There are two types of people who learn trading, there are those who already have a source of income and are looking for way to multiple it so they choose trading as an option for them, while their others without any source of income but just learning to trade for the sake of knowledge and hoping that one day they will be able to make enough capital to invest into trading.
What is the use of learning to trade for the sake of knowledge when you know you don’t have the funds to start trading because trading requires funds and without funds there is nothing to trade. Seeking knowledge when you don’t have the capital to start trading can be a waste of time because certain things requires immediate practice and without money it won’t be possible, although it is not all bad to start learning ahead if you are certain in a few weeks or months your capital will be ready.
How would you advise a newbie trader without any source of income to gather together money that they can use in trading?
It won’t be easy but when you’re determined to trade and you have already started learning or learned how to trade then you must have thought of a way to make money for trading, if you haven’t then i think you havve to look for physical means of earning money otherwise i don’t see any other way you can since trading requires start up capital before one can start earning from it
Exclude this options that they have to get a job and save up money because if it was so easy to get a good paying job, some of them may not even be trading.
What will you advise, would you advise them that at a level when they are sure of their knowledge should try to convince other people they know to give them some money as investment or convince strangers to invest in them?
Getting a job doesn’t have to be a good paying one, it can be a job that pays little but with fhe determination to trade he should be able to save up for a while. If not I don’t see how he wants to make money other than this way.
Trading is very risky no matter how well you think you understand it profit is never guaranteed so convincing people to give you money to invest in trading is not ideal. To invest you should only invest money you can afford to lose because trading is not guaranteed and one can easily run at loss.
