I would pick only: "1. Would you still let yourself go ahead and start learning about trading?".
Even though I have been investing for over a decade, I rarely looked at my investments after buying and I knew nothing about trading. However, two years ago, I wrapped up a PhD and had extra disposable income. Both the need to fill a gap in my life with no real challenge and with the extra cash, I started to trade. First, it was equities as that is what I was used to. A little over a year ago, I moved into Futures and I love every second of it. I managed to lose some $$$ at the start (as most people do from what i can see). With much experimentation, I've developed a system that I am happy with, and now I'm breakeven. I've since started to learn Portuguese, to an additional challenge, but when I am not doing that or at work, I'm watching the markets for my specific setups, reading about trading, watching YouTube videos about trading....  I cannot imagine giving it up or telling my past self to not start.
