Hi, I was advised to get a series 3 study guide to learn the basics of trading. Do you agree with this? And if so where can I get one? Mind you, I am NOT interested in becoming licensed, I just want to learn to trade.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

You will get more knowledge here than in the guide and you can ask questions and actually get answers.
