I spoke to a tutor who teaches trading, and he said for his lectures, he teaches for an extended period of nine months for anyone who wants to learn trading from him. Please I like to read the personal experience of some traders here, how long did it take you to learn to trade profitably, and what was the hardest thing to learn? did it take you weeks, months or years? Do you think that trading can be learnt well in a short time like three weeks for a quick trader? Can someone who is a proffesional trader just go straight to the point pointing out what is needed to make a successful trader to a newbie to learn quickly?

The hardest part is the other newbies who want to learn but whose minds are set on making money right from the start. That's why they do it when others study, but they don't have the heart to learn; they just have an idea, not really the knowledge of trading, and they want to immediately try the actual trade, although there is nothing wrong with it.

That's why the dominant thing is the desire to get an immediate income. So, the result is an immediate loss of the capital used in trading assets. Have you ever lost without gaining true knowledge of your trading gains? So, having knowledge of trading does not mean that you will learn it immediately. You can say that you are learning about trading when you are able to keep yourself earning from trading every day that you do trading activity.

However, the effect of social media is quite large in influencing the interest of new traders which is quite large. Advertisements made by exchange companies can also influence this interest. but it's true what you say, what is ingrained in beginner thinking is to get short profits in trading. in fact they are thinking quickly about making day trading their source of income.
actually it doesn't matter what the purpose is. but the most important thing is to fill yourself first with adequate skills and knowledge. the problem of experience will come by itself as we trade more and more. but skills and knowledge must of course be acquired first before making a decision to trade.
