Looking to setup paper trading, struggling to pick a platform and tips for learning paper trading while working
Hi, I’m looking to setup paper trading to give myself a couple months of consistent learning. I currently work from 6:30 to around 5 PM everyday so it gets a little hard to learn after long days but I’m trying to dedicate myself to learning and improving myself. Currently this will be a good side thing while I do hope to make it in the future, I know that’s currently not a realistic goal so I’ve pivoted to keeping this just a side thing. I’ve been interested in trading for a while just never pulled the trigger until this month. I’ve been looking around and it seems my Top 3 options are TradingView, thinkorswim, and Webull. Im worried about starting on a platform and then having to relearn another platform later for more options in terms of growing in the future. Would you guys have something like a pros and cons list or any tips on how it would be in the future after I’ve learned more?
Also, what are some books you recommend newbies read? I’ve started learning so far from AI Brooks, SMB Capital and Oliver Velez. I know videos aren’t the best all the time so I’m looking for books too possibly or even more reputable creators. Thank you, took me a while before I decided to post a comment after scouring the reddit.
