Anyone started Bear Bull Traders without any prior trading knowledge?

Wanting to connect with those that started their trading journey with BBT, and that didn't have much prior trading knowledge beforehand.. Just want to find out how you found navigating through everything, where you are in your journey now, what helped etc etc, basically all advice would be so appreciated. On my previous post I kind of mentioned the steps I'm taking, but recently went through the Gap trading webinar and feel like guy that was teaching it may have well been speaking another language.. I made notes of additional things i need to research to understand, like for eg, I had no idea what an island pattern was. Almost feel like I'm sounding like I'm 'complaining' too much, I don't mean to, just thinking about everything I still need to learn and then piece together has been causing me to feel slightly overwhelmed -_-

I started beginning of 2020 after reading Andrew's books two times. First time didn't understand anything and leave it. After 3 months picked the book again. Read it and joined BBT. I never stopped since than although I had and still have rough times, it became my passion. There is nothing else which makes me wake up in the morning and spend hours learning and practicing without noticing how the time passes. Don't go into advanced webinars. You need to start with the introduction classes.  And slowly move to the strategies. You will not be able to understand everything, therefore you need to watch the videos many times, take notes and look into charts. This is something new for you and we as human beings we need time and repetition for the information to stick in our brains. This is just our nature. There is a chinese   proverb which says: I read and forget, I see and remember, I do and I understand.  I spent first 2 months watching and re-watching the videos, going through charts and just listening in the chat room. 

 Look at charts to see the patterns and candles which are explained in the classes. It takes time to learn the price action and you will not be able to trade any strategy if you can't read it. I know, I was also rushing for the strategies but strategies will not make you consistent unless you put the time to get screen time and practice. Your brain slowly will start put the pieces in order and day by day you will start seeing the things clearer and clearer.  For everyone takes different time. After an year I still didn't find any consistency in my trading although I already knew a lot and traded all the strategies. I was super disappointed with myself but actually I had unrealistic expectations. I expected from myself after one  year only to trade like a pro. No skill is mastered with one year only.  

I would suggest after you absorb the information from the basic classes, you know DAS well and set up you charts the following:

ABCD strategy - most of us can see this pattern. There are webinars and many videos in the community and BBT YouTube channel. ( if you like something else, start with it, find the webinar and search for YouTube videos in BBT channel)

The candlestick webinar, it will help you to understand basic candlestick patterns and will give you basics in reading the charts. After that search for them in  different charts until you can easily spot them.

You may want to do 3 things so this process does not frustrate u any more :

1.  Find and join a small sub group of BBT traders with mixed experience.....

2.  Keep asking questions

Good Luck
