Though am a better trader now, but I still thred with caution, the best way for newbie to navigate their way in the market is to buy and hold, then sell when the price goes up.
When it comes to future market, newbie should stay off because it's for experience traders, even if you run a poll of people to tell of their experience in trading in this forum, %80 of people will rule out trading as a no go area based on their terrible experience while trading.
So newbie, stay of trading futures if you know nothing about technical analysis or fundamental analysis for not to be ruined.
Trading is not as easy as other people think. And yes, trading can ruin us if we are not equipped with proper knowledge and skills. There are a lot of things that you need to consider when you wanted to start trading. You should start doing some research and study about it so you can have better grasp on what trading really is. Because from my experience, trading is not a newbie friendly and so major losses are expected if you are just a beginner and only have little experience. Another thing is that before you venture into trading, you should be financially prepared because it's either you loss or gain from it, and it's better to prepare yourself in worse case scenarios. Additionally, you must make sure that the money you will use in trading will not affect your allocated funds for more important things because this is where major problems arise. I mean we do not want to be in debt, right? so you have to use a separate funding for it to avoid such. Lastly, have your exit plan because this would help you in the long run.
