Newbie traders who experience some kind of losses at the early stage of their life but still continue in trading know better how trading can be, and because of the early experience that they have had, they are at a position of becoming much better traders than those that enjoyed easy profit at the beginning which can be misleading. What do you think, let us discuss?
Learning nothing and going straight to tradings is a bad idea. The first step should always be to study the market. How it works at which time. Learn the basics and gather knowledge as much as you can. Then the second step is to try it out. You should always start with a very small amount, even if you have enough assets to start large tradings. Apply your knowledge and try to follow the rules. That way, you can also get the knowledge on how to control your emotions. This is a very important part. Loss or profits, doesn't matter, just follow the rules. It's getting hard? Try to follow some signals available on the internet and compare your calculations.
Next is to slightly increase your trading value. If one can keep this up, they can become a pro for sure. It's all about patience and following the rules and strategy.
One more thing I want to add is that newbies always choose future tradings first with higher leverage. Then they get liquidated. My advice is to start with DCA, then try out spot trading. If you can predict the market good, then move to future trading. And the high risk is still there.
The usual mistakes majority of the traders are about expectations wherein they thought that trading is simple and they thought that they can just buy at lows and sell at highs to make profit without prior knowledge, mastering the basic and also enough experiences. It really takes time to become a profitable trader, so my advice is not to invest big amount of money in your 1st investment if you are a beginner trader. Start small and build it slowly, get a lot of experiences because for sure you will do a lot of newbie mistakes. The reason why only few traders are becoming profitable and successful is because they do not focus improving their skills as a trader. The greatest asset that we have is time, the opportunities in the market is unlimited so we can still find opportunities even we miss a lot of good trades.
By investing in yourself, you can easily increase your capital. My suggestion for the new traders out there is they should find first a legit system that can lessen their curve of learning. After you learned the basics like reading a chart, plotting support and resistance, identifying the trend and be familiar with some chart patterns. Then it is the best time for you to make your 1st investment. Do not also feel any negative emotions if you have consecutive losses. It's normal, use it as fuel for you to be a profitable trader. Remember that it takes time to be a consistent profitable trader.
