The #MarketDownturn really threw me for a loop. I’m only three weeks into trading on a cryptocurrency exchange, and I thought I'd give being a trader a shot.

Week one was all about learning how to lose money—I was down $25. In the second week, I figured out how to make some cash and pay more attention to details, ending with a $65 profit.

Now it's week three, and I’m back to losing money—down $72.

Do you think this is a good learning experience for a newbie?

What I’ve learned from the market drop is that you’ve gotta calculate your risk management before jumping into trades and take your time with it.

Every trade is a risk that you decide to take.
