In short, trading is buying and selling financial assets such as currencies, gold, stocks, or cryptocurrencies with
[01:00] the aim of profiting from the price difference. It is not necessary to memorize all the trading vocabulary, but the most important thing is to understand the concept of trading. The price moves continuously, going up or down, and your role is to
[01:14] enter at the right point and exit at the right point. The correct approach, and certainly without significant risk, correct approach, and certainly without significant risk, is the second step: opening a demo account. This is crucial for beginners. The biggest mistake beginners make is going straight into a real account, meaning they put their own
[01:30] money in and start learning with it. The solution is to start with a demo account for two weeks or more. While you're working on the demo account,
[02:01] open trades and learn without using your real funds. The third step is choosing only one trading strategy. Don't look for a magic strategy. Many magic strategy. Many people claim to have a magic strategy, but beginners wonder
[02:17] people claim to have a magic strategy, but beginners wonder strategies, then go to someone else who teaches them yet another, resulting in confusion. They have
[02:29] many strategies but don't master any of them. They might know They might know 20% or 30% of one strategy, but they don't truly master it. One 100% strategy is the best thing for a beginner. It's crucial to choose a single strategy that focuses on these
[02:44] elements: market direction (trend), breaking support and resistance lines, and using only one indicator, such as the RCI or moving average. The most important thing is to choose one strategy and practice it for weeks.
[02:57] For example, when you become a professional, you have the right to choose many strategies, but as long as you're a beginner, focus on one strategy and master it 100%. The fourth step is the
[03:09] 100%. The fourth step is the real secret: capital management. This is the difference real secret: capital management. This is the difference between a professional and a beginner. A professional is very skilled at managing their capital (risk management), while for a beginner, capital management is the last thing on their mind.
[03:23] Never enter a single trade with 50% of your capital. The rule followed by 50% of your capital. The rule followed by most professionals is 1 or 2% of your capital per trade. most professionals is 1 or 2% of your capital per trade. For example, if you have $100 in
[03:38] capital, you should only enter with $1 or $2 per trade. This applies to a $2 per trade. This applies to a single trade, but for the entire day, don't exceed that amount. 10% of your capital, for example, $100, should not exceed $10 of your capital in
[03:54] daily trades. The fifth step: Mistakes you must avoid as a beginner in trading so you don't fall into the trap that every beginner falls into. This is why we say that 90% of people don't continue
[04:07] trading, and this is due to these mistakes that I will mention now. So, to avoid being one of the 90% of people who fail in trading, listen to me carefully: Don't open too many trades in one day, i.e.,
[04:19] overtrading. Never do this. Don't trade under pressure or driven by emotion, and don't enter under pressure or driven by emotion, and don't enter trades just because someone said this or that, or follow groups and keep entering trades with this group and that group. Don't do
[04:35] that group. Don't do this. Most beginners ignore stop-loss orders. They don't set a stop-loss and this. Most beginners ignore stop-loss orders. They don't set a stop-loss and leave the trade as is, and this is the biggest mistake. The huge mistake is greed, and there are two types of
[04:49] greed. For example, if the first trade is profitable and the second trade is profitable, then greed enters your mind, and you say, "I will profit from this trade." The third time, you lose the third trade. After that, you shift from greed
[05:01] to trying to recoup your losses, thinking, "I have to recover my losses, I have to get this money back." So you overtrade, and that's how you my losses, I have to get this money back." So you overtrade, and that's how you lose all your money and get stuck. In short, lose all your money and get stuck. In short, trading is a profitable field, yes, it is,
