Okay so when you say stock trading what you mean is investing with the plan / hope that it's going to up in value.
I come from the land of computer science. It was 1 year ago when I started looking into how financial markets work.
It wasn't because I didn't understand it, it was just because it did not interest me. The financial freedom that interested me was on the other end of a mid-tier position writing computer code.
When I say that I would describe the world of stock trading as "retarded", in no way am I exaggerating. The people that aren't full retard are you just your average run of the mill middle america kind of retarded.
Somebody's going to read this and think it sounds like a little professor on the autism spectrum calling this "trivially complex". No, it's not like that. Stock trading is just plain and simply retarded.
Here is the experience of watching a video on how to trade stocks
>Do you like FREE MONEY? *audio clipping*
>*cash register sound effect*
>well, what if I TOLD YOU that you can make EVEN MORE MONEY *oh my gawd* sound effect*
>enter the parabolic SAR indicator
>*inception bwam sound*
>first, go to TradingView. Or whichever broker you use. All brokers are effectively the same minus the locale. I don't say this nor do I understand it, but it's true
>next, click the indicators tab. Okay, thank you. This is how this modern web GUI with 7 buttons work. You click the button that says indicators
>next, click the button

That's it. The end.
In no way is this hyperbole.
What does "parabolic SAR" mean. How does this work.
Who gives a fuck. That's the answer.
