Good Morning Ivano, The physical part of trading is Simple, yes it is. It simple to click buy and sell button to make a profit. However, trading is complex and challenging to make profits consistently week to week, month to month, year to year AND to get rich enough in certain amount time to make the clicking worthwhile for you and your family. Trading is simple, if you bet/risk your entire account with big size on 1-3 trades and accept the big win or complete failure.
My guess is that someone who says that trading is easy should have a fat account full of proven records of successful trades.
Jack Schwager allegedly demands a good track record from his Market Wizards and have turned down candidates who didn't check out. I don't recall any of them saying trading is easy.
You're cutting straight through the nonsense, and I respect that. The people who look down on Uber drivers or DoorDash workers are often the same ones who got lucky breaks and think they’re self-made. The truth? Hustling, grinding, and making moves—no matter the job—is the backbone of ambition. It’s not about where you start; it’s about where you’re headed. Some chase degrees to fulfill institutional checklists, others carve their own paths—both can lead to success, but one isn’t superior to the other. The ones talking down on hardworking people usually never had to build something from scratch. They think wealth is a personality trait rather than a byproduct of strategy and perseverance. Keep moving smart. Big dreams don’t need permission—they need action.
