Hi Everyone,

I am a beginner but I have spent the last couple of years studying about various markets and price charting techniques.

You cannot imagine my disappointment when I lost all my investments in one week when I tried trading the deriv synthetic indices on MT5 app. The generated price chart failed all TA I subjected it to on many counts.

I will be glad to receive professional guidance on what instrument to start trading as a beginner and how to recoup my loss smartly on Deriv.

Thank you.
