What to look for in a forex trading course?

by John Templeton

If you are thinking about purchasing a forex trading course, you definitely have a seemingly infinite amount of choices to pick from. The are tons of courses from every particular kind of trader. It doesnt matter if you like to scalp the market, and buy or sell several times a day, or are a more long term position trader.

However, I am a firm believer that the number one thing that you should be asking yourself before you purchase a course is “what am I going to learn?” Is it just going to be the “same old, same old” that you hear about in forex trading communities or will the course go a little deeper an teach me how to have a stronger understanding of the market.

The problem nowadays is that the vast majority of forex trading courses just don’t do a good job of explaining why the markets move the way that they do. Instead most just give you some kind of generic system where you throw a bunch of indicators on your charts just to see what sticks.

There are so many things wrong with this that I don’t even know where to begin.

How about we start with the obvious, which is indicators are all lagging. If you don’t know what this means, all you are doing is trading off of what has already happened to the market, now what will happen to the market.

Unless you are day trading where you need to buy and sell quickly throughout the day, it is not necessary for most investors to have the exact real time prices.
