I started trading only since Nov21, as I don't have a good lump sum of money to invest.
so what I did was to know what's my objective and what kind of trader am I going for.
Currently, my stocks aren't going well but I trust is a good start for a newbie for me.
what I have learnt, do not get carried off by your emotions.
Invest using your spare cash and dont investing blindly.
Stop whining and don't get embarrassed to be holding a stocks that is going down.

I'm a total greenhorn here! Most importantly, know what you want,stick to your goals.
Don't ride with emotions.
hooya!
