In the absence of experience or knowledge, I think it's too risky to do. Unless you are accompanied by a professional to teach you how to trade. Because if you do it alone without any experience or knowledge about trading and you buy or sell currencies without thinking. That will be very risky, especially if you buy a large amount to invest.
Indeed, the long term is more convincing and easier to do for a beginner, but if it is done without knowledge, you will find it difficult to run later, unless you pay a professional to invest your funds. Knowledge to start trading is very necessary, so that you do not have trouble when starting it yourself. It would be better if you were accompanied by people who already have the ability and expertise in this trading field. Because from there you can learn how and the trading process to achieve profit (profit) and manage existing and future risks.
From there you will also gain experience. By studying, starting with a small capital first. Don't be afraid to ask questions, because someone will definitely help you. Don't take the risk of trading right away without knowledge and experience. Because if it's not because of luck, you will suffer losses if you start in that way.
If you are looking for a way to be accompanied by the veterans, there are thankfully now places that literally does this. How? Well there are copy trading places where there are people who trade and make a lot of money from it, and you can follow up how they did in the last day, last week, last month and last year, and if a person is top 10 in all of that, they are usually a great trader, so you leave your money to the exchange, telling it to do exactly what that trader does, copy trading as in copy his trading, and you could make money like him.
You will learn there that life is not that simple, even accompanied by a great trader, if you do not know why he does what he does and what his mindset is, you could see a drop and get out while dude could stay in and make money later on. Long story short you should always know what you are doing even if there is a very good trader with you.
