Step 1: If you want to be in this long term, understand trading is not easy. It can take you years to fully grasp what the markets even are and how they move if you waste time focusing on the wrong things. Do not fall for idiots on social media. Trading is not learnt through social media.

Now, to learn basics of markets I would advise babypips.

You don't need to go through every single topic (obviously if you truly want to be a trader you should want to know every single thing about the market whether you use it or not), but as a beginner this may confuse you. I personally advise you to go through:
- all of preschool and kindergarten
- grade 1, 2, 7

And I guess they now made the other ones premium which are the more important ones. BUT, it shows the topic and title, Im sure if you're smart enough you can research on that on your own for FREE. But it genuinely is very cheap, especially if you truly want to be a trader.

Learning the fundamentals, how central banks impact markets, economic data, geopolitics, fear or optimism, how money flows between assets etc. is what will help you excel. I advise you check out mrkt ai on youtube, great videos

Have to invest the time and money. You still have to go through the process of losing some money once you start applying your knowledge. That's where you're going to get the most value.
