Most people, new traders and old are mostly talking about how difficult trading can be, the emphasis on the difficulty has discouraged some people from wanting to even consider becoming a trader.
Do you think non traders exaggerate about the difficulties in trading or it is hyped too much by people who are already traders? Or do you think it is not a hype, that trading is actually something very difficult?
Traders who are truthful and experienced would tell you what you really need to know about trading. It's actually difficult and not easy at all. The challenge most traders have is strategy development, some traders take about a year or two to develop a strategy then after making some progress they fall into losses and probably try to come up with a new trading strategy. This is where doubt starts cripping in and some traders might even give up along the line.
