In learning trading we can read books, watch videos and follow what seniors share in forums or telegroups.
We can do everything to have knowledge about trading. Always practice making analysis, formulating strategies and keep controlling emotions. because emotional control is very important when trading.
We can do everything that you said. Read books, watch videos and follow our mentors, but if we aren't learning from our experience, it's pretty much useless.
Like what they are saying. "Experience is the best teacher." and that can be applied on trading because I believe that the more experience you have, the better the decisions you can make in your future trades. Just look at those traders out there who are spending years trading and trading, and even though they aren't earning for years, they are still continuing to trade because they are gaining experience.
For me, experience matters in trading. Controlling your emotions? Formulating Strategies? You can learn all of them as long as you have the experience because you will know what to do from there.
