The best thing to do when you are newbie is to collect factual information about trading. We can ask the pro traders online or personal on how it will works. Collecting some ideas to take advantage the environment and look for experienced guru online is good to enhance our knowledge in trading industry. But at the end of this, we have to experience trading even in a demo accounts. There are trading platform that offers demo account in trading. But for me, a real account is way better why? Because we literally feel the emotions we have to ride in trading. In demo account, we cannot feel it because we don't risk anything just time.
