I recently turned 17 and decided that I need to make money. Found out about trading and decided that this is the way. Tried a demo account and would just randomly place orders hoping to make profits, I didn’t know what I was doing. Make an actual account on an exchange that’s is popular in my country and made some profit but lost all of it a little later. Decided that I needed to learn something and not just randomly buy or sell and here we are.

Welcome to the forum and community.
As you have discovered just randomly buying and or selling will get you nowhere.
To make money you need an understanding of what is happening and why big amounts of money drive prices higher or lower or sideways. This is where to begin. Understand why the market moves. What triggers people to buy or what triggers people to sell.
Best of luck with your learning journey.
Welcome! I’m sure you will enjoy and learn so much from all the free materials here. Good luck on your trading journey!
You’re not alone, I just replied to another post who started trading at a young age too. Keep learning and practicing, and you’ll get better at it.
Welcome to the community! I feel like many newbies started out making random trades too before realizing the need for a solid strategy. Have you checked out the School here? Feel free to ask if you need any help.
