For beginners, I found "Currency Trading for Dummies" really helpful; it breaks things down nicely. There are also great YouTube channels that offer free tutorials. Personally, I’ve used www.weltrade.com for trading, and their platform is user-friendly, making it easier to practice what you learn. As for courses, I think it depends on your learning style. Free resources are solid, but a structured course can save time and give you more depth. Focus on risk management and technical analysis; they’ve helped me a lot!
