Trading simply means buying and selling financial assets (like forex, stocks, crypto, or commodities) with the aim of making profit from price changes.
You don’t need to overcomplicate it — you buy low, sell high (or sell high, buy back low).

📚 Step 2: Learn the Market Basics
Forex → Currencies (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, Gold).
Stocks → Company shares (e.g., Apple, Tesla).
Crypto → Digital coins (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
Commodities → Gold, Oil, Silver.
👉 As a beginner, forex or crypto is usually easier to start with because of small capital requirements.

🛠 Step 3: Get the Tools
Trading Platform → MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), or TradingView.
Broker Account → A regulated broker (e.g., Exness, Deriv, OctaFX).
Demo Account → Always start with demo (practice money) before risking real money.

📊 Step 4: Learn Analysis
There are 2 main ways to know when to enter a trade:
1. Technical Analysis (Charts & Indicators)
Support & Resistance
Trend lines
Moving Averages, RSI, MACD
2. Fundamental Analysis (News & Economy)
Central bank decisions
Inflation reports
Big economic news (e.g., NFP, CPI)
👉 As a beginner, focus more on simple chart patterns + support/resistance before diving into complex strategies.

💰 Step 5: Risk Management (The Survival Key)
Never risk more than 1–2% of your account in one trade.
Always use Stop Loss (SL).
Have realistic profit targets (don’t chase every move).
Example: If you start with $100, risk only $1–$2 per trade.

📈 Step 6: Practice a Simple Strategy
Here’s a basic beginner strategy (trend-following):
1. Find a pair that’s trending (price moving clearly up or down).
2. Wait for a pullback (small opposite move).
3. Enter in the direction of the trend.
4. Place Stop Loss below/above the last swing.
5. Target at least 1:2 Risk-Reward.

🧠 Step 7: Build the Trader’s Mindset
Be patient — don’t rush profits.
Stick to your plan.
Accept losses as part of the game.
Keep learning daily.
