    What advice would you offer a person who is new to trading?

    Forget about making money, your job for the next 2 years is to make mistakes, you are to make as many mistakes as possible. You are only allowed to have a stake size of $500 (minimum market parcel), you are only allowed to buy 1 parcel per stock, you are not allowed to sell losers for 2 years, if you can't afford to lose your entire stake go away and come back when you can.

    Extra TA questions
    linear charts
    bars not candles coloured based on previous close and preference to extremities not closes for trendlines/support/resistance

    Extra Extra TA
    Start with the highest timeframe available in your charting software, working from left to right mark horizontal line at every pivot high/low
    Drop to to the next highest timeframe and repeat
    Continue until you arrive at your desired timeframe
    Trendlines are only visual aids and horizontal support/resistance lines trump a trendline every time.
    Everybody understands the price they paid, double, triple, half, one third, 2 thirds, regardless of whether they use TA or not .
