Hello Trevor, Hope all is well with you. I just want to start by saying that I'm still new to trading. I'm a very big advocate of the simulator and I wish I would have realized the importance of a simulator before trading real money. Depending on what your able to afford, the DAS simulator is awesome. I'd recommend diving right into it and keep watching ALL the modules by BBT. DAS to me was a little intimidating at first, but after a while of playing with the settings and following the advice given by BBT in the modules, you'll get it down. Then just practice trading different strategies until you find one that you like and just keep practicing. "Screen time" is necessary and crucial to your success. It trains your eyes and your brain to recognize the signals and patterns in the charts that you need in order to execute and manage your trades. After returning back to the modules with the screen time you obtain, everything will make that much more sense. BBT also has there own simulator as well which is a valuable tool, but DAS is way more powerful, plus it's important to get used to it if that's the platform you plan on using. As for trade ideas, you can just use the one they have on the chat unless you plan on plugging in your own parameters. Hope I've helped. Take care Respectfully, PJ Garcia
