So before you go into this activity, you should know at least the overview of what to expect so you are not caught by surprise. Before using your own money, try also joining some demo trading, which is offered already by several exchanges. And then, when you are dealing with your own money already, start small, as actual use of your money is quite different from using only demo account.
Start small and allow yourself to experience all this knowledge that you acquire while using the demo account,
When you feel more comfortable with your strategy. It's the right time to add more
but never to stop learning. It's an everlasting cycle that keeps updating from time to time.
Maybe your strategy works by now, but after some time it's no longer fits with many changes that happen inside the market,
be an open-minded and allow adjustment to take place whenever it's needed.
