As a self thought market 'would be' participant, participating in the market especially if you are on your own and cannot rely from others, the best and only way to do is of course - do it on your own. And there is an advantage to that, you can make your own trade ideas and the responsibility to your trading. And as I gathered from my readings from great traders views, doing trading on your own is the best way to have a success in the market. But the disadvantage on this premise, is the process, it will take long to learn and master trading the market, it will be a long process of trial and error. And it all depends on how dedicated you are, how far can you absorb the learning, the knowledge you have, the commitment, and some more, these are factors to be considered.
That's how 'perplex' the market is, confusion, frustration. But if you have the passion in the market, the dedication to learn by yourself, even though it will take time, the skills you learned are worth it. Involving in the market takes time, plus the money, because when you trade, it will take time to recoup your losses, possibly years, that's why lots of would be traders are not having success in the market.
And you have some money intended for losing, because you will learn how to lose, if you don't, that's where you will fail in the market that will lead you to quit participating in the market. Emotional temperament is likewise important when you trade the market, because lack of rationale thinking or judgment in the market is one of the main killer for traders. This is the main problem most or all of traders faces in their struggle. If you lack maturity, very impulsive, lack of control, no discipline, it will frustrate our participation in the market.
Participation in the market is not really for all, it's only for the select few, though everybody or anyone can trade the market, but if you want to make money in the market, or if you will treat it as a business or a day's job, 'impossibility' is at hand, because only few succeeded.
