Starting in the world of trading can be both exciting and overwhelming. Here are some essential steps to help you get started on the right track:

Begin by educating yourself about the fundamentals of trading. Understand key concepts such as market dynamics, various financial instruments, technical and fundamental analysis, risk management, and trading psychology. There are numerous online resources, courses, books, and educational videos available to help you build a solid foundation of knowledge.
Set Clear Goals: Define your goals and objectives as a trader. Are you looking to generate additional income, build long-term wealth, or pursue trading as a full-time career? Setting clear goals will help you stay focused and motivated throughout your trading journey.
Decide which financial market you want to trade in. Common options include stocks, forex (foreign exchange), commodities, cryptocurrencies, or options. Each market has its characteristics, trading hours, and levels of volatility. Research and consider the market that aligns with your interests, goals, and available resources.
Demo Trading: Practice your trading strategies in a risk-free environment by using demo trading accounts provided by many brokerage platforms. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the trading platform, test different strategies, and gain confidence without risking real money. Treat demo trading seriously and replicate the conditions you would face in live trading.
Create a comprehensive trading plan that outlines your trading approach, risk management strategies, entry and exit rules, and money management techniques. A well-defined plan will provide structure and discipline to your trading activities, helping you make more informed and consistent trading decisions.
When transitioning from demo trading to live trading, start with a small amount of capital that you can afford to lose. This will allow you to gain real trading experience while minimizing the financial risks. As you become more comfortable and successful, you can gradually increase your position sizes.
Trading is a continuous learning process. Stay updated with market news, trends, and developments. Evaluate your trades, identify strengths and weaknesses, and strive for ongoing improvement. Join trading communities or forums to connect with other traders and gain insights from their experiences.

Just like walking into any other business sphere or industry. Conducting a complete industry appraisal. Who are the winners, who are the losers in this landscape. Find the winners, try to figure out what they are doing right. Don't believe in everyone saying they are doing this professionally and they are making it. Then the learning process starts. Go on your own until you cannot find any other information than you already know, then you will need a mentor.

I think it’s a good idea to start off with Youtube videos about fundamentals of forex trading and gradually you’ll become more and more sophisticated in your filtering of information.
At least I began my trading path this way if I remember it correctly.

Alright, so here’s how you start: first, get familiar with the basics—like what a pip is, how leverage works, and how to place trades. You don’t need to know everything upfront, but you gotta understand how the game works.

Start with a demo account to practice without risking real money. Don’t skip this step, man—it’ll help you get comfortable with placing trades, reading charts, and trying out strategies. While you’re demo trading, check out free resources like YouTube or blogs to keep learning.

Once you feel good with the demo, then you can think about going live, but take it slow. Trading’s a grind, not a sprint.

Youtube is a great source of trading information, lots of education videos and guides how to create EAs and learn technical analysis, etc.

Spot on! Demo first, for sure. And when you go live, always set stop losses and manage your risk. It’s all about learning and staying patient—no rush to make big moves early on.
