I lost alot in trading as a novice all because of the influence I got from a fellow novice trader.
This is very bad, even experienced traders cannot necessarily provide the right view on the day's trading, even though experienced traders should be able to provide a good influence.
With this bad experience, you must start learning on your own, and any advice from other traders should only be used as a reference, not as a primary source.
Trading is certainly not easy; even after years of trading, traders still need to continue learning to understand the market.
Even experienced traders could lose money and be wrong, so you have to make sure that you know what you are doing yourself. Obviously learn how to trade, but also ask WHY when they are teaching.
A teacher who just says "because I said so" is not a good mentor at all, you have to ask them everything and if they explain to you about something you should do, then they should also be able to explain to you why you should do that too, and the reason behind it. If they can do that, then you will understand the logic behind it, and that would make a lot more money as well. What we are facing at the moment we could get a greater return, if we could learn this way from some mentor then we could be solo after a while and make money too.
