After taken some courses, reading from online books about trading or watching YouTube videos, you will still have to find what works for you, create your own strategy, I believe each traders have their own strategy in trading, it is about finding what works for you and not do what you watch on videos or read.

My trading journey is a rough one and it has taken me close to 2 years to get to where i am now. I'm proud to say i am a profitable trader.  Cheesy

It took me a number of courses and personal effort to get to where i am today.

I have always wanted to ask, How many trading courses did you take to become profitable ?

One funny scenario about trading is that, it is not by the number of lectures, or courses you have taken, neither is it by the number of courses you paid for,
but;

by how much you can learn,
how much you have learnt,
and how much you have put into practice
and finally, how much corrections you have taken from your errors.

Figure that out, and reevaluate your profits charts.

Nothing lasts forever
Good to see that you have turned up to become a successful trader. Though it took you 2 years to reach to that level at the end it's the profits you make that cover your up your time and effort for the same. There are many people out there who despite of taking courses don't make any profitable trades.
I would say it does not completely depend on those courses but somewhere we have to put in our effort as well to build the right strategy as per the current market. Sometimes luck plays a huge role in it as well. I am not saying courses are a waste of time. They do help us a lot in technical terms and give us a different perspective but it all depends on a mixture of factors that takes to make a profitable trade.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom
Honestly, I didn't take any course to learn about crypto trading, I just did it on my own and my experience and mistakes taught me about how to trade in the profitable manner.ANd also there are lot of free articles and videos available on the internet so no need to spend money to learn it.

before investing and trading do need a course first, but we do not have to pay, you can see how to trade on youtube,
and learn how to analyze on google, learn candlestick, learn graphics etc., good luck with you

I do not really support both approaches here personally. People who say that you do not need courses to be a good trader are forgetting that you COULD become a good trader thanks to courses, you do not need it, but it might be helpful, so taking some courses couldn't really hurt you, it is not a big positive but it is certainly not a negative neither.

So, I feel like dropping the value of courses is not really a good idea. But, I also disagree with ones who think courses are some sort of magical solution to becoming a good trader. It does help a bit, but you need a lot more than just taking some courses to become a good trader, you need to be much much better than just courses, you need to practice and you need to apply what you learn and basically gain experience to be even decent.

I absolutely did not take any courses. because I know that knowledge is only a small part of the victory. I learned a lot about indicators, learned a lot about how to manage capital but still failed to trade. Our problem is that psychology, good psychology, the trade will be very good and choose good open order points. so I spend a lot of time practicing and adjusting my emotions. That is the key to the success of the transaction. What do you think?
That is what we need to do to have skills in trading. We don't have to take any courses because many courses need us to pay before we can get the lessons. If we can get the lesson from many sources, and we can learn well from the lesson, I think we don't have to pay anything except to pay the internet connection cost. We can practice and learn more lesson to improve our skills from those sources so we can make a profit in trading.

IMO, it is all investing in yourself.
Practicing is paramount. Taking courses is not necessary; it just helps shorten one's trading journey.

I started trading with indices and forex in 2010. There weren´t that much courses available so it was a lot of self-studies and try and error. There was actually a few traders around, some asking for insane amount of money. As it turned out, the most prominent one of that time in the German speaking area was more a shovel sales man than a gold digger himself, meaning he was great at selling his courses but a lousy trader himself.
Eventually it took me 1,5 years, collecting all info, e.g. incl reading about 30-40 books about trading, I could and put all parts together for a sustainable trading setup. Fortunately, today everything is easier and Udemy and co offer a plethora of online courses were you can learn trading and the finance markets as a whole very easily. However, even today my suggestion is to start with a demo account and trade with fake money. You will need to get accustomed to your setup and you need to figure out what works best for you. You don´t need to invest your hard earned real money to play around in the testing phase. Patiences and constant learning is key and since we live in a time and age of instand gratification one has to work hard to keep focus. Eventually it´s worth it.

Eventually, we all pick pieces from different sources to form our strategies.
The hard work individual put in is what matters.

Its not really easy to become a trader because there are many steps to take in order to achieve your goal and be a pro trader.

Nowadays just look online for resources to know how to trade, and its up to us to choose what is best that suits us to understand better the nature of trading. In my case I didnt take any courses to learn how to trade, im just lucky that I have someone who guide and teach me along the way.

I'm happy you have someone whose experience you can leverage on.

Trader should really have this kind of mindset and also it doesnt matter if you do have mentor, attend seminars, paid up courses as long you do get on how thing works but it doesnt
necessarily for you to spend up some bucks for you to learn up since everything can be found online if you do decide to be self-taught one.It will just depend on how you do feed up
yourself into new informations that you do acquire day by day until you do make yourself improve out into that certain area and be feasible or profitable.Dont rush up and this is one
of the reason why people commit mistake because they do like for everything to be fast paced.

Exactly! Everyone should do what works best for them.

Of course I went through a variety of courses to become a successful trader, and after 4 years passed I felt I had just understand
about trading. Even though I understand trading, I still experience losses a number of times. Most courses I take are free, and only
once I take a paid course.

same here. Courses just helps leverage on others experience.
Some traders still don't believe there are free paid courses out there.  Undecided

very much, even to this day, I am still learning how to do good trading. every time the pattern of price movements, trends, and popularity always changes. we need to learn that quickly. even for bitcoin and ethereum, it needs to be adjusted every time.

Every moment in the market is unique. This makes us learn everyday.

I learned a lot about indicators, learned a lot about how to manage capital but still failed to trade.

That is the key to the success of the transaction. What do you think?

The work you put in is what matters. No amount of courses will make you profitable if you don't put in the work


Is it really necessary, I think for majority of traders, a formal study is not necessary anymore, self education can be done effectively if we will spend time to  utilize all the useful resources we can find online, this is the beauty of having an internet connection as you can explore online and learn a lot of things.

Ask me, who told me about bitcoin? my answer is myself,..  I just browse online until I see it and got interested to it.

Taking courses are not necessary. It just helps you leverage on the experiences of other traders and shorten your trading journey to profitability. Personal effort too is required to make this work.

According to Loyal 'Jack' Lewman, "Never stop learning; for when we stop learning, we stop growing" that's why it is also not bad to learn with yourself, sometimes, it is essential for you to find out if you are an effective learner who wants to become better in trading and if it will become guaranteed to learn by yourself.

Only one. Because of i was a newbie, i didn't know anything about crypto treading. That's why i did one course so that i could better understand about crypto market & become a successful treader. That course was really helpful and changed my life

i'm happy you see it this way.


In the time when I started trading there were no courses. In fact, there were very few available information at all. So, I learned along with getting experiences, making.mistakes and wrong decisions and similar.
It's good that this has changed and now you can get education and work on yourself all the time. I support life long education and constant development of capabilities but hands on experience is the best way to become good, successful trader.

You are truly a legend!

I am not entirely sure if you really want to just advertise or if anyone is interested in knowing. But know the fact that studying is only one part of the deal and in general has very little to do with how you fare with the bitcoin world because it is nothing like forex. If you study for forex but trade bitcoin there will be many times when you will be wrong.

The thing about bitcoin is the simple fact that its decentralized and can't be controlled, so anyone could buy a billion of it right now and sell it right after and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Or they could burn a billion dollars worth of bitcoin and you can't stop them. At the end of the day bitcoin is unpredictable but also uncontrollable which means unlike forex anything could happen at any moment. You can't study for something like that.

Not any form of advertisement.
I always thought all traders take trading courses.
Asked the question just out of curiosity. Every trader has a story to tell and everyone's trading journey is different.

I always wanna learn off individual experience. I hope you get.
