This first page of links is not just videos but also articles I found helpful to myself and maybe to others so I wanted to share the links. And not all the links are absolute beginner level. More like what I think are similar to "intro" courses in college. Starting lecture material but still foundational or core like intro to physics for engineers 1st course for example. I think all the majority of the links listed can be substituted for costly "intro to trading" packages , programs and courses touted by so many intro to trading dubious vendors and co-affiliate educational vendor organizations like DTI, OTA or TI. So it can help a new student to trading save a lot on the self-educating cost with all this free material. The regular size font links are mainly links to videos on the futures.io (formerly BMT) youtube channel. While the smaller links refer to free material outside of futures.io (formerly BMT). Admittedly I have not read fully all the links posted here, and these links serve also as notes for myself to refer back to or catch up on later.

Your welcome. Glad it helped. If I happen to come across other videos out there that can be helpful for beginning traders I'll post them too. Please feel free to also post here and anyone else.
