How to get started investing?

[egear]

-What websites\Apps do you use?
I use the Think Or Swim with TD Ameritrade for stocks.
If you live outside of the US I suggest a CFD broker

-Any mistakes you made as a beginner?
Youtube daytraders

-What is a good starting capital to learn?
Any amount. You can start out paper trading for free

-Are there any patterns, do you follow the news about company's you invest in?
"Patterns" are for TA thrill junkies; the 90% of traders who lose money. Most news outside of SEC reports are just noise and a waste of time following.

I suggest taking a course at Welcome // Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management
Example of a course taken there:

What websites\Apps do you use?:
OptionsHouse (Equity), Meta Trader 4, TradingView, and Forexfactory (Forex)

Any mistakes you made as a beginner?:
Ego, not willing to listen/learn from people who were already successful, too emotional, didn't develop a good strategy, didn't back-test, didn't play to my strengths, didn't identify what kind of role I wanted to have in the market (type of trader/investor).

What is a good starting capital to learn?:
For Forex, you can start with $10 with some brokers. I personally started with $200-300. For equities, you want $2,000 - $3,000.

Are there any patterns, do you follow the news about company's you invest in?:
I mainly trade off of patterns (technical analysis/price action), but you should always be mindful about news, regardless of which market you trade in.

Firstly, I would take any money you are thinking of spending in the stock market and spent it on physical silver.

In the stock market, I would stay away from large corporations and buy mainly junior mining stocks. Sabina Gold is one that I have bought into. About 10% of my stock portfolio is in Sabina.

Thirdly, if you don't already, I would watch as much Max Kesier as you can including the Kesier report. He won't give you trading advice but he will certainly give you a clearer picture of the economy.
