The first step on the trader's path: Train with the best

What type of trader or investor are you?

When choosing an investment or trading course, you should do so based on your personality and lifestyle. Unfortunately, choosing the best stock market course isn't as simple as it seems. I recommend that you look at the reviews of each course I've published on this website and research them in detail. Don't let the marketing seduce you. Often, that's all it is: marketing.

The second step on the trader's path: Risk and emotion management

Test your skills without risking your capital

After completing a trading course, it will be time to put your risk and emotional management skills to the test. This small but significant step is one of the most difficult in a trader's life, and I recommend starting with a funded account.

WHAT IS A FUNDING ACCOUNT?


Funding accounts are used to trade without risking your own money . These accounts allow traders to trade with capital provided by a company, in exchange for sharing the profits.

Want to learn more about funded trading? In this article about funding companies, I'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of trading with them.

It's time to open a live account

A broker's services are essential if you want to trade, and it's important to be able to select the one that's right for you. While many factors influence your choice of online broker, I can confidently say that regulation, commissions, and customer service are among the most important to consider. Let me share my experience with each of the brokers I use.
