Where to start?

Figure out what/how you want to trade.
Daytrade? Swingtrade? Investing?
Forex? Stocks? Futures? Crypto? Options?
Indicators? Support/Resistance? Fundamentals?

Go to youtube and search for things like "daytrading", "swingtrading", "support and resistance trading", etc...

Watch small portions of several videos to see if anything looks interesting to you.
After you find something that interests you then watch more videos all related to the same style of trading.
What works for someone might not for the next person so only YOU can find what works for YOU. Some say indicators don't work but one of the best daytraders I've seen uses MAs and makes millions yearly for many years. I've also seen some very good supply/demand traders.

Learn "Price TA"... best chance you got.

"Buy Support
Sell Resistance
Chase Breakouts
Trade With Stops"

Anybody who tells you different is either a fool or a charlatan trying to get some money out of you.

If you look at the old P/L threads, there were some pretty amazing numbers. Some folks were well into the 60's, and they were hugely profitable traders. But some are at 70% and they couldn't trade their way out of a wet paper bag.

My suggestion, since you began your quest in 90's and you still are nowhere, this venture is not for you.
Too much half heartedness.
Futures is predominantly short term trading, that's more difficult to begin on than longer term.
But anyway, you're too wishywashy for trading imo. :)

I think you misunderstood: when I said I first started learning about futures in the 90s, I didn't mean that I kept it up for the past 30 years. I gave it up not long after I started because I was a naive, broke 26 year old college student thinking I could get rich overnight trading futures. Now that I am more mature and level headed, I am much more aware of the risks and complexities involved.
