so by just knowing yourself you will start making money ???????????------------> knowing yourself enables you to decide what your risk tolerance is. helps you recognise the trading road you want to travel on so that you have a higher probability of attaining your goals/objectives.

or buy writing codes you start making money ????????????---------------------> did anyone suggest this? I have tried to find such a suggestion but I could not. Maybe you can point it out?

Have something meaningful to add , do so. People may agree/disagree with you based on their experiences. If you do not have anything meaningful to add remember "Silence is golden", esp for those who think their sarcasm is nothing short of profound wisdom. The added benefit(to you) will be you wont make a spectacle of yourself .
