A question crossed my mind,how professional traders learn trading?
Is there any kind of education to this?If no,is there a specific wiki to learn trading online (like openclassroom for programming for example)
Thanks

Why the hell would someone open a trading school/university? Trading is related to market and economics. So you will need to know the basics of the economics and market in order to understand how to trade. You can google and learn how to trade to make profits. Lots of youtube channels and blogs are out there to help people trade.

I don't know about any courses dedicated to crypto trading, but there are indeed many courses regarding trading forex etc..

I personally have learned about different kind of indicators and technical analysis in general from this site : http://www.fxacademy.com/

There is also a paid course from investopedia, but it was too expensive for me as a noob : https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/08/forex-trading-courses.asp

I guess one can learn about the various methods used in technical analysis and implement the same in crypto trading.

Well,as any job/profession it requires skills right? So it's not just about market and economics it's also about how well the trader is trained and how much experience he have.Schools/universities would be a great way to build traders experience without exposing them to money loss.
I'll check that out.thanks

I have not heard that there are schools that offer lessons about trading crypto or forex. even I was surprised there are successful traders do not finish high school. they taught themselves and are now successful people.

This medium article lists a few options for learning about trading (presuming you're talking cryptocurrency?), and there are also some great YouTube channels that will point you in the right direction.

When I started getting into trading I followed these channels, great for beginners and not annoying (as some of the channels can be).

Plenty more out there, and google is definitely your friend.

But they do, sort of.  I knew someone who took some sort of course on day trading years back--but it wasn't at a traditional university or anything like that.  He took a privately-run course on trading stocks and then he had to buy or rent some sort of software package that was proprietary.  This guy was a true gambler, though, and thought he could make millions.  I don't know what happened to him.  He wasn't exactly a friend.

OP, be wary of people who try to teach you trading skills because they're the ones usually making money from the teaching and not the trading.  I'm skeptical of offers for this sort of education.

I took a course in corporate finance in college, and I found it fascinating.  I could see how someone who wants to trade for a living would learn an enormous amount from such a course--but I don't think many (if any) universities actually teach courses in straight-up trading.  You either do fundamental or technical analysis, and I really don't know how either of those are learned outside of a degree in business or experience.

Hopefully there is a school for it mate, but the school I've known for financial system is a business management. If we talk about tradings or something related to financial management is of fiat business managements, and it involves trading of physical goods. With cryptocurrency trading the learning that you may acquire can be based by experiences which can be leaned online, as to actual trading discussion with friends whose also a trader. It can be done one on one chats with a group of people whose also actively doing same trading job.

No they are not the same. There is basically 2 types of categories here

1) Economics or Finance degree from a college or University. This is generally a bachelor or master or PhD degree from an acreditted college. This is at least 4 years and maybe some undergrad even.

This degree won't teach you anything about trading. They don't teach TA here, it's not their goal.

Only way how they would learn to trade is if they got offered a job at some prop firm or trading desk at a bank.

2) Online or Seminar trading course

There are basically thousands of these courses found online and even locally. Basically they promise "Make millions without leaving your house" and they generally range from a $5 simple eBook to a $25000 local seminar course.

They basically teach the basics and the rest is up to you. Most likely 99% of people taking those courses lose money. Only 1% or so might survive and make good money.

In my city there are some professional trader open class room for beginner trader and this is good thing to increase knowledge about trading strategy and to manage psychology of trading. Here alot of people interesting to know how to make money in trading, and they will pay monthly for that education. But others trader also learn about trading by their self and just learn it from google or youtube because they can not pay monthly cost for that education.

I don't heard a legal school or university teaching about trading cryptocurrency.
But I heard some seminars about it just a small group of people they also offer something like they called crypto academy.
but i'm pretty sure that you don't need them. Youtube and google got your back especially bitcointalk forum.
Try to find some friends that are engage into crypto and sharing some ideas and learn together that's what i'm doing now.
I'm slowly learning everyday.

Yes there is, but requires a ot of money so enrolling would be a waste when you can use it as your capital, why not study on your own? there are many free videos out there and visit investopedia.com for great resource.

