    Not caring for the money is nice because you can fully concentrate on the technicalities of the game. Which is building up, improving and repeating an edge, plan or routine.

    The money is just a derivative of your ability to trade the market and manage your trade. Money / Risk management is simple once you have an edge.

    ForexFactory does the job.

    The only education are charts and trading itself.
    Maybe the The Market Wizards book series.

    Jesus made the Bible but the Bible won’t turn you into Jesus :D

    Maybe you can familiarize yourself with backtesting platforms. TradingView provide hands on backtesting and it’s pretty easy. You can ask ChatGPT for pine scripts if you don’t know how to program.

    Not telling you to turn into a quant but testing simple things here and there might be eyes opening sometimes.

    I do not have a full strategy built yet, but will attempt building one over the course of this journal. We will see what works and not through trial and error as I am a beginner .

    Forex Factory is all you need for calendars. Quick, cheap (I.E. free), effective.

    Smart beginners trade the most volatile e-mini, not the worst. The ES is not slow pitch softball. It's a newbie steamroller.

  7. Hi @Overnight

    I just finished making burgers with smoked gouda.

    Lord help me.

    Gouda has no place on burgers. Only cheddar or American. I weep for your grilling future.

    The only true substitute for no cheddar or American on the burger is double glouster.

    Does not sound optimal. Stockbee has some good educational materials. https://stockbee.blogspot.com/ Even if you are not trading stocks, he has some good info on trading process that you may find helpful. Plenty of free Youtube videos.
