Trading has always been something that people viewed as difficult, at least that's what I thought when I started, but I like the fact that I see a lot more people doing both now.
Trading is always risky, I never claim that trading is easy. Because a professional trader loses to the market many times, there is no guarantee that you will be able to go for every trade. When you can gain a lot of knowledge about trading then it may be easier for you to analyze the market, but you cannot say for sure at that time that you can go for that trade. I think you need to test the market a few times before making each trade, if each of your tests is successful then you can continue your trade.
