Why do people have different views on trading because they go through different journeys, traders who start when the market is bullish will be very optimistic and think trading can be a career but traders who enter when the market is bearish may think they have to be active to always pay attention to the market, so as not to miss the moment.
However, experience will teach many things, whether they can finally make trading a career or not, but I prefer as an investor trading is difficult for those who have other activities.
Aside from their different market entries that create different outcomes as well, let’s just embrace the reality that not all traders are destined to be successful and profitable. Some may only have eagerness to start trading, but they don’t have the real skills and strategies that a good trader must have. So they end up leaving trading, while these few traders managed to build their careers with trading and earn unlimited profits as much as possible.
I would say patience is the key difference here. Anyone could become a great trader if they have patience and hard work, if they work hard and not give up then there is no reason for anyone to fail at being a great trader. All the people who are not great traders became bad ones only because they give up earlier, and they just want to trade without being ready, and they do not grind hard enough.
If you could give some time to it and make sure that you are properly investing your time and efforts into trading and not just your money then you are going to be a great trader. All humans have exactly what they need to be a great trader, unless you are mentally challenged or anything like that prevents you, then you should be able to do it with enough time and effort.
