Second, how to learn trading step by step from scratch until you reach the level of a professional trader. Third, what are the real and permissible markets you can enter and trade in? This is because many people work on platforms and markets that are forbidden and have no relation whatsoever to trading or investment, yet they think that what they do on these platforms is called trading. In reality, these are the most important questions you need answered in your life as an investor or trader. Keep in mind that the idea behind learning trading isn't to earn tens of thousands a day; the idea is to build a skill that will stay with you throughout your life. So stay with me until the end of the video and don't get bored, because this video will be a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to start in the field of trading without any beating around the bush. So get your coffee ready, and let's get started. First, we'll explain what trading is. My friend, simply put, trading is about buying and selling assets frequently and in short periods to buying and selling assets frequently and in short periods to something for 10 and sell it for 12, your profit is the difference between the two prices, which is two. These assets can be company stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities like gold, or even real estate. The idea behind trading, my friend, is to try to profit from price movements in the market. For example, if the price is expected to rise, you buy now and sell later when it rises. If the price is expected to fall and you already own the asset, you can sell now and buy later when its price is lower. All markets move based on something called the law of supply and demand. For example, if there is high demand for a certain asset and low supply, its price will rise. But if the demand is low and the supply is high, its price will fall. So why are people interested in trading? Look, my friend, and pay close attention to what I'm about to say because Just so you know, the type of trading people are interested in and hear about is trading in financial markets like the stock exchange and the cryptocurrency market. However, trading in general can happen in the real estate market or even the fruit and vegetable market. Trading in these areas is also considered a form of business, but in this video, we'll only talk about trading in financial markets. People are interested in trading in financial markets because it gives you freedom of time and place. You can work from home, a like. Plus, if you understand the market well and work in it correctly, you can earn a very good amount of money, God willing. And of course, you don't need an office, a team, a company, or anything like that at all. It's just team, a company, or anything like that at all. It's just you, the internet, and the trading platform that will be created. There are risks in trading, my friend. Yes, there are risks, of course. You can win and you can lose, just like any business in the world. There are profits and losses, but the key is to learn how to minimize losses before you think about profits. Of course, I'll explain how later in the video, so keep watching until the end. Now, let's move on to the second question: What are the legitimate and permissible markets that you can enter and trade in? Here, I want you to pay close attention because every word I say will make a big difference to you. Look, my friend, trading largely takes place in four main markets, and the first of these is the Forex market, or the foreign exchange market. In this market, foreign currencies are traded or exchanged against each other, like the Euro and the Dollar. You buy Euros with Dollars, and if the Euro's price increases, you sell and take the profit. So, profit and loss in the market depend on the entry and exit prices of the currency. The Forex market is said to be permissible (halal) on one condition only: that you use an Islamic account that is completely free of interest or usury. However, there are many currencies that you can't trade because they already have interest. There are many opinions that say even if you use an Islamic account free of interest, it's still haram (forbidden). Furthermore, the Forex market doesn't involve actual ownership of currencies in the traditional sense. In reality, you don't You own the currency instantly. In reality, you're trading on the price difference between two currencies, like the Euro and the Dollar. Frankly, I personally don't trust this market at all, I don't work in it, and I don't recommend it, so stay away from it completely. The second market we have is the binary options market, and this market is considered religiously impermissible (haram). I won't go into details because if you try it—and I certainly don't recommend you—you'll realize that the market is nothing but gambling and betting. If you get close to it, you'll understand what I mean. There's absolutely no need to try it because I'm telling you right now that it's not permissible (halal), it's not legitimate, and it has absolutely nothing to do with trading or investment, not even remotely. There are so many apps and platforms for it, and I'm personally sure you've seen advertisements for these kinds of apps or even seen content creators or people claiming to be content creators talking about them. Among these apps are Expert Option, Olymp Trade, and IQ Option, and there are many more. You'll find them written on the screen. Most of these apps will always have or hear about any app that isn't on the list I've given you, always search for it on Google to see if it's a binary options app. If it is, run, Magdy! Be aware that besides being forbidden (haram), 90% of people lose all their money on these types of apps. So, believe me, it's impossible for you to be among the remaining 10%. Of course, I'm telling you this if you don't care about what's permissible ( halal) and forbidden (haram), which should be your priority. I also want to tell you that when you enter the field of trading or investing, you'll hear about something called leverage. It's the feature or thing that magnifies your money. For example, if your capital is $100, it can become $1000. Another $2000 ransom is also forbidden, don't use it. Before we talk about the third and fourth markets, I hope you subscribe to the channel to see the previous and upcoming videos, and also like the video so it reaches the largest possible number of people and everyone benefits. Now we come to the third market, which is the stock market. To understand what the stock market is, I need to give you a very simple example. Imagine, my friend, that you have a successful business or company and you need to expand and grow your business or company. You need money, but unfortunately, you don't have any. In this case, you need to raise money from an external source to grow your company and increase your revenues and profits. Of course, you will look for investors, and the best place to find investors, my friend, is the stock market. lot of money... To attract investors to your company, you'll need to offer a portion of your ownership in the company through an initial public offering (IPO). Let's say you sell 30% of your ownership to investors; this 30% represents shares. These shares could be 300,000 individual shares of the company. You could say that shares are units or parts of the company's ownership. For example, if you buy shares of Google, the company that owns YouTube, you are considered an owner of Google. You might own a very small part of the company, but you're still an owner even if you own just one share out of thousands. Because the number of shares in these companies is so large, it's impossible to find just one person who owns a large company like Google, Tesla, Microsoft, or even Apple. In reality, you'll find thousands of people who own shares in these companies. This, in short, is the stock market. Or the stock market, where what is permissible and impermissible is clear, just like any other business you might have heard of. For example, imagine buying shares or becoming a partner in an alcohol company or a company that deals in usury. That's definitely impermissible, no need to elaborate. But if you're trading and you buy shares or become a partner in a dairy company in the country where you live, then God willing, your trading here is permissible. I want to tell you that the Sharia boards in your country will clarify which companies are permissible to buy shares in and invest in, without you having to tire yourself out researching each company you want to invest in to see if it's permissible or not. All you have to do is find the Sharia board in your country and see the list they provide of permissible companies for investment. The fourth market we have is the digital currency market, or crypto. Simply put, digital currencies are a new type of money, but the difference is that they aren't Money we see or can touch, like the metal or paper money in your pocket, is different. These currencies exist only online; they are all digital and are transferred from wallet to wallet via the internet. The basic idea behind all, or most, digital currencies is that they are decentralized. This means that no one controls them, and all transactions that occur using digital currencies are recorded in a large system called the blockchain. You can think of the blockchain as a huge electronic ledger where all transactions that occur using digital currencies are recorded, and no one can, or rather, it is impossible for anyone to change or modify the transactions recorded on the blockchain. The most famous digital currencies that people know and talk about are Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin was the first digital currency in the world and started as a means of online payment that people used without needing banks. After that, many other digital currencies appeared, each with its own use and different concept. People, of course, use digital currencies for many things, such as investment. Trading means, for example, when you buy Bitcoin or Ethereum and wait for its price to increase, then sell it. You also like using cryptocurrencies for transfers. For example, if you want to send money to anyone in the world, you can send it using cryptocurrencies, and this happens in minutes. There's also the use of cryptocurrencies for payments. Some places or companies allow you to pay using cryptocurrencies instead of cash or Visa. But, my friend, just as cryptocurrencies have advantages, they also have risks. The most important one is that cryptocurrency prices change very quickly. For example, you might be making a profit, and then a little while later, you'll find the prices have dropped drastically. In short, cryptocurrencies are a new form of money that allows you to buy, sell, or transfer money easily and securely without any intermediary like a bank. But the most important thing in the market is to be aware of the risks and learn thoroughly before you begin. Trading in the cryptocurrency market is divided into two parts. The first part is trading in futures contracts, or The second category is spot trading, and spot trading is permissible (halal) just like stocks. The most important thing is to know whether the cryptocurrency you're trading is permissible (halal) or not. Many websites tell you if the cryptocurrency you're trading or continuing to trade is permissible (halal) simply by typing its name. To find these websites, all you have to do is go to Google and do a short search. You can also use the keywords I'll write on the screen now in your Google search to find these sites. As for trading in futures contracts, there's some question about its permissibility (halal), and many scholars say it's forbidden (haram) because it involves mandatory interest and leverage. It's best to avoid it completely. The best platform for investing and trading in cryptocurrencies worldwide is Binance. I've personally used it and created many tutorials about it, which you can find on my channel. You can also register on it. Download the app from the link in the video description below, and you'll also get a 20% lifetime discount on platform commissions. I'd also like to mention that all the information I shared in the video about what's permissible and impermissible is my personal