something simple like understanding price action

When you get started with trading, make sure you set a goal for yourself, otherwise you are not going to be happy.  Also don’t make your goal ridiculously difficult to acheive, otherwise you are going to be extremely frustrated.  Trust me, if you think you are going to be rich by the end of your first month, you are going to be seriously disappointed. That’s not the way it works.  Start off easy.  Think about something simple like understanding price action.  When you do that, you can work your way up. When that happens, you’ve got a better chance of success.
