It is highly recommended you enroll in a trading course before you start trading shares with real money for these reasons.
1. By entering the stock market without any knowledge or strategies is dangerous, and is gambling, as you will not know how to protect your money. You might as well take a trip down to your local casino and place your money on red…or black, your choice!.
2. By having the information taught to you by experts you will grasp concepts easier than by reading the concepts out of a book or online.
3. You may be able to gather a bit of the technical analysis information online or in books but being taught how to apply it correctly, as you do on courses, is invaluable.
4. Courses cover the psychological aspect of trading, an aspect that all ‘losers’ in the stock market undervalue. You learn invaluable information on how to apply yourself before entering a trade.
Feel free to have a ‘play around’ with a stock market fantasy trading account before enrolling in a course, in fact it will give you a basic level of knowledge before taking the course.
