Hi guys , I'm newbie trader , can you share your experience trading , what psychology should beginners apply , what mindset and mistakes should beginners avoid ? Please share your experience
 
Do not let every loss get to your head. Take it slow and never revenge trade like never ever, it will only make things worse. Don’t rush for profits and focus on learning and understanding how the market behaves first.
 
Get bored with winning trades. Keep it routine, don’t chase drama, and treat losses like part of the process. Patience and consistency beat excitement every time.
 
Don’t aim for quick profits …. focus on consistency and risk control. Accept that losses are part of the process, and never trade emotionally or try to win back what you lost…. Stick to one strategy, manage your risk carefully, and only trade what you can afford to lose….Keep a simple trading journal and learn from your own mistakes. Most traders fail not because of bad strategies, but because they don’t manage their emotions. Stay patient, keep learning, and focus on steady progress. Happy Trading.
 
The newbie should stick to trade a demo account for at least a minimum of six months before jumping to live trading in my opinion. Within these six months, they will learn most out of these free demo accounts without burning any of their money.
 
A big mistake is thinking you are ready to trade from Day 1. Think of the markets as a mirror and what you bring to the markets in personality, discipline, stoicism will be reflected back to you. There is no way you will be successful in the markets if you possess a loser/victim mindset, you have the urge to gamble and can't keep emotions in check. Work on yourself and introduce habits/routines in your life that you will follow to create discipline. Have a healthy/positive outlook on life and realise life doesn't happen to you but rather, for you. Introduce an abundance mentality where you are grateful for what you have and learn to keep emotions in check and not act on them but, in spite of them. Once you are this version of yourself then you can approach the markets and trade a strategy on a demo account. I would suggest to quickly move to a live account with small non-life changing capital and grow it over time. Trading with real funds is the best teacher. Once you earn the right, scale your positions with more capital and repeat. This takes years to develop no matter what any fake guru says on TikTok.
