Actually, I don't look at trading and I have no idea about how trading works. but before you go into trading I hope you're aware of the risk that are involved in trading? However if it is your first time of being in this crypto space I will advice you start  from crypto investment like bitcoin investment so that your first appearance in this crypto space will not be a regret to you, because this trading aspect you're talking about requires enough knowledge before you could think of getting started. isn't what you just wake up one day and decide to start trading, no it never works like that so just make sure you're doing the right thing this is the only advice I have for you.

When it comes trading learning to have understanding is the principal, the mistakes some beginners when they come across trading is that they only learn briefly believing they know about trading is enough to make successful trade. With these little understanding beginners have acquired in trading, they make mistakes of investing with the amount they can't afford to lose.

Learning to have understanding in trading is just like a road map, when one lacks understanding about trading it is believed that cam be lose along the line not knowing his/her left and right.

Learning is the main thing every beginner needs in trading, it will prevent lot of loses and mismanagement of fund in trading. Trading is risky on it own and it will be a big risk for anyone to go into trading without having any interest to learn.

If the newbie doesn't want to learn before they venture into trading, they will learn the hard way after losing everything they go into the market with, because some of them think it's as easy as it appears, and some prefer to learn with experience, which makes them skip some important fields that they could have covered if they had paid attention in acquiring trading knowledge, but no doubt practice makes them learn easy, but that's after you have lost a significant amount.

Without analyzing the market very well then there will be kind of difficulties with archiving what ever goal you want to archive because it has become that without analyzing you won't be able to do trade because you will only act blindly and the chart is suppose to be a guideline so that things don't fall out of place and that is why no matter how good that trader is he or she most go back to the chat because of how important it is, and the moment consistency is applicable in the market then they will be able to become perfect in that craft and the only way that can be archived is through consistency. And I will even like it when traders actually do competition ot will encourage people to want to trade the more. Everything is also about how dedicated we are about what we love doing.

If any newbie skips the learning process then he would probably land himself in a dangerous situation because trading is something that require learnt experience to actually guide you through and ofcourse that newbie must be patience enough to learn consciously the whole aspect of trading and all the pattern to read and understand the concept that covers the field. So many newbie think it's all about buying when value and selling when it's high but a whole lot of competition involved.

In fact, the first mistake of a new trader is that he starts trading with real money without knowing trading very well, so he only loses his capital.
For a new trader, demo trading is a good thing while learning trading, because of this he can gain general experience in trading, but just gaining general knowledge is not enough, to be successful in trading, you must have deep knowledge about trading. Because in trading, everything can be lost because of a very small mistake, that is why if you are not perfect in trading, you cannot achieve success in trading, and to become perfect in trading, you must always have a tendency to learn. And you must always practice, remember that practice makes perfect. That is, the more you learn in trading, the more knowledge you will gain, so you can also achieve success in trading.

1. Start Small and Manage Risks
Begin with a small amount of money that you can afford to lose. Don’t jump in with all your savings, as trading is inherently risky. Use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses on each trade.

2. Educate Yourself
Learn the Basics: Understand concepts like support/resistance levels, market trends, candlestick patterns, and risk/reward ratios.
Online Resources: Websites like Investopedia, BabyPips (for forex), or YouTube channels on trading can be invaluable for beginners.
Books: Look for classics like "Trading for a Living" by Dr. Alexander Elder or "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham (more investing-focused).

3. Avoid Overtrading
It’s tempting to trade frequently, but overtrading can lead to unnecessary losses. Be patient and wait for clear setups that align with your strategy.

4. Focus on One Market at a Time
Whether it’s forex, stocks, or crypto, start with a single market to avoid spreading yourself too thin. This allows you to focus and gain deeper insights into its behavior.

5. Use a Demo Account
Before committing real money, practice on a demo account to familiarize yourself with trading platforms and test strategies in a risk-free environment.

6. Develop a Strategy
Don’t trade based on emotions or gut feelings. Have a plan that defines:

When to enter a trade.
When to exit (take profit or cut losses).
How much to risk per trade.
7. Stay Updated and Adapt
Markets evolve, and so should you. Follow financial news and updates that can impact your chosen market.

8. Beware of Pitfalls
Avoid blindly following “gurus” or social media advice.
Steer clear of high-leverage trading until you’re more experienced.
Don’t let FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) push you into trades.
9. Seek Mentorship or Join Communities
Engage with more experienced traders in forums, Discord groups, or other communities. Their insights can shorten your learning curve.

As a beginner, it's not easy at all, because it's the most difficult stage in life.
But when it comes to trading, the first thing to do as a beginner is to trade with what you can afford to lose, because trading is a game of emotions, and your ability to control your emotions defines if you are going to be successful or not.
So if you can trade with what you can afford to lose, your emotions will definitely be in check and you wouldn't have to make any rash or stupid decision that may compel you to loss money, so trading with what you can afford to lose is very much important if you want to be successful as a trader.
Another thing you really need to pay close attention to is to know when to stay off the market, this is one particular skill most trader even veterans traders lack, if you can attain all this skill as a trader, then I am convince that you are good to go.

The last thing a beginner trader needs is to take high risk because if he try that, with few losses he will be out of cash and possibly hate trading. Instead of taking high risk, a beginner should even practice demo trading which is paper trading that is available in most exchanges. This will enable the beginner understand how the market works and practice whater strategy he chooses to use for the trading. It will be a disastrous mistake for the trader to be carried away by the desire for quick money so much that they will ignore the need to practice.

