one wants to experience a loss even though there will definitely be a loss. Few people have the desire to learn to understand a field they want to work in.

If you have limited money, it's best not to try trading, especially without the slightest knowledge, but if you have more money or enough money, there's no harm in trying trading, but with the caveat that it must be accompanied by clear knowledge, don't just predict the movement of indicators, if you just guess it won't be able to provide a profit but it will only waste your money if you use the theory only luck can provide a profit even if it is right, if it is wrong then you yourself will feel the loss

But look, what is the reality now, the people who enter trading are those who are still new and do not have any knowledge of the world of trading.
Even last year in my country it was viral with a Futures trading platform that gave a lot of losses to beginners who tried to trade without knowledge and only relied on their luck.

Yups, in the end, they will waste money for nothing.
Beginners really need to be educated on how to trade properly and profitably,
not just tempted by advertisements that appear as if trading can provide a lot of money in just a moment.

Learning to trade is not easy, it takes time and effort, and it takes a clear mind to absorb every incoming knowledge and a strong desire to continue learning.
I started learning from the beginning when I entered this forum and until now also still learning.

You said it right; it seems that the theory is different from the actual, if that's what you mean. Because of my experience, the lesson is easy, but applying what has been studied is the difficult part, and it cannot be easily understood.

That's why those who have experience in actual trade are better able to understand compared to those who are just studying trading.
Then 2 years passed before I had a deep understanding of reading the trading chart, or s graph, to be honest, because it is not easy to understand based on what I have been through here.

Trading is not a course to be honest. Yes you can learn the basics of trading or how to read the market etc. But if you ask how to trade? Then it can be learnt by experience only. I will suggest you a basic roadmap. Learn the initial pre requisite for trading. Learn about analysing charts and patterns of coins. When you are done with this, then go for demo trading with dummy money. Once you are confident with this, then switch for real money and trade with minimising the risk.

The trick is that people usually lose patience with it, so if you could keep your emotions in check and do not make any mistakes, then you should be able to do it without a trouble. I understand that it may not be all that troublesome, but if you could do it then you should be able to make some profit with it. I get that it may not be all that simple, but it could be done and you could make some returns without a trouble.

I believe that you are going to end up with something that will benefit you one way or another, and could be something that will definitely benefit you. I hope that people could end up with a return that would be a lot more questionable if they start too quickly, so they should give it some time.

Actually, even though we can control what is done, things like this still have a big risk where we know that when we try to trade but without being accompanied by knowledge or skills that we have no matter how strong we are in restraining emotions (good self-control) it will not guarantee because trading clearly has to have some techniques and at least basic knowledge that we must master considering that this is not gambling by guessing and relying on instinct.

The concept of trading even though it looks simple but it is much more difficult than imagined so when someone who still hasn't mastered this then don't try to be in trading because it can make you miserable and ultimately blame crypto as a scam as it always happens for some people today.

Often newbie traders concentrate on the skills you can learn by the book, like technical analysis, however in order to execute your strategy as you should you need way more than that.

With being able to perform under pressure as one of the key skills a trader must have, as it is easy to do everything right when you are paper trading or using a demo account, but when you have years of savings riding on the market this is not easy at all, and only those that can remain calm under those circumstances can become good traders.

Not a course but the process of learning can be seen as a course. I have watch and downloaded many tutorials from Udemy and was even given a certificate of enrollment. How you understand trading depends on:

• Who tought you the trading
• The techniques
• How fast the learner reciprocate the learning
• How good you the learner is able to transform the basic into real trading.

People skip the last part but you can't understand trading if you don't put your test into real trading.

When you are done with this, then go for demo trading with dummy money. Once you are confident with this, then switch for real money and trade with minimising the risk.

Demo trading are scams, it doesn't prepare newbies for the real task ahead. Everyone that try demo trading win all the time but when it comes real trading, they lost everything. Instead of going for demo, it's better to utilize paper trading, it's like doing real trading but instead of dummy live, it's going to be on real time. Trading live has that feature.

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?