I would simply say, experience is the best teacher, these good traders we see everywhere were also new  someday.
We can also be like them if we learn constantly.

LOL there is schooling for finance with investment course, or crypto-related program coming out
it doesn't matter even if you have no such qualification background, while you can learn to observe the market before you start the trading.

I had some trading stuff in my university course but it mostly was just basics that explain how market work and how people are making money on it. I'm not sure if any university have any decent course (maybe some financial ones teach people how to trade stocks, dunno) but to start trading you have to pass some course anyway. You should never re-invent a bicycle.

It mostly depends on the level of the studies. You shouldn't be a good trader to explain someone most of the trading stuff. Trading is more about making your own decisions.
I've seen people that were experienced traders promising that you will be able to make 300% profit after their course. Despite they definetely are good traders that was an obvious bullshit.

Just go to any school and major in Economics. If you're able to take some classes at a community college, go for it. You'll probably be able to learn a bit about what you're investing in and how to invest better based on how the markets move. There are numerous different types of Economics, so make sure you go into the right field. You'll likely be able to find online courses on particular topics on youtube or even some sites like udemy and pluralsight. For example, on just a simple search I've found this interesting course that has a 4.0 rating on Udemy.

Just take a look around; there should be enough free material online to go through!

trading and all the things you can learn about it such as from the links that were posted so far and topics such as Technical Analysis,..... and a lot more are not exactly scientific which means you can not really rely on them and you definitely can not start a school for something that is not even a real science.
there are concepts in trading that mostly cover economics (for example the most popular thing that everyone talks about is supply and demand) but it is covered in economics and those courses not a "trading" course.

Actually there is a subject called Economics in college, and it is one of the subjects that tackles marketing to be specific.
Now, if you really want to master the art of trading. I think you need to start trading today. Make it a habit, you will learn the fundamentals and techniques, but it will take some time. Remember, experience is a great teacher.

you should find economic universities to learn about trading. then you study a block-chain course. in the future it will be more block-chain course appearance

Yes there are professional courses out there that teach you how to do TA and follow trends in order to make the best buying decision. Learning trading isn't just about doing concepts, but it also requires a person to have a stable personality. If you're someone who easily freaks out over small losses, kindly stay away from this world.

Setting up a trading university will, sadly, be a waste of time just like we have departments of economics in various tertiary schools. This is scholarly engagement and does not translate to practical reality. Money issue is a practical thing. Remember, Professors of economics aren't among the richest people in the world even though they teach the subject matter.

Trading is a practical and not a theoretical engagement. Trading does not really demand that long stretch of time to get it right. What it requires is constant practice and confidence in one's skills and trading plan. There could be trading seminars and symposia but not a university.

I guess there is not a university or school who made a curriculum about trading, trading is a part of economic science most likely just take up how to make everybody's economy improve by trading but the specific way is not as specific as possible. But for trading as in forex, I was once offered for private tutoring and he opened tutoring for people who want to learn about trading but not an agency. If you want to learn how to trade, youtube has many people who explain how to trade, especially trading in cryptocurrency. Now is digital era you can easily learn whatever you want without having to spend money, just an internet connection that you need.

Yes ! I already heard or saw on some news in telegram channels and social media sites where some country have their own school exclusive only for students that wants to learn how to use and trade cryptocurrencies. I think it is somewhere in Asia, maybe Japan or China, these two countries are outstanding on making new cryptocurrencies and engiging their life unto it. Cryptocurrencies is now very popular in the world, that's why it is okay for some countries to established schools for crypto trading.

Come to India and you will see plenty of them are there. However they are NOT schools or universities but they are private coaching classes started by the expert traders out in the field. Here trading is something very critical to everyone and the people will always try to find passive income source as the stuff around us getting too costly these days to live. Because of this demand many expert traders have started the coaching classes as an opportunity to earn for themselves. Some of them do have great publicity here while some of them are just very shit one.

so far I have never heard of a trade school, but if it is true then there I think to follow the school required a very large cost or may not be affordable for the bottom.

