That's a common beginner mistake envying the trading success of others and achieving significant results, prompting them to try their luck. I agree with you, it's their learning process that allows them to achieve their goals. Without knowledge and the learning process, it will be extremely difficult to succeed in the trading world. Yes, experience and the right mindset are two key elements that complement each other in trading. They not only look at their trading results, but also the process and lessons learned from each trade, and of course, they evaluate what went wrong with their strategy and how to improve it in the future.
Now matter how much we learn about trading through YouTube channels or practise trading using tools like paper trading, it's an established fact that real knowledge of trading comes only when you start trading with real money. It is also a reality that every new trader face loses in it's early trades. Key takeaway is that always start with small money and initial focus of every trader must be to learn trading. For initial learning, invest as much as you can afford to lose. Once you are confident about trading and have acquired necessary skills, you can jump with more capital to cover your loses and earn profit.
