This is a YouTube video titled "Trading: More Than Just a Skill, It's a Discipline" containing a monologue or talk from February 17, 2024, discussing the complexity and discipline required in trading, comparing it to other professions that require extensive training. The speaker emphasizes that trading is not simple and requires consistency and dedication.
That's a trade, which, no pun intended, because it's trading, but it is a trade. And I have always been fascinated by people thinking that they could learn a particular strategy and just start trading, and it would be that simple. You could learn how to use a lathe, but you're not a machinist. You know, there's, there's, it's just like anything else, whether you're talking about a machinist, an electrician, a lawyer, or a doctor. Even doctors, they go through three years of school, then they go through as they become an intern, and, you know, they do their residency, and it's a good six to eight years after they've passed the medical school exams and then the boards, before they actually become a practicing physician. So I just always wonder why people think trading is any different. You know, it's difficult to get there, but it is about consistency.
