Trading involves a considerable amount of risk. Here are some tips we can share to avoid losing your hard-earned money
- Research is key – don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Read up on trading guides, familiarise yourself with technical analysis tools, and learn the markets you want to trade. In the trading world, knowledge is power.
- Do Your Own Research (DYOR) – while learning how to trade can be intimidating and time-consuming, it’s better to do your own research as opposed to blindly following influencers in the industry.
- Trade on a demo account – before you risk your funds, try trading the markets on a demo account. This will allow you to get the hang of trading, especially the mental and emotional aspects, in a simulated and risk-free environment.
- Sign up with a reputable broker – only trade with brokers that are regulated by financial bodies. This guarantees that you’re trading in a safe, secure, and transparent environment, free of price manipulation.
- More research – the learning doesn’t stop even when you’re already trading successfully. Keep yourself up to date with the latest market news and financial trends to stay ahead of the curve.
Compared to years ago, information is now more accessible – it even comes in different formats! For instance, if you don’t prefer reading trading guides, you can simply turn to videos, webinars, or even podcasts.
