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.
Well, you are right there. If I were a newbie, I will not execute and enter into the trading field if I am not yet ready for the battle. Because trading for me is required skills and knowledge that you can able to decide and make a strategy on your own without relying upon other people's work. You can also use demo for a better practice in trading or even the copy paste trading and I suggest using e-toro is the best exchange platform that offers copy-paste trading from experts. However, still experienced makes traders perfect at the end.
