Been trading for a while but still feel like I lack some fundamentals. I’ve had a few good trades but also lost money due to simple errors.
I’m looking to take a course that can help me strengthen my knowledge. There are many options out there, and the prices vary a lot.
Which courses have really made a difference for you?
Honestly, most courses teach the same basic stuff you can find for free. The real learning happens when you start trading with small amounts and tracking every mistake you make.
What helped me more than any course was keeping a simple trading journal. Writing down why I entered each trade and what went wrong when I lost money taught me way more than expensive videos.
Your losses are already teaching you - just need to pay attention to the patterns.
Avoid pricey courses and prioritize understanding risk management first. Many traders fail because they mismanage their positions, not due to a lack of elaborate strategies.
Choose a simple strategy and focus on mastering it. I follow the same setup daily, which works because I have defined entry and exit points. The course industry thrives on making trading seem complex when it’s quite straightforward.
Learn from your losses instead of paying for someone to teach you what you can discover in the market. Keep tabs on your trades and analyze your losses; this insight is invaluable.
Paid courses burned me hard when I started. I dropped $300 on one that promised guaranteed profits and still blew my account the next month.
What actually helped was finding a mentor who traded live and showed real P&L statements. Not some guru selling dreams, but someone making actual money consistently.
That relationship cost me nothing but changed everything about how I approach risk.
Many paid courses repeat free concepts available online. Focus on: • Babypips for fundamentals • TradingView educational content • YouTube channels with verified track records. Test strategies via demo trading for 3 months before investing in courses.
Start small with real trades instead of expensive courses. $50 can give you insights.
