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.
