My First Advice To Beginner Traders

[Zigabel]

Personally I define Trading as the exchange of value for value this is because at the end of the day we trade small money to get bigger money and they are both valued at a price. Before I proceed any further it's important to know that sometimes our knowledge outside this forum may not equate our ranks here so  that doesn't mean quality information cannot be gotten from a low ranked person on this forum, some of us are good at what we do outside here. That been said let's quickly dalve dip into the subject matter.

Before you consider going into trading fully as a full time hustle or a hustle on the side, I advise you put the following to consideration first, I will be considering just two points and they are as follows:
1. Mindset.
2. Learning.

MINDSET:
This has a lot to do with the information you got earlier about trading that has caught your interest enough to want to go into trading. There are so many wrong perceptions about trading out there, one of which is, you get rich quick as soon as you venture in to trading. This has to be the height of falsehood in trading. It's true you can get Rich trading no doubts, but then you will have to put in some work as the wealth doesn't come suddenly or as soon as you start trading, so one should take off such mindset, have a change of such mind set if you did have such before as you may be disappointed sooner than later. Trading is not a Ponzi scheme, Rather just like every others, it's a skill and requires time to acquire after which you can then make a fortune out of it. This leads us to our next and last point.

LEARNING:
It's very important to know that your success in trading depends so much on how much information and education you have about trading before and while you are still trading. As a beginner trader, invest so much in learning before thinking of earning, this is very important. Get good quality education and information about trading, read books, take courses online or offline and make sure to get every good information possible about trading as this will greatly influence your success in your trading journey. Understand that you are acquiring a skill and that means it requires some time to gain mastery of the skill, so dedicate the necessary time required to Learning just as you do in college and soon you will be glad you did as you will be enjoying the results of learning first. Learn before you earn  so you don't have to spend all your earnings learning.

Okay, these two lines make me interested in reading it in detail. Sometimes, I ignore it when I see tutorial-type posts from newbies. There is a reason behind it. Most of them come into this forum and post AI-generated content to get some quick merits to rank their profile. It's nice to see someone genuinely interested in writing these things from themselves.

one of which is, you get rich quick as soon as you venture in to trading. This has to be the height of falsehood in trading. It's true you can get Rich trading no doubts, but then you will have to put in some work as the wealth doesn't come suddenly or as soon as you start trading, so one should take off such mindset, have a change of such mind set if you did have such before as you may be disappointed sooner than later.

Hehe, this is one hundred percent real, bro. Not only trading but people have this idea about most of the online activities. People think it's easy to make money online, and everyone can do it. People think it's easy to make money from gambling, from Fiverr, from upwork without skills. I am one who makes some pocket money from the internet and people ask me why I don't teach them? They think it's super easy.

I usually don't recommend trading for beginners because it's risky. Trading requires experience, and if you're not experienced, you could lose more money than you invest. Sometimes, beginners are drawn to trading because they think it will make them rich, but this can be based on misinformation. I often see beginners looking at market charts without understanding them.
Experienced traders became experts after making many losses and having a stable source of income. So, if you're a beginner without experience and enough money, it's risky to start trading.
It would be advisable to learn, practice with virtual accounts, and only invest money you can afford to lose. Make sure you understand the markets before diving in, as rushing in without knowledge and financial stability can lead to big losses.

[Kara3]

You spoke about mindset towards trading, do you know that you can still have the right mindset and still not be a profitable trader, trading is just too complicated, that's why buying and hodl is mostly recommend for beginners.

Even experience traders find it difficult to be profitable base on the fact that they don't have the right knowledge of trading or they don't have the right trading system. I was telling a friend of mine last week that if you want to be profitable in trading, don't ever go for trades below 1:3 reward ratio, because in trading you mostly get losses, while you manage your risk properly, but when you trade nothing less than 1:3 reward ratio, any good trades will definitely wipes out all your losses.

To me in trading having the right knowledge is the key.

[hugeblack]

Even after knowing these two reasons, you will not be a professional in trading. It is like saying to a student: If you want to succeed, stay up all night and read hard. It is true that they are good advice and will lead you to success, but they are general and cannot be benefited from. To help in success in trading requires the person to know the basics of analysis. Technically, then build a long-term investment strategy. With more experience and experience, you can make trading a part-time job
This if we can say trading is good for newbie which is not.

