Newbie/Elementary Level BabyPips

Hi all! I’m Nick, a fairly new face in the forex scene. I’ve been studying the basics of trading for a few weeks now, and I’d say I’m pretty competent in my understanding of the technical aspects of Forex.

I have basic understanding of trendlines, resistance and support lines, major candlestick patterns (Engulfing, Hammer/Shooting Stars, Doji, Tweezers, Head and Shoulders, etc.), and indicators (stochastic, rsi, moving average)…but, I feel like I need to get a better grasp on how to implement the fundamentals.

I’m here to learn what to look for in terms of fundamentals, how to manage my risk, and basically gain the knowledge I need to get started on a Paper Trading Account.

I’ll continue to go through the entirety of BabyPips’ courses until I feel as though I’ve learned enough to try a demo account on my own.

If anyone thinks they could help, I’m all ears! Would love to hear about some strategies I can research!

Thanks to anyone that took the time to read this lol!

Welcome! Sounds like you’ve already got a good start going.

I actually started on a demo with the simple strategy they touch on towards the end of the course. It helped me become familiar with my trading platform, how markets move, and a better understanding of trading in general to the point I was able to make my own strategy that fit my trading style.

Enjoy the journey and learning!

Thanks for the response! Glad to hear BabyPips has been useful to you all, and that I’m moving in the right direction lol.

Definitely enjoying the learning experience! And I’m excited to see where this may take me :slight_smile:

Talking about my personal trading experience, I started with demo trading. Whenever I would learn something new, I would apply it on my demo account. I still have the same habit.

If you have sufficient knowledge of trendlines and all, you can surely begin with a demo account. This will only help you.

It’s good to know that you are having a good time trading forex. When I started my trading journey, I never did anything on my live account before testing it on my demo account. This gave me the confidence to risk my money and try out different strategies.
