Trading is like more like gambling if...

[BALIK]

you understand first learn than earn most people don't understand but continue losing it's gambling trading is
a skill so first learn and work in demo minimum 2 years than earn it's trading.

That's too long to learn for the demo for 2 years as the minimum of it.

But I respect if that's how long you've learn and that likely assures that you've learn before you get into trading.

Others are thinking they can master it within weeks and a couple of months but it's not that easy.

With that period of how convenient it is for one to learn how to trade, it's best to use real money that they can afford to lose because that pushes them to actually learn how it works.

Frankly, practicing on a demo account for at least 2 year is too long and a waste of time.

You will not learn much from it because it is completely different from real trading. With a demo account, you will not have to face psychological pressure, fear, or greed. This means that when you switch to real trading, you will almost have to relearn everything from scratch.

The demo account should only be used for a short period and only to get familiar with trading execution. This is not the place to learn analysis, risk management or emotional control because it is not real money and everything you experience is simulated. 

If that's what worked for him and realistic, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because it's really possible.

But you're right that it's a long time and probably a waste of time after all. The demo modes can be good for someone who wants to learn but taking that for 2 years.

You might have no plans at all to do that with real money and all you want is to keep on testing.

Besides, to be honest, I do not believe anyone can stay patient trading with a demo account for such a long time.

The only goal for most of us is profit. I do not think anyone can keep doing that without getting bored or losing patience after a while. In fact, many people will be eager to enter the real market as soon as they make a few profitable demo trades. Maintaining trading on a demo account for 2 year is not really realistic.

That's clearly not a realistic option for someone learning to trade. Even those who are self-taught might not stick with it for long. 
Enter the market with your own money, learn, and manage your experience well. What we get from real trading is definitely different from demo accounts. 
Gamblers also wouldn't play demo games unless they had no money.

It's unrealistic to stick with demo trading especially for a long time. Most people will eventually get bored. It's more sensible to learn with demo trading for at least one month to learn and master strategy, psychology and risk management. After that enter the real market with a small amount of capital you can afford to lose, as demo trading is very different from real trading especially in terms of emotions and pressure.

The point of demo trading is to learn. Once you understand the rules, practice immediately with a small amount of money you can afford to lose. Trading without knowledge, especially going all-in, is the same as gambling. Become a good trader by learning first then taking calculated risks to achieve balance. In trading practice and action are the keys to success.

Achieving success through trading is not easy or quickly of course, it is very important for a person to have knowledge about trading. Most people start trading with the hope of making quick money but there are very few people who can trading correctly by using the right knowledge or strategy and survive till the end. However, a persons right knowledge strategy and patience can play a big role in achieving success through trading. It is better for us to leave greed or emotion and start trading with the right knowledge or strategy, as a result of which big losses can be avoided.

I feel like trading itself have been becoming more difficult every now and then and many traders do not have big wins like they usually do in the past making trading less luckrative. That's first. Second, many people prefer to make quick money and it is with such intentions they approach trading from the start making it more difficult for them to take their time and learn the core aspect of trading which could be painstaking but highly beneficial in the long term. Lastly, most those people who are finding trading to be highly demanding ends up becoming content creators and making money through selling of signals and other trends. This is because they have acquired the knowledge and some have the experience but are not disciplined and consistent enough to keep up with its demands.
