Getting Started FAQ

How long until I should start live trading?

Minimum 4 weeks demo practice with one strategy + documented 55%+ win rate over 100+ trades. Most beginners need 8-12 weeks. Don't rush — losing $200-500 on early-stage live trading is the most common beginner experience and is avoidable through patience.

What's the single most important thing to learn first?

Position sizing (1-2% of balance per trade). More important than strategy. Without proper sizing, even profitable strategies blow up your account. Read /education/risk-management/ before anything else.

Should I follow YouTube/Telegram trading 'gurus'?

Mostly no. Most are affiliate marketers earning from your sign-ups, not from their trading. Read /scam-warnings/ and /quotex-telegram-signals/ before following anyone. Build your own skill from documented strategies (/strategies/ hub) rather than depending on signals.

What's a reasonable goal for first 3 months?

Goal: master ONE strategy on demo with 55%+ win rate over 100+ trades, AND make small first live deposit ($200-500) and maintain discipline. Don't target dollar amounts (they create pressure that destroys discipline). Target consistent execution; profits follow consistency.

Where should I start RIGHT NOW?

Right now: (1) Open free demo at quotex.vg; (2) Bookmark this site (quotex.vg/getting-started/); (3) Spend 1 hour reading /how-to-start/ + /education/binary-options-basics/; (4) Place 5-10 demo trades to familiarize with platform; (5) Schedule next session in 2-3 days. Skip rushing — slow learning is more sustainable.
