Have dabbled in the past with FOREX but not on a consistent basis (https://futures.io/wiki/trading-wiki/Basis). Made some money, thought I was smart, lost some money, realized I wasn't. Figured I'd better get serious or get lost, got lost for awhile.

Advance to the present:
I found the first in the webinar series 'Where to Start as a Trader' (Jan 2012), can't find the rest. The topics were to be
○ Instruments and Brokers (Part 1)
○ Trading Platforms
○ Developing a trading style/method
○ Risk Management, Trade Management
○ Goals and Best Measurement Practices
○ Indicators, Signals and Automation

Was the rest of the series put together? They may have been retitled. Any suggested beginner's list on the videos?

Also, I saw some suggested threads on system development while browsing but cannot find them again. Can you recommend a place to go to begin developing a comprehensive approach from How To, to Who to Use, to Keeping Your Head Straight?

My current trading bias (https://futures.io/wiki/trading-wiki/Bias) is toward FOREX or E-mini S&P. Are there better places to get your feet wet?

Best to all,

I encourage you to read every single post. Virtually every rookie question has been asked and answered, at least from my point of view, and it should be more than enough to give anyone a very clear path to work towards.
