Research and information are required to earn a big amount. If a trader goes ahead trading without maintaining discipline, he will never be a successful trader.
Welcome to the community, @Skredd53. Never too late to start something new. Don’t be nervous. Start with a demo account while you’re still in the learning phase so that you won’t lose money.
Welcome! Why are you nervous? Just take your time learning and don’t forget to practice using a demo account first. Good luck!

Totally in the same boat! This is my first crack at active investing and looking to see if how well i can do here!
For a newbie, it is important to know that you won’t be making profits from the very beginning. You will have to lose several times before you make your first profit. The earlier you understand this, the better your trading journey becomes. Prepare for the losses as well as you would prepare for profits.
