If you're a newbie who's just stumbled upon T2W with your head full of fantasies about becoming a trader, caning the markets and making millions in double quick time - then you need to come back down to earth and plant your feet firmly on the ground. In the video below, Gary of 'Gary's Economics' YouTube channel, who is a former top Citi Bank trader, outlines the scale of the task ahead of you. Watch it and, having done so, if you conclude that perhaps trading's not for you, then you'll only have wasted 20 minutes of your time instead of years and years and having lost £100's - if not £1,000s - to boot. Take it away Gary . . .

Welcome to the exciting world of trading! It's great to see you're taking the first step. Here are some essential tips to help you get started on the right foot:
1. Educate Yourself: Begin by learning the basics of trading, including different markets (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.), trading strategies, and key concepts like risk management and technical analysis. There are plenty of free resources, courses, and books available to build your foundation.
2. Define Your Goals and Risk Tolerance: Decide what you want to achieve through trading—whether it's long-term growth or short-term gains—and understand how much risk you're willing to take. This will guide your trading style and choices.
3. Start with a Demo Account: Most trading platforms offer demo accounts where you can practice without risking real money. Use this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the platform and test your strategies.
4. Develop a Trading Plan: Create a clear plan that outlines your entry and exit criteria, money management rules, and discipline to stick to your strategy. Consistency and discipline are key to success.
5. Begin Small: When you're ready to trade with real money, start with a small amount that you can afford to lose. This helps you manage risk and learn from real market experiences.
6. Keep Learning and Stay Informed: Markets are dynamic. Stay updated with news, economic indicators, and market analysis. Continuously refine your skills and strategies.
7. Be Patient and Manage Emotions: Trading can be stressful, and losses are part of the process. Maintain patience, avoid impulsive decisions, and keep emotions in check.
Remember, trading is a journey that requires continuous learning and practice. Take your time, and don’t hesitate to seek advice from experienced traders and communities. Good luck, and happy trading!
