The qualifications are indeed important, those who are willing to learn and risk are the one that will
have a greater chance of succeeding in this market. It's tough to compete with other traders,
you are risking your money each time you place your entry, but with good understanding and with skills
that you keep enhancing, the chance is good.
Just don't move with hypes alone, but always make sure to have good information before you ride.
I was willing to learn but I wasn't willing to risk that much since I didn't have that much money and I didn't want to lose any neither. It took me years but I managed to be better at trading, which is really a tough thing to do for me but I still manage to do it. What makes risking so much better is the fact that you could literally risk so much money but in the end you could basically just focus on learning from your mistakes if you risk much and then lose much.
This is why I believe that there is a good time to risk and there is a bad time to risk. If you are about to learn from your mistakes and the market is not bad (because if market is bad then we all lose) then you could actually profit from it in the long term. Whatever you do in life, make sure that you are about to either profit from it or you learn from it, never let anything be just a simple loss.
