Yes, trading is not just a fun outing to make easy money, it is a long journey of learning, patience, mistakes and learning until you gain the knowledge and experience that qualifies you to be a good trader.
The first step in trading is learning, many people make mistakes and start trading immediately without knowledge because they think trading is easy, it is just buying at a low price and selling at a higher price, when they start receiving successive losses they realize their mistake and realize that trading is much deeper and broader than that.
