Am open to learn, if there is any point am missing please your opinion is needed.
All the point you listed down here are quite valid no doubt, but you failed clarify some of them like never trade with a borrowed capital, most newbies don't actually knows how terrible it is to trade with a borrowed money, because it puts you under an unnecessary pressure, and trading requires patience, but if your capital is a borrowed money, you wouldn't be that patience enough to wait for the right set-up, just because you want to meet up, and you don't want to default on your loan repayment, and that will cost you some significant loss, if you can't be patient when trading.
In Believe that knowledge is very much important, so the thing that I feel like is the best as a newbie is to stay away from trading completely, until you are knowledgeable enough to know how to navigate your way in the market and come out profitable, if not, stay off trading, because the losses will be too much for you to handle.