Actually, in my opinion, learning trading doesn't need to be measured whether it takes a long time or not, because it depends on the level of understanding that you have to pay attention to. If it's a little slow, it means you need to be patient, whereas if it's fast and able to understand everything related to techniques, and methods and being able to implement them at a certain time, it means it won't take long. Personally, I don't really demand myself to understand quickly even though it can be done, because usually I prefer to study 1 technique until I really understand not only the theory but also its application. And I didn't learn all the techniques, I only studied them according to my needs and could be applied at that time.

They can learn yeah but if we talk about between learning in a short period of time compared to spending a couple of months, you can see a huge difference with them. Maybe we could say it depends on the person but ideally, if we want to learn more, then must expect that it will take a longer time than usual. Better to know that there is no instant learning in trading and must remember that this is trading and we have a bigger chance to earn more if we have more experience and knowledge.

More precisely in any learning it depends on the accuracy and focus of the individual in doing something, it will provide learning that can be more effective and efficient in learning something including in learning trading, yes it is subjective and according to his own abilities in understanding learning.

What? Do you learn one by one? I am a little curious how much time you need in learning one technique until you master it? You have a good method for consuming learning.

Learning never ends. It all depends on your determination and how well you put what you do into practice.  I'm not saying I'm perfect yet but I use different tactics to hone my strategy in trading. Like the Range Sniper I use sometimes for prediction where price could reach in the next seven days. Sometimes I win, while sometimes I lose. These will make me look into what mistake I made to miss my target

You're right that it depends on the person, because sometimes people have the desire to learn and at the beginning are full of enthusiasm but give up halfway through because they are not ready for what they face, whether it's the time frame or the material about what they are learning. In my opinion, there are not many people who are confident in their choices at the beginning, as I mentioned above, not stopping in the middle of the journey is an example of people who do not have a sense of determination. only certain people are able to hold their principles well and finish it to the end with satisfying results.

If we talk about learning, there is nothing instant, not only about trading, but in other things it's the same before starting something, it's good to learn and understand what we are going to do, with the right knowledge and actions. it will certainly reduce the risk of bad. about it. If doing something without knowledge is tantamount to lying, especially in trading if we predict wrong then of course there will be losses.

Basically all work is not easy, because everyone needs to learn slowly and keep doing it so that we can get used to what we do so that things that at first seem so difficult become easier due to the habit of doing them. That's why I don't think that trading is an easy job, because there are probably a lot of people who have the capital to trade. But not all of them can read trading charts correctly so some people still have to deepen this knowledge in order to get luck when trading, because cash alone will not be enough to make a profit if there is still very little knowledge about trading.

Of course there are many things that need to be prepared before starting trading. We need to try it if we understand the basics, perhaps with a little capital. Trading on a demo account will indeed be easy to do because we don't think about the risk of losing, but it will be very different if we do it with the savings we have saved. Remaining calm in various trading situations is something that can be done by those who are experts in trading. Because they are very experienced in this field, even a beginner can be like them if he understands it well.

This will take a lot of time, even if someone is more capable of learning quickly, because in trading, in addition to theoretical knowledge, practical skills are very important. In any case, this is very individual, someone can make a good profit after a year of study and practice, but someone will never be able to make good money in trading. The difficult thing about this work is that no one can guarantee that you will be able to make money in trading, you can study for several years, but in the end you will not achieve the desired result.

For us to be granded in trading and have the kind of skill we are looking for, it is very important for us to learn the skill very well so that we don't start what we can not finish.Trading is very difficult to achieve but some persons may not know since everyone can talk and ague about trading even when they have never trade or put there funds in trading before. There are the fundamentals we can learn in trading and sometimes we might not even know what we are supposed to learn first or know before learning other things. For us to make money in the skill, we have to have good understanding in the market.

Of course, we must always learn whatever the level we reach now. To know varied tactics or strategies that can be effective to apply in any market condition, it requires an endless learning. The market situation always changes, we need more varied ways to deal with the situation. But of course, during learning, we must experience both losses and wins. You are the same with me, sometimes I can success but sometimes fail. However, there should be always a lesson to get on every experience we got.
 
Yes, we need to learn the mistakes. We need to evaluate the tactic/strategy. We may use the wrong strategy at a certain market situation. So, it leads to a loss. In the future, we must be more careful to adjust the strategy to use.
