Trading For Beginners – This Is Where To Start
So you’ve thought about trading. Maybe you’ve seen the hype online: people claiming you can “quit your job in 30 days” or “trade from the beach” with zero effort. Let’s be real: that’s gambling, not trading.
If you’re serious about building trading into a business — one that can fund your future instead of draining your bank account — you’re in the right place.
This is your A-to-Z blueprint for trading for beginners. Not a quick fix, not false promises, but a real roadmap that covers everything from opening your first account to running trading like a business.

Trading For Beginners – Step 1: Get the Right Tools (Don’t Wing It)
Before you dive in, you need a platform that works for you. Most traders use TradingView (yes, that’s the one I recommend because it’s simple, powerful, and beginner-friendly). It lets you chart stocks, practice on a paper account, and start building confidence.
👉 Already using TradingView? Perfect. If not, I’ve written a step-by-step guide on how to set it up properly inside the She Trades Shares Resource Hub.

Trading For Beginners – Step 2: Build Your Foundation
Forget chasing hot tips or following TikTok “gurus.” Trading success comes from:
• Learning technical analysis (charts, patterns, moving averages).
• Understanding risk management (so one bad trade doesn’t wipe you out).
• Developing the right psychology (patience, discipline, control).
This is where most beginners fail: they skip the boring stuff and jump straight into trades. That’s how accounts get blown up.

Trading For Beginners – Step 3: Learn to Read the Market
This is where technical analysis for stocks comes in. You’ll learn:
• How to spot support and resistance (the “floors” and “ceilings” of price).
• How to use moving averages (like the 50 and 200 day) to confirm the trend.
• How to apply Elliott Wave and Fibonacci levels to map out possible price paths.

Trading For Beginners – Step 4: Trade on Paper First
This is the “training wheels” stage. You’re not risking a cent, but you’re learning how to place trades, track performance, and practice discipline. Platforms like TradingView’s paper trading make this easy.
If you can’t make money on paper, you won’t make money with real dollars.

Trading For Beginners -Step 5: Treat It Like a Business
This is where most beginners never arrive. Trading is not a lottery ticket — it’s a business. That means:
• Recording every trade.
• Reviewing your results weekly.
• Knowing your risk/reward ratio before you enter.
• Building systems that take the guesswork out.
The goal isn’t just to win a few trades — it’s to build a process you can rely on for years.
⸻
You now know the broad strokes of trading for beginners. This blueprint gives you the road map, but it’s only a taste. If you want to go deeper into setting up systems, applying strategies step by step, and running trading like a business, the next step is building a solid foundation.
