The democratization of Internet use in Western households has had a major impact on the process through which investors manage their savings...
The First Steps
Each investor has to make a series of decisions that will affect the type of market, the term, and the volumes with which to enter. Each saver is different, but we all have a specific level of risk aversion: those who are more conservative will have to consider products with reduced fluctuations, very calm, and in which volatility is conspicuous by its absence.
Meanwhile, those who can assume certain levels of risk will be able to access a wide range of products that are very much in vogue today: the stock market, the options and futures market, the foreign exchange and virtual currency markets, and the famous cryptocurrencies.
The Necessary Training
Once we have decided on the markets to enter, we have to train ourselves in such a way that we can maximize our profitability while minimizing risk. To do this, the different online financial platforms make available to their users a series of tools that can help us learn the modus operandi in each market.
These tools will help us minimize the impact of the learning curve, which will mean that as we advance in our training, we will be faster in acquiring concepts.
Simulators, the first of these tools, are great for learning how to buy each product and what the most important milestones are in the contracting process. They have an advantage over definitive purchase tools: our money is not at stake since virtual money is used, so we can operate as many times as we want without fear of losing ours.
From there, we must read the financial news so that we do not miss any news: specialized user forums, influencer blogs, specialized magazines, and salmon newspapers. This will help us discover the signs or insights, small details that will allow us to enter or exit a market before the rest of the investors, which will mean achieving above-average profitability.
The Deadline Is A Very Important Factor
In addition to risk and products, we have to decide in what period we will move when investing: there will be savers who are more comfortable in short operations, even with entry and exit on the same day, and there will be others who prefer to operate long. term, in operations that – although they have less volatility – ensure an attractive average return.
Each investor has a different profile and must act accordingly. Not leaving the comfort zone in which each person feels comfortable will be a great step to being able to operate in new markets with the greatest guarantees.
