start with shares, leave the leverage until consistant profit from share trading .. expect the process to take a number of years .. and expect to fail a number of times and remember that most people fail at trying to be a trader ..

To be fair the stats of failed traders are about the same for any small business.. 70/80% of small business fail. The reason is always the same, It takes more time, more money and more effort than most expect.. Simons right take the time, save the money and put in the effort...Good luck and tend slowly..

and don't underestimate the effort involved in getting it right, i.e. learning how to take the emotion and reams of useless & false information out of your trading
