Trading is most times profitable and sometimes challenging to traders, but it can ruin you just as gambling if you don't know how before venturing into it, I have had a handful of terrible experience while trading and I discovered that it can return you to square one in terms of your finances if precautions is not taken.
On similar note, I have also withnessed some persons whom had engaged itself on several sectors that f trading without stability and no profit counts. Some even struggles to realize its ventured capital on a target to quit and try another but yet ignorant to learn from other mistakes done as a fact of unknowledgeable to the trading but because they could see some person's progressing on the section of business they just think it is required of investing.
Instead of them to inquire to acquire skillful knowledges on how the market goes, they just want to imitate an ongoing investor and just get stocked the market with the necessary products while doesn't know the basics in the market.
I take such as a caused of envyness and jealousy since they couldn't go or the experienced investors the enquiries for acquirances.
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.
@ Op, literally you didn't consider if the sector of hodling after buying and aim to sell when the price is increased is depended if the venture is either by stock trading (conventional trading) or digital trading (online trading).
If stock trading then goodies are liable to run out of expirations while online trading is basically aimed to hodl while price is increased to a benefitted volume without considering expirations but there could be a bias via the volatility of digit tradings.
Hence... The best way for newbies to navigate on trades is venturing with a minimum amount so as to exercise its abilities to a fair playing in the market and make counts of experiences with what can be tolerated if there could be a marketing negative effects.
Times goes when you advance your capitals volumes so as to earn more considering the values on making profits.
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
There is absolutely no state period of time that is specifically safe for experienced and inexperienced investors rather everyone is to play skillfully to take chances of whatever nature that is come.
The future is tomorrow that has no ending so I would say all levels of investors is expected to always put tomorrow in considerations for effective hold to conciousness because your readiness is a gang way for barrier escape.
So newbie, stay of trading futures if you know nothing about technical analysis or fundamental analysis for not to be ruined.
If newbies have to stay off from future trading then there is apparently no upcoming investors (newbies) because the nature of markets changes according to the nature of its volatility maybe by inflations and deflations also considering the volume of demands.
There are all uncertained so newbies are expected to trade with conciousness as a coursed of being inexperienced to fit in tolerate the bias or gaining the balance positions to beat the biased nature.
