Have you just entered the trading circle? Are you exploring on your own or following a professional teacher?
This question is very practical, so I'll directly share my opinion:
1. Exploring completely on your own is likely to cost you 'astronomical tuition fees': trading is not just based on feelings and guesses. Market rules, technical indicators, how to use trading software, and risk control are fundamentals that no one guides you on. Relying solely on losing money to figure it out? The cost is too high, and it's easy to become confused by losses.
2. Blindly following others can lead to being taken advantage of!: Many self-proclaimed 'stock gods' and 'signal teachers' aim to trick you into paying tuition fees, and beginners are the easiest to fall for it.
Practice with a demo account: Before entering with real money, practice for a while on a demo account or with small funds to verify what you've learned and feel the market rhythm.
Find a teacher who truly teaches you how to fish. If you're looking for a teacher, focus on whether they systematically teach methods, logic, and risk control, rather than just calling trades and showing profits. They should be able to answer your 'why' and emphasize risk. Such teachers are hard to find, so keep your eyes open.
Final summary: Don't fantasize about self-learning and quick success! Practicing on a demo account cannot be skipped. If you really want to find a teacher, definitely avoid the 'signal calling masters' and look for someone who can teach you how to manage risk, which will save you a lot of unnecessary detours.
