@shiftingshares: Replying to @landlord380 I would always suggest to start slow. I trade UK stocks and swing trade these because this is the easiest marketplace to make money in. Lots of people who deal in it are just gamblers or buy tips from others so the bar for success is low. Also, stocks mostly go up so you have an underlying trend. With forex you’re competing against the brightest minds on the planet backed by huge computers and bankrolls. Anyone new should 100% avoid day trading. The shorter the timeframe the harder trading becomes. My biggest trades have been over several weeks/months. Hope this helps. Lots of free information on my site in profile.
