I'll try cutting down on my habit of becoming over stressed at any unfavorable market move. Second, am aiming to become more updated with the news part.
That's right, beginners shouldn't risk so much in the start itself. Even I suggest demo trading for the beginning, that's the best to test strategies and know more about the markets, without risking any funds.
I agree with most of the posts. Scalping is a risky trading style, but if a trader uses the opportunities with proper risk management and skills, he/she definitely gets to earn well.
I think that's the case with everyone @MarkBrown
Experiences make us learn better, for so many traders losses play a turning point in their trading journey. And so I think every trader should give it a try, no matter he incurs a loss. What's important is how he analyses that mistake and learns...
I hardly follow any guru, people might have faith in them, but unfortunately I do not. I believe it is best to follow what one thinks is the best for him, rather than blindly relying on someone else for those advice.
