The industry-standard economic calendar. Filter by currency, impact level, and event type. Set alerts for high-impact prints so you don't get caught in NFP.

Reference
BabyPips
School of Pipsology
The most comprehensive free forex curriculum on the internet. Twelve "grade levels" from preschool to PhD, with quizzes and a cheerful tone that doesn't put you to sleep.
CFTC
CFTC Forex Basics
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission's plain-English introduction to retail forex. Worth reading once for the regulatory perspective and the fraud warnings.
DailyFX
DailyFX — Education Hub
Free guides from IG-owned DailyFX. Strong on advanced technical and fundamentals; weaker on beginner pedagogy than BabyPips, but the analyst videos are excellent.
Investopedia
Investopedia — Forex Reference
Encyclopedic reference for every forex term you'll encounter. Heavy cross-linking makes it easy to fall into a productive rabbit hole.