research and compilation. I hope I've succeeded, but before you start and make any decisions, do your own research. Now, let's get to the third and most important question: how to learn trading from scratch until you reach the level of a professional trader. Look, my friend, and pay close attention: more than 90% of newcomers who more than 90% of newcomers who enter the market for the first time lose 90% of their money, maybe even more. Why does this happen? Simply put, there are two main reasons. The first is entering the markets without any education or plan. Many people see in the market, so they enter without sufficient background knowledge, thinking it's easy and they'll profit quickly. But there are always... The market has its rules, and the second reason, my friend, is learning the wrong way. Not every piece of information you encounter is the right kind. You might learn, but learn it the wrong way, from the wrong sources, or from people who don't understand the market well. The result is that you repeat the same mistakes you made before. Trading isn't easy, and you can't learn it overnight. But with clear steps and patience, you can reach a professional level. That's why I'm going to give you a practical seven- step plan that you can follow from the beginning to becoming a professional. The first step is understanding the basics, or the things you need to know first, like what trading is (which we explained in today's video, thank God), and the trading platforms you'll use, whether for stocks or cryptocurrencies. You also need to know how to use them. For example, with the Binance cryptocurrency platform, you need to know how to use it, how to deposit and withdraw funds, and how to buy and sell. And of course, all of this... You'll find it explained on my channel, so make sure you're subscribed, or use a website like TradeView to draw and analyze charts. The second step is learning technical analysis, which is the secret to success in trading. Without technical analysis, you won't be able to make sound decisions about when to buy and when to sell. Technical analysis involves understanding price charts and movements, reading Japanese candlesticks, support and resistance levels, trends, and technical indicators. To learn technical analysis from scratch to professional level, you don't need to take a course costing thousands of dollars. I've created a book that's your comprehensive guide to learning trading from the very beginning until you reach the level of a professional trader. The book contains all the data and information you might need as a beginner. The goal of the book is to take you on a structured journey without any complications and without wasting your time on unnecessary information. You can buy my book now from the link in the video description below. The third step is learning risk management to protect your capital. The biggest reason beginners lose money is... They don't respect risk, and that's where risk management comes in. You have to use something called a stop-loss order, which you'll find explained in the book. For example, you have to set a point or time to exit a trade if the price moves against you. You also have to set a risk percentage; for example, don't risk more than 1-2% of your capital in a single trade. Don't be greedy; always set a profit target, take the profit afterward, and walk away. Of course, you must avoid trading without a plan. Don't enter the market randomly; you have to know when to exit a trade, whether you're making a profit or a loss. Risk management is Here, I'm talking about trading, not investing, because trading is short- term, while investing is long-term. However, understanding technical analysis will still help you with investing. Again, you have to set a risk percentage of your capital; don't risk all your capital in a single trade. The fourth step is training. On a demo account—and by that I mean, don't enter the real market while you're still learning— use a demo account to apply the steps you've learned without risk. Many platforms offer demo accounts you can use, but I haven't personally tried them, so I can't recommend specific platforms. Alternatively, if you have a small amount of money and don't mind losing it to learn, then use it. However, I don't advise risking a large sum. I suggest using a small amount of your own money for learning because you learn faster and better when using your own funds. For example, when you use a demo account, it doesn't matter. After trying for a month, two, or three with a small amount (depending on your effort, of course), and starting to profit, you can then enter the market with a larger amount or more capital. The fifth step is learning to analyze the news. Sometimes news can cause market prices to move wildly, and this happens very often, especially in the cryptocurrency market. So, follow global news, especially news related to cryptocurrencies. Economically, you should have a few reliable sources you can check every day or every two days. My advice here is to avoid trading during news events because sometimes the market is unpredictable and prices move very, very quickly. So take your time, be patient, and always be mindful of FOMO (the fear of missing out), so don't let it constantly affect you. The sixth step is to develop your mindset. The key is your mentality and emotional state while trading. You must be patient and understand that the market won't give you money every day and won't always be in your favor. You must understand and accept losses because losses are part of the market and, in fact, part of any business. So don't let one loss ruin your morale and your entire business. Try to control your emotions well and don't buy or sell when you're angry, stressed, or even overjoyed. Always let your decisions stem from your intellect and your view of the market. So, my friend, always evaluate your performance regularly, perhaps weekly or monthly. You look at the mistake you made and learn from it. The seventh and final step is to always continue learning, no matter your level. Always strive to learn and develop yourself because the market has no limits. And that's it, peace out.
