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.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
