I've not seen it discussed here, but has anyone taken a "trading course" and benefited from it?

dont. everything is out there for free and those who have profitable strategies like me would never sell them.
also start to read "Evidence-Based Technical Analysis: Applying the Scientific Method and Statistical Inference to Trading Signals "
thanks, I'll read it.
All I really wanted was something I could read and study on my own.
All these trading courses and masters classes you come across on social media are scams.
Basically, this guy takes any book on econometrics and the programs involved, then goes on to make a summary of that. Make some fancy videos of him with on the background some stock charts and acts like he is Warren Buffet.
Ask yourself, If you are an expert trader would you sell courses on the internet? No you would be working at GS or JPMorgan as an analyst making Benjamins. Or you would trade yourself and don't bother making online courses.
That being said, these classes are all shit and learn you how to 'trend trade'. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it.
Day trading is extremely risky and 77% (?) of the people on trading platforms in Europe lose more money than they make. They lhave to disclose this information on all their advertising. Do you think you are part of theat small minority that does make money?
Those are usually people who work in finance and do this on the side.
Why o you think people go to business schools to get a Master in Finance? Those online courses are trash. Trading is not just looking at some charts and press buy/sell.
What you need to be able to trade is proper experience, expertise and knowledge. People who work in finance have access to all the information way before you do, they have experience with how the market reacts and how it works and they have the skills to financially analyse a company.
So what o you think yourself? An online course made by some random goof is going to make you a trader?
If you are serious go buy actual books on finance and econometrics instead of wasting 1000$ on some bullshit course.
I don't care AT ALL about researching companies, insider knowledge, etc etc...
I just want to read a proven GOOD course about technical analysis trading. More than anything, I'm scared of reading a book that will actually fill my head with shitty ideas that will set me back.
>yo anyone take a course?
>>courses are scams
>can someone just recommend me a course I don't wanna read a book
actual retard
yeah after trading for 3 years with unsatisfying outcome i've taken one that cost me $2k and even though i knew much of the stuff already it really rounded up my knowledge and gave me a different perspective which has really improved my trading a lot.
i took ia a year ago and i would say over the last 12 months i woulod have made like 20k-50k without it but i've made slightly more than $200k and i would say it's not because the course helped me make more profitable trades but helped me reduce the unprofitable ones
now you're going to disappear, never mention what course, and leave the OP frustrated yet somehow foolish hopeful? Correct? Based if so.
they're all scams, even the OP, which i have personally briefly been a part of.
I'm using the "books" and "courses" interchangably. I just dont want to take a bad course made by a failed daytrader who needs some way to make money so he's pretending to have a working method.
How so? Pls elaborate. I thought it was the only good one out there

Pretty much every guru course is a scam. If you don't know what you're doing or arent knowledgable in the subject, then the only information that is actually going to help you is extremely base level shit you can get for free online. Anything more complicated is going to be lost on your and probably waste your money even more. Any "guru" consultant that actually has something of value to offer is going to be insanely expensive, otherwise it just isn't worth their time, because they're out there actually doing the thing not just shilling online courses.
Do you actually think if someone has a "foolproof system" (btw any wording similar to that is a huge red flag for a scam) that can "make you six figures in 30 days" (more red flags) or something like that is going to be offering that information for $100? Or even $1000? No, he's going to be selling those services for like $50k+ and mentoring harvard PHDs at giant trading firms, not targeting random ass people through a facebook ad. Or he's going to be actually out there doing it.
You see the catch 22 here? Learn the base level, easy shit first, become actually knowledgeable about the subject (in this case trading, figure out which kind of trading you want to focus on or specialize in, which markets you want to target, etc). Refine your focus, you aren't skilled enough to follow a bunch of trends in a bunch of markets all at once. Guru or not, you are going to have to become good at discerning between good and bad advice. Dont limit your knowledge to one source, read and absorb everything.
not going to mention the owner's name or handle to avoid giving them any attention, but course is a plagiarized version of materials from a group known as kewltech whom the course owner was never a part of, nor fully understood themselves when they were putting their course together. paying to trade along side this individual, you won't even get any kind of mentorship. they could rarely tell you where to put a stop, or would just be intentionally vague with any answer to avoid being wrong or simply tell you to "read the course" even though you were paying to learn from them.
that's this person to a T, but I never joined his course.. simply put I could never afford it and dont like giving money to assholes
I have the kewltech pdf but as I understand it's missing videos. I guess I should just study this material and the book mentioned.
I don't think I could EVER bring myself to spend thousands to learn someone's method.
that being said, the kewltech blog ramblings are kind of enlightening, but they should be used to more or less create a framework for your own style of trading. the analogy of buckets within buckets and tested vs untested is invaluable stuff.
>Dont limit your knowledge to one source, read and absorb everything.
Isn't it likely you may absorb bad methods from mediocre or struggling traders by absorbing everything?
there were no videos other than ones that were up on youtube of OP discussing a few things from their course. you dodged a bullet, but you shouldn't completely disregard the source material.
Should I study the kewltech material then? I'd gladly spend the time doing so if it'd atleast be good for a beginner.
i definitely recommend at least a one through of it. ramblings are a little incoherent and the spaztik section is basically indecipherable when you first read it, but that's probably the most important part.
read that and technical analysis of the financial markets by john j murphy and then just kinda grind away with a paper account somewhere. that's where most of the learning will happen.
This
could you guys share the kewltech material? I cant find it anywhere.
This
this work?

ive taken dopetrades course. the guy is an asshole and his first version was a bit sloppy but his technique works very well
What you should look into is rule 1 investing phil town gives free web seminars and teaches you to invest like buffet
Look up phil town and he has a great podcast called investED
Thanks fren, I'll check it out.
yes, his technique works and he's a good trader, but who wants to pay a thousand dollars to a retarded manchild for something you can potentially get for free? I would never in a million years desu
he's a paper trader btw.
>I don't wanna read a book
He didn't say this. You literally just took what he said out of context.
Fuck you.
Fake news.
