Been trading for a while but want to brush up on some fundamentals and maybe learn new strategies.
Most paid courses seem overpriced for what they offer. Looking for quality free content that actually teaches something useful rather than just basic theory.
Central bank websites have free meeting minutes and policy statements. Fed, ECB, and BOJ transcripts show exactly what moves major pairs. Most traders skip this - huge mistake. Investopedia’s forex section is solid for practical concepts without sales BS. Their risk management stuff is worth reading. Find a profitable trader on Twitter posting setups with actual reasoning. Follow their logic for months. Way better than expensive courses.
Myfxbook’s got solid free stuff focused on real trading. Their forums have traders posting live trades with explanations.
Bank for International Settlements reports helped me understand currency fundamentals. Dry as hell but you’ll get insights most retail traders never see.
ForexFactory calendar tutorials taught me more about news trading than any course. They show how economic releases actually move pairs instead of theory.
Demo trading different strategies while reading price action books beat structured courses for me. You can test ideas right away instead of just memorizing stuff.
Live trading beats any course. Just start small.
YouTube channels featuring successful traders are often helpful. Look for ones that share real trades along with their thought process, not just theoretical concepts.
Babypips is great for solid foundational knowledge without unnecessary details. The school section is particularly well-organized.
Broker webinars can be unpredictable, yet you might discover valuable strategy insights from knowledgeable traders.
Skip the courses - learn from actual market data. Most free trading education is outdated or too basic for experienced traders. Backtest your strategies on TradingView or MT4 historical data. You’ll learn more in 2 weeks than months of videos. Want structure? Read Mark Douglas or Van Tharp. Their books cost $20 and beat any free course I’ve seen. Improve your existing edge instead of chasing new strategies.
Jason Graystone’s beginner course covers the basics really well.
He gets into risk management and chart reading without dragging it out.
