Actually trading isn’t something you just go into hoping to double your money overnight. It takes genuine discipline and a willingness to learn and fail before getting better. Most people jump in with false expectations and get burned because they don't even have the basics down. Like you said emotional control and risk management are equally as important as knowing the technical side also having a good mentor or someone knowledgeable to help you makes a great impact and trading is a talent and like any true skill it takes time to master.