LEARNING:
It's very important to know that your success in trading depends so much on how much information and education you have about trading before and while you are still trading. As a beginner trader, invest so much in learning before thinking of earning, this is very important. Get good quality education and information about trading, read books, take courses online or offline and make sure to get every good information possible about trading as this will greatly influence your success in your trading journey.

I don't consider myself a trader but in my little experience, I don't find any kind of courses, books and other similar material to be helpful in trading. Even less so when it comes to trading altcoins because of the heavy manipulation that dominates the altcoin market (commonly known as pump and dumps).

The only thing that you need and is useful is going to be experience and understanding of HOW the market works. This knowledge is only acquired if you spend time studying the market, looking at the charts and making trades. You need to know what makes a shitcoin pump and when will the pump gives its place to a dump so that you can make wise decisions for your entry and exit strategies.
Usually these "courses" you mention teach you some nonsense about technical analysis which is completely useless in altcoin market. None of them help you speculate the pump and dump market.

Good read! The advise and settings of your thread is easy to understand and read. Going through advises as this thread, will enlighten newbies not to lose everything in trading. Newbies who want to multiply their earning via trading get bitten in the ass. We must learn to earn, if not our mistake can skyrocket. Our mistakes are best known by us. An expert can try to solve it. Yet, it's not to be compared to the way we would have solved it ourselves, if we had the skills. Successful traders, lose out huge on trading due to unaware mistakes, ignorant. People excell differently in trading. That is, they can make money in trading and think of themselves as successful, but learnt nothing in trading and would always fail in some aspect of trading. Unless, they take classes or courses, they may not understand why trading is getting difficult to them in some aspect or extent. Achieving this, learning about trading, a trader must adhere to the first advise. Greed! Avoilding sweet syndrome coming from the emotions, can straighten our mindset to focus. A frustrated mind, can't learn. As newbies, the lesson here is to remain focused and terminate quick money making thoughts. Calculating greed as a thing for the experienced and experts can create in me the zeal to learn for a long time. Before trying to make quick money via trading.

You have spoken well OP. Just as you have said, it is good one learns to mastery before engaging because involving yourself without having knowledge would lead to wreckage. So to be on the safe side,it is good you have the prerequisite basic information on trading so you could be able to scale through while building your trading skills coupled with you have a little experience in the process of practical approach to the trading fundamentals.

I believe trading is all about experience and not mind set. It is good one have a good mindset but that does not guarantee that you will be 100% accurate while trading as that has nothing to do with making profit while trading but your skills and experience do because that would help in telling you when to invest and when not to.

Learning is a good thing and experience is better.

Have the kind of mindset that takes risk, have a target and be well determined to go for your goal, learning is also part of the ladder steps you will needed to have the desired achievements and results you wanted to see with your journey being a bitcoin investor or trader, when you have the perseverance for adapt for a learning ground, you will get the aimed and targeted goals achieved over time with deligent due process, everything about life is by procedures and protocols, don't try to byecutt any means to forcefully make your achievements in other for them to last.

You're right but from another angle, we become perfect by undergoing practical. The experts in trading today were once a beginner and they start from somewhere as well. If beginners are discourage from partaking in trading simply because it's risky then, I'm afraid in the coming days we'll be short of traders or possibly have no more traders in existence again when the present ones are no more. I understand that trading is very risky for beginners and even the experts but discouraging is not the way forward or will reduce it risk in anyway. What beginners need is guidance, orientation and experience from experts in the aspect.

Having a good orientation will change their mindset towards trading. Giving them deserve knowledge and experience will prepare them for the challenges ahead. Losing money is part of the game and you must sacrifice for that if you want to venture into it.

OP, if I may ask are you into trading..I guess NO.
Trading shouldn't be taken as a full-time job, because it is not that reliable and even the professional traders run at loss. For one to be a good trader, that person must learn the fundamental analysis and technical analysis, with risk management for him to be able to understand bitcoin price movement. Reading charts is very compulsory for a trader that want to be successful. Lastly, you must always practice what you have known so that you can have your own market strategy that you be favorable for you. As a newbie it is advised that you stay away from trading because it is similar to gambling, but if you must trade, you use only trade with the amount that you can afford to lose. I prefer investing more than the trading.

