When I started trading in my 100 level as a Pharmacy student, technical analysis was one of the things I struggled with the most.
I remember learning Break of Structure back then and arguing with my mentor that it only worked on a few pairs.
Same thing with CHoCH. I would see people explain these concepts so easily, but when I went back to my own charts, it felt completely different.
At some point, I genuinely thought maybe some of these things just didn’t work the way people claimed they did.
But with more screen time, more studying & journaling, more chart work and constantly seeing the same things play out, everything gradually started becoming clearer.
Concepts that once looked complicated became normal. Things I used to overthink started becoming easy to identify.
This is why, if you’re still in your learning phase right now, don’t be too hard on yourself.
Everyone you look up to today once struggled with something they now make look easy.
-Nobody starts trading already understanding everything.
Keep learning. Keep practicing. Keep giving yourself more time with the charts.
One day, you’ll look back at the things confusing you today and wonder why they ever felt so difficult.
It gets easier.
It gets better with time.
