Trading is also about self-study, self-discipline, self-learning, self-experiences,... You all can see that trading is not something you can learn within a short period of time. It requires a lot of efforts, though, you can achieve what you want after putting hard-work.
If he wants to be a successful trader, he needs to spend his time learning to trade and learn the other things. If he can not do that, maybe trading is not for him, and we can suggest he search for the other sources to make money. But he should know that no matter what works or jobs that we did if we don't learn anything, we can not make money like the others, and we will fail in our jobs. So rather than we complain that we are not a success right now, we need to learn more so we will have the chance to make money.
