I plan to learn futures trading and dive into it fully, I've been demo trading for a while now and I've been doing fine and I think I can make the big jump now maybe because the exchange I'm using is offering events for first time futures traders lol
But I'm sure you guys have traded futures a lot, how hard is it compared to spot?
As a newbie trader, I would advice you to stick to spot trading because it's mostly buying and selling, in other words, you buy low and sell high, but the future market is more difficult because you predict the movement of the market, if it goes your way, you make money and if it goes against you you lose money.
Secondly, talking of demo trading which you have been doing for sometime now according to you, and you have been successful in it, I want you to have it at the back of your mind that demo trading is nothing compared to live trading, because in demo trading their is no emotions like fear and greed, so just know that you stand a very high chances of losing a whole lot of money if you can't control your emotions when trading live, but I would advice you to keep off for now, till you are more knowledgeable enough in the craft, and know all it entails and how to navigate your way in the market and be profitable, or due you want to learn the hard way?
I would just advice you to keep off for now, because it's for your own good.
