This is the best way to do if you intend to engage on trading because most of us here do suggest trading when it terms of investment but in reality its not easy as it sounds hence it would really require some knowledge and experience to be profitable with it thats why you need to learn first the basic and gradually learn on every trade you made.
Good advice, and btw, it ain't necessary that you are always going to make profits only on your trades as losses may occur too while doing this risky way of gambling, so it's better to stay away from real money trading and practice it on demo accounts which are available on many websites in order for us to learn how is it done in a better way...
