OP, you are right on this topic, what I want to add is that, as a newbie or someone new to the market should only trade with the money that he can afford to lose, this will help him control his emotions.
yes, it should be done. using the money within limits they can afford to lose. so the allocation for trading is of course no need to force ourselves to put all our salary into trading. Even in the beginning, our chances of losing are quite large. So always start with caution. Don't expect too much or easy profits in trading.
and one more thing, never make trading your career. or a job for you to make money. what happens may be the opposite, we will spend money on trading.
people are sometimes embarrassed to admit they are beginners. and they want to learn independently through videos or learning from other sources.
None of that will be a problem when traders get positive input for the development of their trading skills. Sometimes you also need to watch professional traders in determining trading positions. or even in selecting assets. that is the most basic thing that traders must master.
those who are unable to progress in their trading, ultimately decide to quit trading because it is difficult to learn. Some end up following trading channels so they follow the signals given. whether it works or not is the trader who can judge its effectiveness. I think when traders experience several mistakes and losses they will finally realize their own mistakes.
Maybe the experience you describe did happen to me and several other traders. When I first started trading spots, it looked easy. but the hardest part is choosing assets. what happens is that we are interested in the top profit and top loss coins on the exchange. and only rely on feelings to determine assets. it's a hard start to get off the ground if there's no one to direct. Therefore, more people will run to platforms that can provide information and of course, ways and strategies for us to trade.
and for those who are beginners, trying a demo account is quite important. even though the results will not match reality when using a real account. We can try many things related to trading, as well as getting to know the exchange interface.
