Hello everyone,
I’m a working mum of one 1 year old, and am somehow going to find time to learn how to trade.
A friend recommended a paid course with “expert leaders”, but I thought I’d start with a non-pyramid scheme sounding place first 
Hoping to learn the basics, so I can start trading with confidence.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Good mindset. Take it easy, one step at a time, to see if FX trading suits you and your lifestyle. This great education site has all you need to learn how to trade properly. Once you are underway, open a demo account with a regulated broker.
Best of luck.
BTW - I would never pay for any marketing course. If they were that expert they would be trading instead…
Welcome to the community, @kaylpi. Good thing you didn’t start with the paid course. Save that money for when you are ready to trade live. Good luck on your fx trading journey.
