I somehow don't believe in Paper trading. This is totally my experience. During paper trading days, everything worked well for me, bcoz money was not involved and my emotions were in control.But, once real money gets into the scene, Greed and fear (driving the market) drives you. Take a position, and you look for news supporting your position. It never helped me.
I would suggest loan a good amount to withstand bad weather and trade with strict stoploss. Look for ur kind of stocks which moves very little. Initially, it is ok if you dont make any profit but you shouldn't make losses also.. Many trades with strict stoplosses and entering a position after a long thoughtprocess will help. Analyse few stocks , know their levels and then enter the market.
Wish you happy and profitable trading.
