Those which claim that trading is easy can only fall into three categories, those which have never tried and have a misconception of it, those which are trying to get you into the market so you can acquire their services or even scam you, and those which are natural born geniuses and which do indeed find trading to be easy.

However the truth is that by far the majority of the people will find trading to be hard, and it is not difficult to see why this is the case, if we think of trading as a competition then you are competing against millions of people which have the same goal as you, which is to make money in the markets, meaning that only the best have any chance of making any money, while the rest slowly see their capital going down as they do not understand the true nature of the markets.
