Is trading really that hard?

what you are saying is valid but at the end of the day real traders never run out of ideas,if you gave up along the way then trading was never meant for you.

Hello, all. I've been trading for 2 years. I'm still figuring out what happened in trading? In times I mostly lose so I need to "zoom in" and see what's exactly happening in trading. Anyone can help?

Nothing comes easy in life until you are the luckiest person in world, so as Forex, you have to work hard and understand that market is risky and according to that we have to develop skills.

I agree. We can’t rely on luck as traders. Sometimes we can get lucky, but what truly matters is skill, knowledge and discipline.

profits in the forex business will indeed be obtained when we already have the maximum ability, there is always a risk that the business is very high, so it must have the maximum capability and always keep trying to learn at any time

Yes trading is really hard , because no one has the capability to predict the real faction of this market with certainly , but if we can unsure exact trading knowledge , money managing skill , risk management approach , reliable support form a credible broker then it can be possible to trade easily.

As a newbie I thought that trading would be hard, but the reality of it was that trading was even harder than what I imagined. That's the thing about imagination - it often falls short of reality.

Trading won't be hard if we'd have self-control and we'll never ever break rules of our trading system just from the beginning of our trading way.
90% is in Your head.
Discipline is key to start making money.
If you'll learn how to stay disciplined for all of your trading way, you'll know when you're ready to start trading with real money and sticking up to your plan, and how not to lose your money.

- Get the necessary knowledge about the market
- start looking for your own system
- start backtesting your system
- learn to tade with 3% for every position
- trying out the demo for couple of weeks or few months
- when you got confidence trading your system, start some micro account to learn how to manage real looses
- if you're doing very well with your system, move to some STP broker and welcome in HELL

Trading isn't that hard, all it requires is to be patience and practice consistently. All the learning stuff is available for those who wishes to learn how to earn money from this trading business.

You knocked the right point actually, in trading a number of traders expect huge income before completing their task! Even I have seen, many traders start their live trading with others trading system, how hurry they are! By the way, Forex trading business is not easy way of money making, so take enough preparations here before investing your real money!

Trading is hard -takes several years to master. If you are smart you demo trade. If you are a "dick head" you live trade using "insights" from courses sold on FF or follow the many losers who post on FF trying to sell courses to guys like you.

I think that trading is hard in terms that it takes a while to learn to trade well - and in the meantime you'll likely be losing money. And it is also hard on the psyche because when you are trading you are sorely responsible for your own decisions. You're not employed by anyone to tell you what to do, you're responsible for yourself and your losses and your profits. Such a responsibility is difficult for some people to handle.

Is learning to trade hard? You bet your ass it is. I've never met anybody who could trade profitably with less than 5 years of experience. My own journey starting around 2011 (with bitcoin) has been a cycle of ups and downs. Learn something new, meet failure, give up for a while. Come back at it. Learn something new. Become depressed, quit. Come back at it...and all the while, you hope and hope that you're on the right track, because almost everybody here, on this forum, is full of shit. The little glints of truth in some posts take critical thinking to recognize, and even those who recognize it may not be able to put it together all the way. I had sworn off trading as utter nonsense before coming back to it and realizing, hey, I might actually know something. I had to convince myself that I wasn't actually being "fooled by randomness", as many have been before. You might be able to learn to trade. But not everybody will be successful. Not everyone is cut out to be a brain surgeon. A detective. A researcher. If you have a lukewarm IQ, lack critical thinking skills, or expect the magic solution to fall into your lap because you are lazy...you can just quit now and save yourself a lot of headache and pain. You need a passion for research, for digging through the dirt and putting the bones together. That's just how it is, because the hardest part of trading isn't trading. It's sorting through the mountain sized landfill that is the product of the blind leading the blind, broker "education", scams which earn your trust and then betray it, and intentional misinformation that is hard. No wannabe trader idiot with a bunch of blinking indicators and crisscrossing lines on their chart will ever show you the way out of the labyrinth.

According to me, the trading can be easier if you have
-proper trading plan ,
real money managing approach ,
knowing the ability how to manage risk ,
real time of using Stop Loss ,
proper trading analysis and much more.

Otherwise not.

True. And even then it will be just manageable, rather than outright easy. Trading is not an easy occupation, regardless of how much knowledge and experience you have.

Actually,in 21 century trading is not hard...in terms of just ''trading'' but trading profitably is another question...

I am pretty sure that by "trading" the original post meant "trading profitably". After all, what's the point of trading if you're not aiming to profit?

The thing is that everybody is "aiming to profit" but most of us can't do that.
