Also, who you follow and pay attention to on social media can make a world of difference. When I first started trading, I was following and listening to complete scammers (not aware that they were scammers). As a result, I nearly lost all my money. Since then, I've unfollowed them and listen to quality traders, and have almost recouped my losses.
It's good to see you changed! However, besides listening to others, you should focus on gaining knowledge, understanding, skills by yourself. By doing this, you'll have the ability to double-check any information that appears on social media. Then you can legitly decide whether to take action or not. Equipping yourself with knowledge and understanding are very important in trading.
