Newbies should spend at least a few months learning the basics of markets, economics, and how to “cover” pairs. I’d do that before making any live trades. Once you get the feel, have a nice dashboard of macro indicators, you can start to test them. E.g. economic performance differentials are picking up in Eurozone vs us, so long euro til end of month (when Eurozone exporters will convert their usd to euro). Etc.
