Dear forum members,

I have currently a BR of around $1,000 and I just registered for the trial version. I had a look at the different options BA offers, but one question is not answered.

Where should I start?

Obviously my goal is quite paradoxal - at least in the world of trading - earn as much money as possible with the least amount of risk included. What would a good start be? I have a background in professional poker which seems to be very good. It allowed me to get to know myself, my limits - and ultimately - I know what it is to experience swings and emotionally detach myself from them.

What should my point of departure be - and my direction? What can I expect to earn on a daily basis taking this path?

I see a forest of opportunities, but I cannot find the first tree to cut.


Many thanks!

Be selective. Choose a sport you understand.

Just to add to Steve's comments..
Click on "Tutorial Videos" to the right of the screen, lots of good info in there..
Also use the Practice Mode for a week or so until you grasp the idea/concept..
Good Luck!

There are so many avenues to pursue it's best to try and settle on something you can relate to or have an interest in and then build out from there.

The only thing I'd say is similar to poker is that all the big players like to hold their cards to their chest so if you are doing anything before an event all the talking money arrives quite late.

I'll go ahead with Steven's advice which is to choose a sport that you love to start things out.
