Start with a personal trading account on low risk, study for at least six months before going live, and develop your own quantifiable edge. Copying YouTube strategies like moving averages or MACD divergence won't work long term.
How would you start from zero in building trading as your career? So nowadays there are prop firms, but we have to put a huge disclaimer on the prop firms. So I will do 2 things to start. The first one is starting to build my personal account with a really low risk. The second one is getting a prop firm to have a bigger account to pour money in my personal account. But before starting this procedure, you need at least 6 months of study. And before starting, even the demo account, you need to get an understanding on how to build an edge. What's an edge? Why you need an edge to survive in this market and how you can measure the kind of edge that you have. Because if you don't know what's an edge and you just try to be profitable getting from YouTube the strategy with exponential moving average, with MACD divergence and trying to make money, I can guarantee you, you will fail. Maybe you can survive one month, but you will fail in the long term.
