Research and Learning

I think its important to look at and research a variety of different trading styles. Some of the different styles out there are buy and hold, dividend investing, value investing, dollar cost averaging, scalping and swing trading. Its important to pick one that works for you. I work full time so setting up my scalps the day before on the ThinkOrSwim platform allows me to do my research the day before and the trades execute automatically while I’m at work.
In addition to picking a strategy, taking a course or watching videos before jumping in and investing will be helpful. Many company’s offer a paper trading system that allows you to trade without using real money, this can help you get familiar with the markets. I personally took a few technical chart analysis courses from Udemy, theres also financial analysis to consider.
However, you decide to start or continue trading I highly recommend taking classes, watching videos and learning as much as you can prior to investing with real money. As always do not invest more than you can afford to lose and do your own research.
