Forex Trading Course - How to Choose the Right Forex Education?

A good Forex trading course will teach you how to make a solid profit from the Forex market. However, if you fall for some courses that teach unproven Forex systems, it could also mean big losses for you.

So a course can be a double-edged sword. It can be your friend or it could also become your worst enemy at the Forex. Because of this, it would be very critical to choose the right Forex course for you.


Choosing the right Forex trading course may sound easy but it is not. With hundreds of Forex courses being sold on the Internet, it would be very difficult to identify which one would help you succeed.


So here are some important things you have to consider when choosing the right education. These pointers should help you to identify which course is good and which ones are worthless.


Do Not Buy the Basics

The first thing you have to remember is not to buy a course that will teach only the basics of Forex. You can easily get such information for free. Even your broker can provide free basic trading courses and tutorials.


You will only waste your money on courses that teach you how to trade, how to read charts, and other information that you can get for free. Most probably, these courses are just written by authors who compiled different Forex information and sold them as a Forex course.


In Tactical Trading Academy, we do not waste time teaching the basics which can be found easily on the internet and books. We are focus on making trading profits in our education program.



Focus on Strategies and Advanced Techniques

What you should be looking for is a Forex trading course that will teach you the step by step process of building a proven trading system. However, you need to ensure that the strategy being discussed by the course has been proven in actual market conditions.


We taught BL TS system at Tactical Trading Academy. This system has been fully back-tested and it has been proven to be profitable in actual market conditions. We post our trade ideas in our website on a daily basis. Purpose is to let our prospects and readers know that BL TS system is still very relevant and profitable in current market condition.



Choose a Course that Offers Hands-On Services

Majority of courses are packaged into ebook modules which you can read and study. Although these types of courses may provide valuable input to sharpen your Forex knowledge, it would be best if the course provider can include hands-on training.


In Tactical Trading Academy, besides providing a ebook on the details of our system, we also provide unique hands-on training which most other trading courses do not provide. We will send trade emails for 2 months to our students so they will learn when and why to enter a trade in a Live Trading environment. Our trainer spends 15 hours watching the forex market so he can identify trading opportunities and show them to his students.



Ensure that the testimonials are real

Testimonials can be faked and posted on the website.


In Tactical Trading Academy, we take efforts in letting our prospects and readers know that our testimonials are real. We will print screen testimonials emails sent from our students and post them in our website.



Cost of the trading program is part of your trading cost

Many of the trading seminars cost more than $3000. Students who attended the course need to achieve a profit of $3000 before they can reach breakeven point.


In Tactical Trading Academy, the cost of our program is very affordable and economical. Most of our students can easily achieve profit that can cover the cost of our trading education program. One of our students had covered the cost of the program after his first two winning trades.



The above reasons explain why we are the best choice in online trading education program. To sign for the Trading Education Program, send an email to metal.commodity@tradingeducationprogram.org.

Unemployment rate at Germany rose to 8.3 percent, a 16 month high. As the largest nation within the Eurozone, the labor market in Germany is critical to health of the region’s overall economy. The Eurozone unemployment rate also rose to 8.9 percent, the highest level since November 2005.

Next week’s European Central Bank will announce interest rate decision. The central bank is widely expected to announce an interest rate cut as well as unconventional measures to stimulate the economy, but at the same time, they may say that further rate cuts is unlikely.

Recently one of my reader sent an email to me. In the email he said that he used to attend a forex trading course that costs him more than $3000. In the seminar the speaker taught the students how to trade GBPJPY using MACD and Williams. So I asked him if the strategy works? He did not give me a direct and obvious answer, he just told me that my trading skill is better than the speaker's.

I am always skeptical whenever people tells me that using fixed indicators in their forex trading strategy will turn out to be profitable. I can simply perform a quantitative test to prove that using fixed indicators on currency pairs will not work over time. This is because different currencies have different behaviour and this behaviour changes over time as market condition changes. So we cannot use the same indicators for a specific currency pairs for all seasons.

In my view trading strategy can be narrow down into 2 broad categories:
1) Trending following and 2) Reverting to the mean.

1) Trend following strategy means if the trend is up, you follow the direction and buy. If the trend is down, you follow the direction and sell. This is why most people say the trend is your friend. In this case, indicators used for this strategy will be MACD, Parabolic, Bollingerband etc.

Currency pairs that currently belong to this group are EURJPY, EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD.

2) Reverting to the mean strategy means if the price goes up too high, it may be time to sell. Vice versa if the price goes down to much, it is time to buy. In this case indicators used will be Williams, Stochastic, Commodity Channel, RSI etc. If you have been trading long enough, you will know that the trend is NOT always your friend. The trend can be a trap many a times.

Currencies that USED to belong to this group are AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD. But behaviour of these currencies have changed lately due to market's wild move.

So those traders who had previously been successful in trading AUDUSD using stochastic will face serious damage in his trading lately.

To solve this problem I had developed a system that is flexible. Quantitative tests must be performed on a weekly rolling basis so as to capture the behaviours and patterns of the various currency pairs. Then using the information from the quantitative test to generate buy and sell signals.

I think this is a more realistic and practical way of trading. Most importantly, it works. To receive samples of past trades, send an email to me at metal.commodity@tradingeducationprogram.org.
