A trader explains why you can't skip algebra and trigonometry before calculus, using math as an analogy for building trading skills. Master the basics first, or you'll hit a wall when things get complex.

Maybe on my way to calculus. Yeah, I kind of skipped trigonometry and algebra. Wow. Calculus is so freaking hard. Oh, wait a minute. If you got algebra and trig, calculus is not that tough. If you struggle with algebra, calculus can be rough. So again, if you skip ahead or you don't attend to every level as you go, making sure that you do have a good, deep understanding, you do develop the skills that you need. You pick up the range of skills, not just placing trades, and you work your way up to a level of proficiency. Trading is not that tough. It does not have to be a big emotional ride.
