Think of trading like fishing. You've got to have a good plan before you head out-know what bait to use, find the right spot, and don't rush. Just like you wouldn't spend all your savings on a fishing trip, don't put all your money into one trade. Keep learning the tricks of the trade, start small, and be patient. Write down what works and what doesn't, so you can get better over time. Basically, be smart, keep learning and don't risk more than you can afford to lose. That's how you keep your wallet happy in the long run.
