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?

I am not a professional trader, but I have been trading for over 10 years myself, talk to full time traders regularly and read a lot about the subject of investing and trading. What I can tell you is that there will never be a point in your life where you know everything about trading and can just relax without ever having to learn something new. Capital markets are very dynamic and changing all the time. It's not only the prices itself that are changing, but also the traders that are active in the market every single day. Which is why we need to adapt and learn ourselves too. The basic of trading you can learn very quickly, depending on the free time you have, you can learn all the important things in a few weeks. What you can't get so quickly is real life trading experience. It's really important to start trading while you keep learning, just start very small to get a feeling for it. Once you are more comfortable and see that your strategies are working you can increase the money.
