Trading is not so difficult as it was told. But the difficult part in trading is when to enter the market and when to Close the market. So when do you think one can buy or sell (enter) the market? Using the candle sticks to predict.
Those who say trading was difficult are right and they are just telling truth and the risk that might put you in regret later.
So, forget whoever told you that trading is easy, we don't make people underestimate the market and trading as well coz whether we like it or not, that seems difficult in real life.
Yes, it was too easy to see how the market flowed, it was too easy to read the market chart but, it was hard to analyze due to the market volatiltiy. You can't make it simple and easy.
