An actual experience in trading is a good start for us to learn about the simple fundamentals and basics of trading. Aside from having the courage of learning about trading, we must also try it for it will be a helpful tool for us to do better in this field.
The way a lot of you talk about experience makes me wonder if you actually indeed started trading with just experience and learned from it which I can totally disagree with you it is not possible. You cannot become a Doctor or a Lawyer with experience as you have to learn first. It is after learning and as you start practicing all that you have learned gradually that experience then comes to play and you keep getting better and getting professional at what you do.
Learning in trading must be an infinite process hence we cannot definite what to learn and how long that process may go on. We need to trade and learn simultaneously so that we could improve our trading performances. These things may sound like the need of professional traders but unfortunately these are the things should be followed from the beginning days of gambling.
Only those traders who are all focusing on continuous learning while trading, find chances to achieve in their trading career. Other may find some profits but definitely not up to the levels of professional's.
