I know one with a Ph.D. in finance... and one who learned on YouTube.
I prefer indicators that give me clear signals. I read the rest, but I don't operate it.
Good topic! For me the basics only serve to understand what not to touch. The technical is where I make decisions.

I'm an engineer, not an economist, and the logical approach helps me a lot, but it's not about training, it's about adaptation.
Thanks to this thread I realize that we all come from different worlds, but what counts is how we deal with the market.
Economics? Very nice to debate in cafes. On the chart it doesn’t matter.
I studied law, and with that I learned to be patient... which is just what pays you the most in Forex.