I am not trading school trading, I can trade bitcoin by reading read and also I am assisted by my friend, and finally I can trade in bitcoin, all would be able to trade can have intention and also often read read, never lazy to learn .

Online study would be enough for you in basics. Basically we're already being taught by these kinds of ideas in our middle school, like the Economics class. I think you already know the law of supply and demand. With those basics, you already know how cash circulates around a closed economy. The trades, values, exchanges and most of all the currencies, they all became part of my economics class except that this crypto trading is a bit different but the concept of it is quite similar with just being a little bit technical.

There's a program or something like seminars and events but not a literal physical trading class.

How professional traders learn trading? Effort, eagerness and experience. All of them starts as a newbie but their determination and experience teached them how to be a good trader while on process of advancing. No need to undergo on a training school if you really want to learn trading.

Basic knowledge is enough. Advanced knowledge can be learned automatically on the way.

As I know, there is no school or colleges for trading, but recently one versity add bitcoin book in their syllabus. Every Trader learns to trade by spending many times, loses, and by traders. If you want to learn a deal then at first listen experts signal, then read articles, every day try to visit coinmarketcap and research about the market volume, coins price chart and all things related to coin. Follow experts website, articles. Search on google how to start a thriving trade, read successful traders life story. Only you can learn good trading; sometimes you will sometimes lose you will make good profits. But those are related to trade. I would like to recommend you to not search for a trading school or colleges, try by yourself. Good Luck.

I believe that theres a university in US i guess that teaches cryptocurrency as a subject but i forgot wheres the reference,though specifically mentioned that only crypto and not trading..

I personally learn trading in some of my friends,and some videos on youtube but the most special thing is your willingness and desires to learn that would motivate you to be a skilled and best daytrader

They learn trading by themselves thru self study. They have done research and succumb all of the knowledge they need in order to become a professional trader. Some joined in the group of traders. Some needed a mentor/s in order for them to become a professional.

I think there are some websites that gives some information relating to trading (candlesticks, indicators, etc.)

Me either I didn't heard any school of trading today but trading I guess is already taught in the college courses like more on business courses. Well it's just my own idea I'm not sure but if it does have a school of trade I'll be glad to sent myself on this school because I wanted to get more knowledge about trading to improve my trading skills.

Many stock market person are easily educatw our own. Because they are all expert in analytical skill so they know to choose the right platform in right time and Crypto market is really difficult to predict the future so some peoples are failed also possible but it is one kind of experience. I think own educate will useful to understand the trading others are not fit for the trading platform.

if for now there is still no school that teaches trade in duia crypto. because the crypto reach to the community is not very big so if the future it can happen in the school about trading in the world of crypto

for now it seems like I've never heard of any trading school especially crypto, but if it does exist it will change the world of commerce with a definite understanding.

I think some people are conducting online course for trading but I never heard about crypto trading courses in university but it will be great if we have course related to crypto because it is going to be the future of currency system so we can have great knowledge if we learn about them at initial stages.But successful in trading can be reached only through experience in my opinion.

I think the answer is too obvious, it is common knowledge that it will be a waste of money if someone started a university only for trading. Well, most traders are learning by themselves through reading or watching tutorials.Actually ,there is no need for a school to learn trading, you just have to go from the basics and you can actually learn it by yourself, only if you have the dedication and will to learn. If you want to learn, I suggest reading books about trading, there are many books about business and investment in bookstores, I just dont think if there are anything related to cryptocurrency.

Why we still need it if we already have our own way here for us to learn trading even here in forum a lot of information thread that would teach us in how to do trading even in youtube and in some social sites in free training they just wanted to help you.

As of now I have not heard of any school or university specifically designed for imparting knowledge or training to the students in trading or investing. I guess, trading is not a entirely different concept which needs any schooling or something. It’s about market and economics. Once who study and know about these fully can trade successfully. But yes I have heard that some schools are including cryptocurrency subject as a apart of the syllabus.

Education for traders exists, but it is no longer a state but a commercial organization. Here a lot depends on the country in which you want to study. Use better online courses, they are not as expensive and more informative.

yes I am still a school at a trade university, and I am still in the learning stage
