Hello, I started playing  fortress mode but after a while I gave up and started playing in adventure mode, but then i decided to try again in fortress mode, now things are going well , but the immigrants arrived and I never had received  immigrants before and I do not know how to handle with them, by now I've just left them alone

You should move this to the fortress mode forum.

But what I typically do is check each migrant as they arrive, anyone with a usable skill that I don't already have enough skilled workers in gets assigned to it.
Otherwise they're drafted to the military, or used for hauling.

Any of them with combat skills= drafted to a squad, all others= hauling, until I have enough haulers, then I put them into a suicide special forces squad and send them into the caverns.

Even though this should be in the fortress forum what I do is
If the guy has 7 or more of a type of skill he works in that skill if its lower then he gets sent as a hauler if he has a high combat skill instant draft into the military for training

Well, I discovered that the immigrants were a minor problem  , but now a new problem appeared with the arrival of traders , I do not know how to negotiate with the caravans, I think this should be an easy thing to do but I am a "newbie" and the newbies often ask these things that all players know,  :-\I think ...

That'll explain the basics.  Use Q to interfact with buildings, and follow the keys listed in the interaction section.  You need to movee goods to the trade depot first, before you have anything to trade.
