I'm also beginner in trading. I trade since this summer and I lost about $90 on $120 account. Recently I make $20 on last $34.
Throughout my journey in trading, I read Jack Schwager's book, watched many educational videos on YouTube, read many articles on the educational sections of CEX exchanges, and also talked with many traders. It seems to me that I understand enough about technical analysis, trading systems and trader psychology. But I'm at a dead end and don't know what to do next. Other traders advised me to just trade, but I think that over time I will lose my remaining $45, and demo trading does not bring such emotions and I don’t want to try hard when trading it
Trading involves losses and those who are new to trading have no experience due to which they tend to lose more. So I would advise new traders to start trading with small amount of funds and keep trading. In this case they will lose some amount and from that loss they can learn a lot and gain experience. For this new traders should first learn fund management. After that you have to acquire good knowledge about market analysis, chart analysis, other research. And gradually they will become experts
