While without a doubt the lack of knowledge is running rampant in this market as most newbie traders believe that they can obtain profit very easily in a matter of weeks, at the same time I think we are underestimating the difficulty that trading entails, it is very easy to think that you are going to make a lot of money when you trade but even with the right knowledge it is incredibly difficult and that is simply because most people do not really have what it is necessary to become a good trader, you need a certain kind of personality because trading is very counterintuitive and you need to go against your natural tendencies if you wish to make any money in the markets.
