None if you ask me. I never took any courses to learn about trading. Actually, I'm an active reader all the time and so, I visit websites, read articles on trading be it traditional or modern trading styles, perfected myself in trading by focusing and winning the most important feature that's needed to become a successful trader, i.e.; patience. Another thing is, you don't need any courses to learn about trading but your experience is what matters here, if you have been sitting way longer and just watching the charts, then you're doing nothing. You need to do it practically (Thank God we've got some practice accounts too for that), see where you profit, where you lose, note down your mistakes and don't repeat them.
Exactly! you made some fire points here!
Good to hear that you are doing fine, In my case, I don't take any courses online I just watch youtube videos and read blogs. I also watch projects developments and announcement on social media. To be honest I only knew the basics I am not a full-time trader either. I prefer to be called investor I guess
I buy coins on exchanges and then hodl it on wallets for a period of time. I am not doing buy and sell or short or long now and then I am just waiting if my capital gets doubled or more. Of course I suffer loss also.
Thats great.
I used to buy coins and hodl back in the days not until projects absconded with my money
If you really want to make money not only in the crypto money markets but in all markets in general, you should always take care of your development. You can't really make money by watching a certain number of courses or training videos, you need to constantly refresh your information and be up to date. Of course, in order to start making money, you must have received many training beforehand, but to continue this event, as I wrote in the previous sentence, you must constantly improve yourself and adapt to the market with current information.
Taking courses IMO just makes you leverage off others experience thereby cutting out the time taken to learn some lessons the hard way.
I am still in the learning process and still taking courses. Consistency with what you are doing is very important no matter how many courses you take if you dont practice it will be difficult for you to make progress. Practicing what youve learnt is very important
Fire point bro!
I take courses that suits my trading style and strategy. (price action)
Forex courses- Wall street Academy

- Nial fuller (He teaches market structure; also on youtube)
- KobenFx
- Day trading Lab (Raul gonzalez)
- IML (started off here, this is where i learnt the basics. Then i left after some months due to the payment system)
I'm amazed that you take these courses as part of building your trading journey.
Self-learning is enough but it will take time and in your case, you really push it. I want to suggest to create a separate thread about these courses but since it was a form of marketing, as it was a subscription, maybe much better if not. Those courses might help a newbie that also wants to take subscriptions and willing to pay online courses as it's really hard for others to do self-study as they really need a mentor.
Your efforts will be soon rewarded. You gained much in your whole trading education and what left is to apply it continuously on the market.
There is a thread on where to get paid courses for free

It depends on the person if he can afford to join courses that will help him improve and enhance his skills in trading, maybe he is a full-time trader that's why he need to become better with trading. In full-time trading, it really requires you to have skills and proper technical analysis for you to minimize and prevent huge losses.
For me, if you can't afford to enroll in a certain course about trading, then don't. Instead, there are online videos, or tutorials that will help you improve your trading quality, it's free and you can practice it so that you'll know if it will become effective in an actual trading.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251361.0The courses are good because they can teach a beginner how the markets work and different terminology. Basically nobody knows what "shorting" means or "margin" or "options". There are many courses out there that are easy to learn and will teach you all this stuff. They also teach different indicators like moving averages or support/resistance, however these courses only take you 5% of the way.
You need to complete the other 95%. Basically its a tough game out there. You are a small fish in a ocean full of shark. You are against whales who are smarter than you, got more money, more experience, better computers, more insider knowledge and everything. They will take your money like they took 99% of all the traders before you. You either learn to adapt to their games or you quit after a few months.
I need to jot this down.
Great point here!
I don't take any courses, whether it's local or online courses, because I see that the course is paid, and I don't have more money to pay for the courses. I decide to search on the internet, which can give me so many good trading lessons. I learn from some of the lessons on how to trade with the right. And now, I still learning by watching some videos on Youtube because I feel that I need to know more about trading to improve my skills in trading so I can have a chance to make more money.
You should be careful if you want to go with the paid course because not all course can give you what you want, and you should search for yourself so you can get what you need.
You won't get to use everything you get in a course. You filter what you need. Whatever fits into your trading strategy.