It is not advisable to depend on trading as a full time job because trading is not what one can predict to be always running on profit. Even professional traders make high losses most times as a result of market conditions as they too can not predict the market most times. Although it is good one trade but not a thing of putting your hope in trading for survival. Yi can just put it as an extra source of income but not fully depend on it for survival.

Lastly as you have said, only investing what you can afford to lose saves you of much stress. It is normal that one should atleast diversify their investment so as not to be aken unawares.

[Mame89]

I trade as a side hustle while keeping my job. I think building wealth involves developing good habits like setting aside money regularly for solid trading. Rather than trying to predict and forecast market stability and when exactly changes will occur, a better strategy is to have a portfolio that is ready to face whatever it eventually brings.

If you want to be successful in trading you must have a mindset that takes responsibility for your emotions, not blaming others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your mistakes, pointing the finger at others will only increase your sense of personal accountability. There is always a risk in every trade, but people still trade and succeed. You have to look outward if you want to be successful in trading. The important point is that successful people didn't become like that overnight. What most people see in terms of wealth, great careers and goals is the result of their hard work.

I use to think am the only one that comes across this same question on RED, not on till i read between the lines and saw yours. If trading was that easy trust me no body will be broke, its not easy the psychology behind it is something else. And they will be thinking you dont wanna help.

[Usasauki2004]

It is advisable not to trade as a beginner because it will lead to discouragement and lack of interest in trading. Before the commencement of trading it is better to gather enough information before venting into it and it can be done either through mentorship or self reading through YouTube and some good books by reputable authors.
After gathering the knowledge and experience enough you can now decide whether to trade or hold. Deliberate careful and choose the one which will benefit you more but make sure skills (knowledge) is not left behind because it's key.

Those people are just looking on the money he get from internet but they never see the struggles before he earns it. That's why there are people telling something like that because they might think earning some money is so easy online or even in trading but once they are there they realize that its so hard to earn money and quit. That's why sometimes I don't like to teach other people ask me about trading especially if I see that they are not really interested about it and they are there for money since I don't like to be blame if something bad happen to them. That's why sometimes its good to be quiet and live a low key lifestyle so that no people will ask you about anything related to that situation.

[Vladv26]

I think one of the most important things you have to understand as a beginner, not only in trading but in pretty much any domain is that you are going to make mistakes, in fact it's necessary to make them because that's the only way you can learn and gain experience.

You can spend thousands of hours reading about trading and practicing it on demo, but at a certain point you are going to have to dive into it with your own money at stake and that's when the fun begins. You are going to take some bad decisions, you are going to make some bad investments, you are going to miss opportunities, and at the same time you are also going to have some small wins. If you analyze your trades you'll notice patterns emerging, you'll notice what went wrong / well and overtime you'll instinctively learn to take better decisions. Just don't expect to be successful without making a lot of mistakes first because that's impossible.

[Natalim]

But this is what I can say - stop thinking of becoming traders if we can't afford to risk and are not willing to lose money.
It is indeed a falsehood to get rich quickly in trading but it was impossible to be there either if we do nothing and risking. For beginners, never underestimate the market and never be confident enough that we have learned today, then think that we can earn by tomorrow. Instead, expect mistakes and losses but make this a lesson to learn more and be wise in making decisions.

No, buddy, you are not the only one who gets these questions. I guess most of the people who make their pocket money from the internet get this type of question in their real life. No matter how many, but they get the questions from friends and relatives. Sometimes people show their interest in what I do and they want to learn how to make money online.

Most of the time I do not show interest in teaching because I know they will waste my time and leave at some point. But when I get these questions from my closest persons, I cannot deny them sharing how I make pocket money online.

The ending is as usual. When I start to explain, they barely understand what I am talking about and they lose the interest very quickly.

However, beginners in trading will not be free from failure and loss. It does provide experience but it all also depends on the trader himself. whether it will maintain his enthusiasm for learning to become a professional trader. or even drop it mentally and then walk away from trading.
Even beginners who only join and follow trading signal groups will not avoid losses. Crypto trading is not just about buying and selling it at a profit. there are many factors to study.
