What advice would you give a newbie that started trading? Let's say he has decided to leave his comfort zone and get his hands on the it.
Are there pitfalls to avoid? Where is the best place to get started with? Any materials to help grasp the concept faster? Do you mind giving hints on what helped you scale through in your early beginning.
Usually, newcomers come for unreasonable reasons, such as seeing their friends making huge profits from trading activities. So, they also want to try their luck in this activity. Beginners usually come with too much haste, and based on my experience when I first started trading, I can only suggest 2 things. First, trade with small money. And second, don't be too hasty, learn a lot about the project first before trading.
True. This is what often happens to beginners, most of them start trading because they follow suit. They see their friends making a profit from trading and then they want to start trading without adequate knowledge, especially with the market like today, beginners are very easily tempted by profits but they have no basis in trading. So what happens is they rush, plus trading with large capital ends up resulting in losses.
In fact, to be successful in Trading, every beginner must first know the purpose of trading and how the system works, then carry out trading activities with small capital so that they can learn while getting real trading experience. The most terrible thing is having the wrong mindset and thinking that trading is easy, even though trading is difficult and complicated. Because your mindset determines your trading fate in the future.
In addition, controlling psychology, greed, and doubt in trading is also the most important thing in trading. Fear destroys your ability to trade. Greed destroys your ability to make the right decisions. Doubt destroys your belief in yourself and your system.
