Every platform is aimed to yield profits and trading platform is one of the best platforms to invest and gain turn over. We do have experienced traders here. Few love to start trading after their research here. What are the things you would advice a new trader to focus on? How should one go about when beginning his / her trading?
Getting rid of the emotions that can ruin your trades and learning atleast the very basics of technical analysis. First one being the hardest one to get rid off, and therefore also the most important. Just like in sports, you shouldn't jump straight into the big leagues before you're confident you can play the game, same thing with trading. You need to develop yourself as a trader before you start throwing money into exchanges, learn to trust your own analysis.
Start with paper trading.
Analyze coins & tokens of your choosing and when you're confident it'll go up/down, make a note for yourself saying that "Went long/short at xxxx-price" and see how the trade goes. If trade goes south, analyze what went wrong and reassess your strategy and try again. If you exited at profit, congratulations and keep up the good work.
Practice before you try anything, no need to lose money while starting your journey.
