Main Idea
Before learning trading, develop the correct mindset. Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Key Points
Do not expect instant wealth
Many beginners see profit screenshots and think trading will make them rich immediately.
This expectation is dangerous.
Trading requires learning
Just as an engineer spends years studying before earning a salary, a trader must spend months learning before expecting consistent profits.
Dedication and patience are essential.
Focus on skill, not money
Beginners often focus only on profits.
Successful traders focus on learning, practice, and discipline.
Trading income is irregular
Some days produce large profits.
Some days produce small profits.
Some days produce losses.
Monthly income cannot be predicted precisely.
Passion for learning is necessary
Without a learning attitude, even years in the market may not lead to profitability.
