From social media, we learn new ideas and from known trading experts, we also know strategies but having our own, we don't just learn but also find the truth about trading. And we found out that many things that haven't been mentioned and untold stories are we gonna experience in actual trading. That is why even if we follow those experts, there is no assurance for us to succeed because in every situation, they are not always there to guide us but it is just us to face alone and make the difficult decision. That is why we have to learn to become independent and accept the challenge because this is the only way to survive and reach our goal.
I quite agree with your view because now we can learn a lot from social media and all we have to do is verify the accuracy of the information. It is true that not everything we follow from experts will be appropriate in trading and it is possible that what they do not explain will be encountered when we are directly involved in trading. But at least the general discussion about trading patterns has become a consideration and it will be discussed by everyone who understands trading.
We can improve our skills in trading by learning many things from other people and there is no need to limit ourselves to the many people who try to provide views on trading. The more we learn, the greater the opportunity to improve our skills and self-study, the better prepared we will be to face trading in any condition.
