There are two types of people who learn trading, there are those who already have a source of income and are looking for way to multiple it so they choose trading as an option for them, while their others without any source of income but just learning to trade for the sake of knowledge and hoping that one day they will be able to make enough capital to invest into trading.
How would you advise a newbie trader without any source of income to gather together money that they can use in trading?
Exclude this options that they have to get a job and save up money because if it was so easy to get a good paying job, some of them may not even be trading.
What will you advise, would you advise them that at a level when they are sure of their knowledge should try to convince other people they know to give them some money as investment or convince strangers to invest in them?
Let me be frank with you now, we can't exclude the safety of people securing a job before engaging in trading, this is the only way they can calm their nerves doing it. Many would say that they can do it, but after many years, have they done it? That is part of the issue. Trading would have been better in terms of the money people gain and their consistency in it if they were not so desperate about it, and this desperation is as a result of the lack of a quality job they can fall back on if the money they are trading with was lost. This will always cause emotion for traders and no matter how you think you are good, once the emotion creeps in, then your trading account is technically finished because sooner or later, you will hit the margin call and will be stopped soon after. That is why the psychological part of trading must first be taken care of before trading if you have the opportunity, you can't just remove that from it.
However, if your view is to be enforced, then it could be good that they at least engage in some menial jobs still, there is no alternative to that. What helped me in trading today was my persistence in depositing one way or the other and I am happy to tell you that I would have blown more than 100 trading accounts before I became a consistent earner. If one has no job or a means of replenishing the trading account to continue learning, do you think it will be easy? Regardless, such a person may still engage in some posting for bonus activities of some brokers and try demo contests to try and gain funds. If they work for him, then it is still a good bargain.
