Course › Level 4 — Your first trade

Where to go from here

You made it — you now know more than most people who deposit real money on day one. Your roadmap from here:

1. 20 demo trades, full process, journaled. No shortcuts. This is your apprenticeship.
2. Grab the free Starter Kit — our Boom & Crash quick-start PDF plus the pre-trade checklist, delivered on WhatsApp, with new setups and lessons as we post them. Get it here.
3. Go real, but tiny. When 20 demo trades show you following the rules, fund a small account — $20–$50 is plenty. Real money trades differently (you'll feel it in your chest); small size keeps the lesson cheap. Deposits and withdrawals for your country are covered in our guides.
4. Keep learning in public. New tutorials weekly on the YouTube channel.
5. Much later: trade funded capital. Once you're consistent on a real account, prop firms will fund you with $10k+ of their money — here's how that works (and why it can wait).
