The Mistake Most Make in Online Trading Classes

You’re busy.

You’re watching charts.

You’re reading market news.

You’ve taken 4 online trading classes this month.

And yet… your account isn’t growing.

In fact, you’re stuck in the same cycle — months go by, and you feel like you’re working hard, but there’s no real change.

Welcome to the illusion of progress — where most traders live for years. 

How the Illusion Works

Let’s break it down.

You feel like you’re getting better because:

1. You’re constantly doing “market stuff”
2. You’ve memorized setups
3. You follow multiple “experts” online
4. You can explain terms like ‘liquidity’ and ‘risk-reward’
5. You’ve got a trading journal (that you barely read)

But here’s the brutal truth:

Knowing something isn’t the same as executing it.

And doing a lot isn’t the same as improving.

If you want to actually trade profitably, especially with pure price action using demand and supply, you need to stop chasing more — and start mastering less. 

Most Traders Study Everything Except the Market Itself

We’ve seen this over and over again.

People say they want to learn trading from scratch, but what they end up doing is collecting concepts like Pokémon cards:

1. Trend lines
2. Indicators
3. Chart patterns
4. Divergences
5. Fibonacci
6. RSI + MACD + Bollinger Band cocktail
7. Breakout tricks

They’re overwhelmed.

Exhausted.

And still losing.

Because the truth is, they’re not actually learning how price moves.

They’re memorizing theories that never align in live markets.

That’s why at Chart Monks, our share market trading course teaches you one thing:

Read the price. Not the tool.

No indicators.

No guessing.

Just raw market behavior — using demand and supply. 

Real Skill = Doing One Thing Extremely Well

Let’s say you decide to become a chef.

You don’t try to learn 100 dishes at once.

You start with a knife. A pan. A few ingredients.

You burn things. You repeat. You develop intuition.

Trading is no different.

But most traders skip that.

They want to win before they’ve learned to wait.

They want consistency without putting in deep reps.

So instead of focusing on price behavior in one zone…

They bounce between 10 different methods.

They “back test” setups they never actually mastered.

And worst of all — they confuse all that movement with real growth. 

The Dangerous Loop of Fake Progress

Here’s what it looks like in real life:

1. You join a few online trading classes
2. You learn about price action (kind of)
3. You try it live — no results
4. You blame the strategy
5. You jump to another method
6. Repeat for 6–18 months

At the end of it all?

You’re not better. You’re just tired.

Most traders don’t quit because of losses.

They quit because they realize they’re running in circles — fast. 

What Growth in Trading Actually Looks Like

It’s quiet.

It’s repetitive.

And at first… it feels like nothing is happening.

Real growth means:

1. You take fewer trades, but better ones
2. You delete indicators, not add them
3. You stop second-guessing your zones
4. You can see where big players step in
5. You don’t need someone else to validate your analysis

You don’t get that from watching 100 videos.

You get that from watching the price.

One zone. One timeframe. One deep understanding at a time.

The Chart Monks Method: Focus > Fluff

Our entire philosophy is built on one idea:

Price doesn’t lie. People just don’t know how to read it.

When we built the Chart Monks share market trading course, we made a decision:

1. No indicators
2. No trend lines
3. No sugarcoating
4. No 50 setups

We only teach what the market actually respects — demand and supply.

You learn how to mark true zones of intent.

You learn how to wait — like a sniper.

And most importantly, you learn to stop doing more, and start doing less — better.

Because until you unlearn your addiction to activity, you’ll never become the trader you want to be. 

The Real Work Most People Avoid

Everyone wants the trade.

No one wants to wait.

No one wants repetition.

No one wants to lose 10 times and still show up on the 11th with a clear head.

But that’s what this game is.

Trading isn’t about constant wins.

It’s about consistent behavior — in the face of random outcomes.

Most traders are looking for intensity.

But success comes from boring discipline. 

“But I Need to Keep Learning!”

Sure. But depth beats variety.

Here’s how to learn trading from scratch the right way:

1. Pick one clean method (we suggest demand/supply)
2. Understand why price moves from certain areas
3. Mark zones — and watch how price behaves at them
4. Stop adding indicators when you’re confused — start observing
5. Build a small database of setups you truly understand
6. Trade them. Refine them. Repeat.

You don’t need new tools.

You need new eyes. 

So Ask Yourself This...

If you’ve been trading for months (or years) and still feel stuck, pause and ask:

1. Am I actually getting better, or just staying busy?
2. Do I understand what price is doing, or just what an indicator says?
3. Am I committed to one method, or just collecting ideas?
4. Can I watch charts for 2 hours without taking a trade?
5. Do I trust my own zones, or am I still waiting for “confirmation” from someone else?

Your answers will tell you everything.

Final Thoughts: Stop Moving. Start Improving.

If there’s one truth in trading, it’s this:

The market doesn’t care how much you know. It responds to how well you act.

And action doesn’t mean more trades.

It means better decisions — based on actual price behavior.

At Chart Monks, we help you stop faking progress.

We help you strip away noise.

We help you trade the way pros do — clear, simple, deadly precise.

So if you’re ready to stop running in circles…

If you’re ready to finally learn trading from scratch — for real…

We’re here when you’re done wasting time.
