Where to Begin

Recommended Posts

Hey guys im a young kid who got interested in trading while doing my High School stock market challenge. I recently Invested a small amount of money into MO and have made a decent return. Now with more money saved up i'd like to learn the different types of trading, whether its long-term, day trading, or forex markets. Where do you guys advise I should begin? I tried downloading thinkorswim and used paper money but the market always seems to be delayed by 20 minutes so day trading on that is not realistic. Just wondering how you guys started out and how I learn to make smarter investments.

 

Thanks

The Think or Swim paper account is delayed, but the live money one is not, I use that and follow a premium twitter account that basically guides my trading everyday. So far this year I am up about 62% on my money. My advise is to find an expert and monitor what they use. Another thing I do is something called the ichimoku cloud, I suggest taking a look at that because it is a great tool use.

Options... I agree because the OP is very young and he mine as well try to grow his capital rapidly. From what I can tell so far, options provide the best reward for the amount of capital you have to risk. (Low capital = still potential for large rewards)

You can start with attending the school of pips at babypips.com; learn about forex market and how it works; also learn how to use fundamental and technical analysis to analyse the market; after that you can look for a good broker and pitch up with them.

Not sure where you're located. But here in London there are several traders who put on free training events.

 

I'm going to this one next Saturday: Tradersopenday.com

 

Check online, I know tradingacademy.com puts on quite a few events around the UK and USA as well.

 

Good way to get the basics down quickly.

You can begin by learning the most basic aspect of trading from babypip’s school of pipsology; concentrate more on learning the technical and fundamental aspect of forex market. After that you can trade demo if you so wish, before venturing into the real market.

No, i didn't start. But i need to start immediately. Please help me guys .

Articles, it's a good landing page to start, had a wide range article suit your needs.

if you want to start learning from the very beginning, and advance as your reading advancing, babypips has a wide range teaching material.

School of Pipsology | Learn Forex Trading it has structured course outline.

while some traders more prefer an informative way of learning, instead of reading they prefer to watch video tutorial, you can find many in youtube, but most of them are too long to watch, some video are over 2 hours duration in single link, found this one well informed video, and more interactive video tutorial, you can select which one you need to watch, based on your knowledge level, each video only at average 3-5 minute duration, you may check at : Advanced Forex Trading Video Tutorials

well, if you're new with trading, first thing invest your time with learning, and spend less while you just starting, and you'll surely came at day of earning.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
