Hey Azlan,
Firstly I'd have to say I agree with Rahman and Pharaoh. Spending too long on demo might lead to development of bad trading habits while too soon might only have you be prematurely accustomed to the system.
In addition since no one has yet to mention this, I want you to point you and anyone else who's new to this video linked down below and pay close attention to the phrase "
90% of retail clients wipe out their account in about 6 months" (repeat listening to it if you must, it IS meant to scare you, lol).
Now ask yourself, are there only 10% of good traders out there in the market? Of course this seems like an impossible figure given the amount of knowledgeable traders around giving advice; I'd personally agree that this is not true. Google "world's one time largest hedge fund bankrupt" and you'll be surprised how even pro's can go bust.
So the end result is not totally about being labelled as a '
good' trader who makes several good trades; it's about being a '
profitable' trader. So, what's the secret?
I think it's important for fresh traders to have a system whereby:
1) The 'take profit' TP order
IS ALWAYS BIGGER than the 'stop loss' (SL) order.
2)
ALWAYS be able to control your emotions in regards to rule number 1.
3) Be disciplined (Do not keep changing your method and rules - Find yourself!).
I reckon with this in mind and adhering to it, you're already better than 90% out there who do not practice as such.
For starters it's easier said than done but in time, you'll get the hang of it
Cheers buddy, happy trading!
