ive started learning and im drowning. candlesticks, indicators, risk management, psychology, fundamentals, market structure, everyone says all of it matters but nobody says in what order. for someone starting from zero, whats the actual sequence that builds properly instead of just consuming random youtube videos forever?

]]>https://forum.forexroasted.com/post/1400https://forum.forexroasted.com/post/1400Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:40:00 GMTorder that actually builds: first risk management and position sizing, because it keeps you alive long enough to learn everything else. second, how markets move at a basic level, trend, range, support and resistance. third, one simple strategy you can state in two sentences. fourth, psychology, which only really makes sense once you have real trades to be emotional about. indicators come last and lightly. most beginners do this exact list in reverse and wonder why they blow up.
