Take your time wave. No hurry. Also, as long as discussion is healthy there is nothing to be apologetic about. We all are learner no matter how far one gets in the world of trading.
Now coming back to your thought on "learning is a slow process.... how to start.. where to go etc.."
Let me give you an example.. Is becoming a doctor a slow process ? What about engineer, a CEO in a company, or a sceintist etc ? What about having an established business such a shop, mall, resturant, real estate business ? Nothing is fast right.. all takes its time and if one tries to hurry up, might fall flat on itz face.
So the point is that you have to consider Trading as any other profession in the world. It takes time.. trust me. I'm telling from my own experience as well as what I have heard or seen others doing. If one is starting from scratch, it will very easily take 2-3 years minimum to become consistently profitable.
If you want to become a doctor, you cant say dt it takes years of study and pratice.. I can just watch some youtube video on how to do heart surgery and read a few books and start operating people. You know what is the end result of it.. right.
Similar is trading. Give it time.. take things slow and steady. Take one step at a time
Now how to go about it :
First step is dt don't get bogged down. There are tons and tons of things to learn and if you see them all as huge mt everst to climb, u will feel disheartened. Take one step at a time. There are many threads here in TJ itself. Go to basic section... read each of the starred threads first. Understand them apply them. Most of them are very basic foundation. Once you understand, you will know your next path. Just continue the journey and dont look back.
One thing I must tell you that don't be in hurry to make money (either by directly jumping to trade on your own or on someone els'es advice) because 99.9% chances are dt you will just burn a hole in your capital.
All the Best !!
