Paying for education

[Ahasca]

It's largely considered to be almost a necessity to pay for some kind of education if you are planning on becoming a stock trader. 
How many people have paid for some kind of trading education, either focusing in stock trading or in crypto trading.
Do you think it's helped you?
What was your experience through trading education either paid or unpaid?

[asyakashi]

You can learn for free by using various media.
to understand crypto trading you only need time to read and practice it gradually. or you ask in the forum and discuss directly on youtube. I never paid for it.

I have enrolled on a local stock trading years ago because I wanted to learn it.

Do you think it's helped you?

Yes, it was a good start on my end. I did know the basics that help me during my stock trading years.

What was your experience through trading education either paid or unpaid?

It was good but so-so I must say. Me and my friends had a good experience going through that 1 week seminar. I was fairly young then. But crypto trading, no, I didn't went on another learning curve, although there are a lot of difference, at least I have the foundation, I already read articles to supplement my knowledge to transition from stock to crypto trading.

[hoavantathan]

Yeah. That's smart plan. Knowledge is power. When i was newbie, i learned everything. Now i have some lessons and experience to see and analyse the market. From that i can predict the future.

[joshuarose]

I only pay for internet services, because I get free trade knowledge from my friends and from search engines like Google, there may be paid but it's through services like buying a business ebook and trading tips.

I paid for an options trading course once. It bored the shit out of me. I called up a dealer (this was pre internet) bought some options that sounded fun and then promptly forgot about them.

When I remembered I called up and they'd tripled in price.

What is the lesson? Not sure, I wouldn't pay for anything that's so widely available on the internet these days. Following the right Twitter accounts would teach you more than any paid course.

Will in my own opinion,crypto education are usefull but in order that we must pay to become a stock traders are fraud,because there is a free educate ourself by looking in youtube or other resources in obtain to become a good traders,therefore im not in favor,in paying  to become a successfull traders as part of educating ourself,because there are some generous person or investor who are willing to teach  as long as you wanted to learn about digital currency trading system.

Paying for education is good but how people understand and use it on the right way is also important. Some people chose school for education but another take challenge direct on the field, up to them. Knowledge is basic ( first step ) and second step is practice, as long they do that, understand real market is more easy. Trust me.

Availing of educational lesson from a professional trader might be worth of your money if you will plan to invest a very large money in the market since losing that amount is not a joke at all — could be a life-changing moment if ever. In short, committing a mistake is not an option.

But on the other hand, if you are only a small investor then I think your wit and common sense was already enough. You could just also rely on the opinions of other crypto investors who became successful already, on social medias or even on the research of your own. If you fail then that still be fine because aside from minimal losses only, you also learned a lesson which makes you a better investor. Considered not totally bad at all .

Plus it would also help you save you from trading all your Bitcoins away if you are honest with yourself from the beginning of your "trading journey".

I used to believe that I can make some extra money by "day trading" after my day job. Hahaha.

But it was not the style for me. Then I started buying the dip with a plan to "HODL" starting on June of 2016. I am "in the green" ever since.

It is not easy to become a trader, knowledge is needed to trade crypto, especially if it is in a large enough amount. But besides that we can find various kinds of information and knowledge on the internet even from the smallest things.

[Crypto Girl]

OP show also include the question of, had you already gain some decent profit after you enrolled yourself and study trading?
I mean obviously, you should apply what you did learn on the course and you already know the pros and cons so the chances of having losses will decrease and more on taking profit, isn't it?
Though learning through internet isn't a proper training unlike in enrolling in trading class but I think that's more idealistic and practical way since you'd save your money and you're being wise and strategic. Better to work smart than work hard.

[Indrawan77]

Its doesn't necessarily to pay to get the trading education there are a lot of free course on the Internet, but you will gained more when you learn from the professional, because you can get the clearer picture and you can get their experience and knowledge, I had paid to some site to learn and get signal for trading, it was ok, I made a little money, but I learn a lot of things, and it really helped for my next trading

These kind of education is improve the Technical analysis skills so they have improve the knowledge in trading platform. But paid and unpaid services are different from each other. Because unpaid services are available in Internet we don't concentrate in these service. My self paid service is good for anything and we should also participate in all the competition then we will become a good trader and expert in any platform.

[aoihs00]

I guess I am not the one who you looking for as I never paid for any education or service which will teach me about the trading yet I am good at doing it. I have followed simple steps of trading initially and have learn more complex strategies over the time just by doing it over and over again. Now this might look very much traditional line but I still believe in it and it works for me, I invest money, and if I loose it then study my technique and what went wrong with it so that I wont repeat my mistake again in the future. This has helped me a lot to save my money and time over the different trades. Believe me, you just have to be very simple trader to perform more complex methodologies.

I really haven't paid even once on trading and investing seminars. But I did tried once paying a forex trader that introduced to us a pro. We ended up losing overall and I lost nearly a thousand dollars too. Still the best way is educating yourself thru books and some good guides in the internet. All are free.

At this day and age, that you can even get yourself educated on certain subjects easily, I wonder why someone will want to pay so much for it. In this instance with trading, there are so many resources and free ones online to learn from and as long as you take your time out to research, you will find yourself doing better quickly in the trading profession before you know it.

Moreover, there must be that eagerness and readiness to learn effectively and the curb of any mindset of trying to rush things so as to start making huge money. Things do not work that way !

Iam one of those who has paid to acquire  knowledge on how to trade S&P 500 index  through online trading. I paid about $450 to learn from organizer of the seminar  for a week training. I trade on S&P 500 from the experience i gotten from the training though because of trading capital i could not make much out of the trading then. But I must confess that the ideas and what i learnt from the seminar is now handy to me while trading crypto. I am not a novice in some of the terminology of the cryptocurrency world based on what i have learnt then. I am not counting as a lose the money spent on that seminar. Knowledge once acquired remains dormant in the brain till the needs arises.

My experience was unpaid and thats because I learnt the trading first on demo platform like HitBTC and Forex 121 trades. The demo account is provided with huge number of coins and money so that you can put in whatever trade you want over the live data feeds. Now this is very important to know that though these were the demo account then also the feel is aways real about it because you are trading over the live data. I believe this is my education about it and it gave me nice learning as I was able to make different strategies of my own and when applied in the real live trade then it actually worked. This also increased the focus of my own over the trades.

My first contact with trade and learning was paid. It was like a pay before service thing but I like and enjoyed it because, it is like the basics I have now for financial independence and growth. The payment covered also other materials like journal kind of hand book and visual tap. It was a physical training.

However, I have since built on that foundation and developed a working strategy for my self.
