I have been once a newbie.. When I was still a newbie, I kept on reading forums like these. Started opening threads and posting in some forums and looking for answers.. All you have to do is to have a good trading plan and stick with it. Practice on demo accounts in order to be familiar in the platform. Keep on practicing until you enhance your trading skills, join in demo contests and learn all about your broker. After that learn to control your emotions and let discipline and patience be at your mind when you trade and most especially, avoid greed..
