Kardec Trader warns that trading takes two or three years of mistakes and mental struggle to learn. The real battle is psychological: you versus you. Most people aren't prepared for the extreme lows.
Two to three years.
I think trading is extremely hard. I always tell people, right? I don't recommend it either. I have, like, family members like, hey, should I trade? I'm like, honestly, if you want to go through hell for two, three years and you want to stick through it, then go for it. But I don't recommend it. If I was to buy here and I was to sell there, I would make this much. So how hard can it be? But people don't understand. That's them looking at the trade after it happened. While the trade happens, everything starts getting poured out and people go through this, like, spiritual journey, if you want to call it in. That two years or three years of learning, all these mistakes and issues they come across, and most people don't make it because of that. It's not even you versus the markets. It's you versus you. And I tell people, if you're not mentally capable enough to deal with it, I don't recommend you trade. It's not as great as people make it seem like. It's really, really hard, really difficult, and you're going to go through really extreme low points.
