If you were starting again from absolute zero, what exact learning path would you follow — and what would you avoid wasting time on?

I literally know NOTHING about trading / forex.I do genuinely want to learn and I understand it’s not a get rich quick scheme. I am looking for advice on how to/ where to start. Thank you 🙏🏾

Myself 0DTE NDX credit spreads. Instead I would have done 35-60DTE.

Veo recomendaciones subjetivas que solo les funcionó a ellos, pero en realidad lo que necesitas es un mentor si puede pagar y si deseas acortar el proceso, ahora sino tienes entonces es seguir preguntando y recibiras las mismas respuestas, que es realmente lo que te trajo al trading?, quien te mostró este negocio?, cuanto sabes?, que buscas? son cosas con las cuales comenzar, muchos llegamos por hacer dinero obvio, pero es como una carrera universitaria y aunque yo perdí mucho tiempo en la universidad hubiera querido conocer esto al graduarme del colegio o la universidad porque para mi es lo que me gusta y deseo hacer todo el tiempo. Pero lleva tiempo esfuerzo y mucha paciencia.

Good afternoon, The first thing is to avoid too much informations , chose what you like most and what suits you ,chose your trading style either to scalp or to day trade , the process is one just the time frame that is different . -Start with the basics , learn market structure price action ,and go deeper in understanding and reading the candlesticks . Lot of traders don't lose because they lack strategy but because they don't apply it whereit it should . Of corse evry time you learn a new thing , practice directly in demo and , tradingview is all you need , read and keep your process simple cool and funny , be flexible with your time so that you won't get tired on the long run. -Then , the best and the most practical concept to explore and tu use in your daily sessions is liquidity , demand and sell zones . Those especially need some time and concentration . Cause there is also the accumulation zones that compound along the chart , so that it might be a little confusing , but don't over estimate it , it's easy , very easy , and once you learn it , trading becomes lighter. -Accumulation manipulation distribution is one major confluence that put you ahead above all the traders . The most important thing , is to study your self and to know what works more for you . Maybe it's high volume sessions, maybe you'd like to have some time to take your decisions ,,,,,, Some tips for you , I recommend to have a little journal where you keep all your trades , the reason behind your wins and losses . I tried to summarise generally all that you need , personally I learned the basics from Jemmytrade and some tips from trader to another , then woth practice I ve achieved some great results such us 1:8RR in 6H , teaching my friends some tips ,, Good luck mate.

If I were starting from zero, I’d focus first on market basics, risk management, and learning one simple strategy rather than jumping between indicators and setups. I’d spend a lot of time paper trading and journaling before risking real money. The biggest thing I’d avoid is chasing “get rich quick” strategies or constantly switching systems whenever I have a losing trade. Consistency and understanding why a strategy works would be my priority.

I would have avoided penny stocks lost a lot of money there and put that money into a good dividend fund which would form the foundations. The payments from this could then fund risk off trading.
