How to Start Trading and Investing in the Stock Market: Trading Stocks, Etf/Funds, Indices, Forex Currencies, Cryptocurrencies and Commodities: The Complete Guide for Beginners

Many people are afraid of the stock market. They find it very complex, technically demanding. Meanwhile, as far as investing and trading itself is concerned, it is almost as easy as buying goods in a store or e-shop. A completely average IQ is enough for the stock market, as Warren Buffet says, who earned more than 100 billion by investing. Many experienced Wall Street veterans claim that too high an IQ is even unsuitable for the stock market because an intelligent person often overcalculates things, sees things in complex ways and cannot empathize with the masses, often even simpler people.

The trading itself is as simple as buying goods in an e-shop and selling them on ebay at any time with a single click of the mouse. With the difference that you don’t have to worry about anything else, you don’t have to pack and send the goods, you don’t even have to look for a buyer, the stock exchange will take care of it all for you automatically. What may seem more difficult is the research itself, what to invest in and especially when, we will try to help you with this with our educational articles, indicators and models.

However, unlike classic trading with physical goods, the stock market also brings other benefits if the markets fall by using shorting – you can profit from the decline by taking short positions.

In our article, we will tell you what you can trade with. Who is a broker and how to choose a good one and what to watch out for. What are exchange/broker fees. What can be traded. What to watch. What is fundamental and technical analysis. What are the safe tools for beginners, what to invest in. Why pay attention to earnings reports. Why not buy from the beginning on leverage or use derivatives/cfds if you don’t have enough experience.

Let’s talk about what it is, for example:

Technical Analysis Technical analysis involves studying charts and indicators to predict future price movements. Technical analysis seems complex and mysterious, but it is much simpler. Many graphs and indicators act like instruments from NASA, but if we understand them, we will find that they are very simple. Just as we used to learn to read, to recognize letters and words and found it very difficult, if we remember it at all, we will find that reading graphs and indicators is similar. They just have to get into our subconscious and the brain has to learn to process them like letters, words and make sentences out of them. There are thousands of tools, approaches and indicators. An ordinary person has a huge chaos of them. We have tested hundreds to thousands of them, we understand how they are programmed and how they work. That’s why we relieve you of several years of wading in the swamps and searching in the chaos of thousands of indicators, settings, timeframes. We will show you the indicators and strategies that work well for us in practice and in backtests.

Fundamental analysis

Fundamental analysis includes the study of financial statements, company performance and economic indicators. It is important for long-term investing. Fundamental analysis includes hundreds of information, data and numbers. Not all of them are essential and you need to be able to filter out the most essential ones. The P/E ratio is far from being the most important indicator for many stocks. In our articles, we will tell you which information and fundamentals are important and essential to many of the big players on Wall Street.

Macroeconomic analysis

No less important is the macroeconomic analysis, which includes the analysis of the economies of the whole world, entire countries and their indicators. There are hundreds of indicators and they influence and complement each other. Which news is important and why can the markets react to the same news both coldly and positively (for example, in the years 2021-2023, the markets once reacted negatively to the usually positive news about the growth of the economy because inflation was high and the more the economy does, the more it usually grows inflation, and the ECB/FED tried to tame it at the time by raising interest rates, which means more expensive mortgages and a smaller inflow of capital into the markets, which can negatively affect stock growth. Everything is connected to everything)

Which indicators and news to focus on, which are essential? We will talk about that in our next articles.

We will also talk about what the fees are, what the spreads are. How to buy only fractions of shares if we do not want to invest in the entire share of a company that is expensive.

Trading the financial markets is becoming more and more popular, with many people looking to take advantage of opportunities to make profits. If you are a layman who wants to learn how to trade stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies and commodities, this article is for you. Let’s see what you need to do to get started, how to buy and sell, what to watch, where to trade, what are the fees, what are the taxes and what are fractional shares.
