The key for grassroots traders is to step on all the necessary pitfalls in as short a time as possible. Once you've stepped on most of them,

then see if you can find a trading system that suits you.

Trading is very tough in the early stages, very mundane in the middle, and in the later stages it can even become boring or a bit empty.

During my newbie phase, I read a lot of books,

tried every indicator, learned about the logic behind them, and traded extensively at the same time.

In the middle stage, after trying various trading methods through a lot of trading in the early stage,

I gradually found a trading method that suited my personality.

Now, in the later stage, it's just constantly repeating the actions of opening positions, observing, closing positions, observing, opening positions, and observing again.
