I remember trying it on a platform that offered a trial account with fictitious funds. I never learned how to trade; rather, I was just lucky the times I managed to make something, but I didn't manage to grasp the knowledge I wanted. It was just the typical “let's see what happens” approach.
Now I want it to be different, but I'll follow your advice and do it with little money. At least that way I'll gain experience to go for more.
Glad you're taking a cautious approach. Starting small with real money, even tiny amounts, forces you to feel the stakes and learn faster than demo accounts. Risk management is everything with perps—set stop-losses and don’t over-leverage
