Trading is good for short term. But if you want to make money from it, you have to be diligent doing it because many are also getting a not so good result as they trade. Most specially in being a newbie in trading, you need to gain experience first.

Without having such, you'll throw money on it but if you have the purpose of doing it and for the sake of learning. Those loss will be worth it for you because you're learning with it. Start with small amount and learn the basics.
