'throwing a grand or 2 and see if you can make some money' is probably the worst way to start trading. You have to 'dry test' systems alot. If you found what works, dry test that system for at least a week or two each and every day.
When you are in the black (virtually) do it for real.
But the most important part: Shut off emotions. Emotions are the killer for your cash. 2 losses in a row? 3 losses in a row? Do NOT put more money at stake to 'win back the losses in 1 time'. Stick to your system at all times!
