  1. And most among them: Get actual experience. Start with little capital (5% or 10% of actual allotment) & do actual investments/ trading. Nothing teach you better than your own success/ failure.. Trading books/ blogs/ seminars are important to make you wise & they are must before start. But actual learning curve starts only when you start actual game. Its something like learning cycling/ swimming in theory & then learning it actually on ground/ pool..