There is no special secret to trading, the more you research the market, the more you will understand how a coin in the market performs at any given time. Trading is not something that anyone can learn overnight. However, I can give this advice to newbies that in a new situation, without understanding trading or market analysis very well, you should never go into leverage trading such as margin trading or futures trading because crypto is very volatile. If someone enters a coin with high leverage without properly predicting what the price of the coin will be after 1 hour, then his fund can be liquidated quickly, which can be a very bad experience for new traders.

By avoiding leverage trading and trading with small amounts in spot trading, he will understand how the market behaves and he will gradually enjoy trading.

Yes, that's right, maintaining consistency in trading is also very important besides analysis, so with consistency a trader will also be more confident in how to organize, determine how to sell so that it remains safe even though it doesn't make much profit, because a trader who applies their consistency mostly takes only a little profit with the note that it does not change the spirit of his trading work.

Yes, by learning little by little about the right and safe trading formula, traders will be smarter in organizing and selling their merchandise and I am sure that unconsciously the trader will feel happy because he gets good and satisfying results.

There is no way that anyone will be able to do trading with the knowledge on analysis because that is part of the criteria that will help you on this journey, when you start trading profit is not a mind set at all because at first you might not get anything based on they are just starting and to avoid lots of money lose coaches or mentors will advise beginners to use demo account at least it will help them reduce a lot of risk losing there money and it's like a new system.

And consistency matters a lot because the more you are more consistent the more you are doing well because when you don't trade more often you will be left out because a lot of people are always given up easily when they are suppose to be trading and getting more experience because that is like one of the most important thing they need.

The more you are ready to learn the more you are ready to do wonders that is what is making this whole thing very sweet and you will face less challenges.

Well, beginners should stay away from doing trading but they can still learn trading by watching good videos by famous traders and or by reading trading related books, and then they can start testing the market with demo accounts. Although, I never suggest anyone to use demo accounts but still when it comes to beginners who aren't financially good or who are students then in such case it's better to begin with demo account.

After learning principles of trading, a beginner should do trades with real money, I know the new trader will most probably lose money in his/her trading journey but from those losses he/she will learn that how he/she could have saved himself/herself from those losses by controlling his/her emotions during trading.

Yeah, definitely every Newbie needs to learn various things about crypto trading. Because it consists of a high volatility index. A little mistake can cause you serious hassle. So that's why I often give this advice to new traders that before jumping into trading, you should know about every bad touch of trading that can cause you to lose. In other words, first of all, you should be well aware of all the risks of trading that can harm you, for example, leverage, greed, market dynamics, etc.
 
According to my theory, newbies should emphasize HODL rather than sub-trading. Because there is less risk in it, and if someone wants to do bill trading, then Spot is a better option. Along with this, it is necessary to follow a few more points. i.e., Always follow the trend, choose a low amount for trade, and prefer minimal leverages as compared to high leverages.

Analysis is very important when ever anyone have decided to want to trade and aside the analysis the mindset have to be built on another different level and the more we venture into ot the more we learn because the more experience you get the more you learn and if you are someone that actually follow experience trader you can even do better but we just have to be ready to learn because there are people that have intrest but are not ready to learn. And we need to know the importance of knowing and when thay conviction is settled the only thing that will be remaining is to know how to also control your emotions. Traders will take more risks even more than gamblers, because if you want to make it big then you have to be ready to take that risk because the risk is what brings the money. And you just have to develop good skills from making from the market if not you trade and you won't get someone good in return.

learning various things about crypto trading from experts can be a solution for beginners who want to trade in the crypto market but have no basic knowledge about it. they can watch videos on youtube which are usually shared for free, or pay for online classes about crypto trading, and from there beginners can learn slowly while reading how to trade well and effectively in the crypto market.

having no experience or method and immediately trading in the crypto market can be suicide for beginners. that's why beginners must solidify their basics before they jump into the crypto trading market.

Of course, in the world of trade there must be an analysis to solve the problem, meaning that as a beginner trader you must be able to get profit by applying the consistency of the selling value in the market, namely by seeing and comparing the selling and buying prices of products around you. And do not forget that as a beginner trader you must also be ready to take high risks in trading activities, you must be ready to accept all the risks because competition between traders is increasing and it is not easy for beginners to be good at managing and processing good strategies in running it.

My advice if you want to carry out trading activities, prioritize beginners, learn about trading and the methods of experts who are willing to guide you when trading in the crypto market.

The bottom line: trading in the crypto market is high risk, let alone beginners, those with experience and experience in trading can get trapped and experience losses.

If this is your first time getting involved in the world of crypto, don't do it straight away, learn from an expert, you have to study carefully what type of crypto you want to trade, Next, understand the current market conditions and the many things you need to learn before you go any further, so that you don't suffer real losses.

Trading with emotions is one area that kills a lot of traders because their decision will be very biased, and the result will be for them to be losing more money, and another type of trade, which I will also advise beginners not to get involved in, is revenge trading, that type of trade which they will want to chase their loss and try to recover what they have lost in the previous trade, which they will now have to go in with higher capital in order to minimise profit or increase their risk level so that the ROI will be higher; such type of trade also ruins traders.

DCA method is the best investment strategy in Bitcoin investment, because if an investor wants to invest away from the pressure of short-term fluctuations and volatility of the market, he must use DCA. And for this, he must have a discretionary income and a steady cash flow. And to prolong DCA, it is very important to keep an emergency fund and reserve fund ready along with discretionary income. And in this way, if an investor holds DCA for 10 years or more, he can profit well from Bitcoin investment, but this is not guaranteed. Because Bitcoin never gives an investor 100% guarantee of profit. So after all, if an investor continues DCA continuously for 10 years, it Only has the "potential" to give good results.
