Forget about everything that “trading gurus” have told you; if you expect trading to be easy, you will quit after a few failures. On the other hand, setting correct expectations and preparing your self psychologically will help you bear through the hardest part of your trading career – the beginning.

That is why I always say that the technical aspects of trading are significant. But without, for example, correct psychology, absolutely any profitable trading system will be useless. I could teach you technical analysis relatively fast. However, you would still fail without proper psychological preparation, mentorship, and many other non-technical aspects of trading. 

I stick to the concept of understanding and explaining almost any market movement. There are no coincidences in the market, every price movement has a reason. Yes, it is a bit more difficult than “one simple structure”; however, that is something that will enable you to have a fighting chance at the financial markets. Everything else is just a waste of time.
