I will not advice newbies to trade until they know what they are doing. There is a high chance to loose it all if you are trading without a plan. Best thing to do is to buy and hold patiently.
Absolutely right, i know a guy who joined trading career for a week with 2k$ . He didn't know anything about margin trading but still with it.One week later, nothing left in his balance. He quits trading from that moment.
