To begin with, it would not hurt a beginner to study support/resistance levels, the work of trend lines, technical analysis figures and candlestick patterns.
You need to learn how to protect your assets. With a small amount of capital, try to maintain the range of your assets amid randomly distributed performance outcomes. Based on that, you must train yourself to become insensitive to the results of individual trades. Even if you lose hundreds of dollars in seconds, you need to remain unaffected and continue the battle.
For a new trader, consider a swing trading style. It involves holding positions for several days or weeks, capitalizing on price swings. Focus on technical analysis, set clear entry and exit points, and manage risk with stop-loss orders. Start small to build confidence and experience.
Starting with small amounts also help you to test the brokers processes which can't be usually tested using their demo accounts like withdrawals etc. Second we never know when a good paying broker also turned into scam like we already have examples in the past. So we should keep withdrawing profits leaving the small amounts with the broker to protect our capital.
