You’ve been registered since January 2016. Being at inquiry for 7.5 years probably disqualifies you for newbie status. By now you should have scoped and bounded the opportunity of trading stock index futures. You should have your own syllabus.
Don't learn from the professional talkers/writers. Learn from professional traders. But they are not willing to teach. The next Q would be : How to tell the difference between professional talkers/writers vs professional traders.
Depending on your geography and financial ability consider selling your soul to a local money manager with an index book. FOs are pretty much everywhere from the EU West to Asia, but not all have index books. Funds tend to be in bigger markets and generally have a well-ordered internship or entry-level process. The process won't be easy and can be very political. In the US most interns can do pretty well. Greater Chicago and Greater New York are target-rich environments, but there is no replacement for shoe leather. Your timing ain't great, but it is what it is.
Go to YouTube and you can get some very good introductory trading course for free. Any "educational" type questions you can ask chatGPT. My humble advice: Take the path less taken, don't trade indexes, too competitive, trade individual names.
Hello andy_p, I do not know. If I knew of such a course I would not tell anyone. If I was making $20Million trading, I would not make a trading course.
I think you need the holly grail indicator not a trading course. With the holly grail indicator you can start printing money right away.
Are you making millions a year in another activity? If not, I doubt you will make it with trading trough learning from a course or the internet in global. Information or a how to, is not the key to make a million or more a year. Knowing what to do is only maybe 5% of the necessary ingredient to a high income. Dealing with your habits, emotions and thoughts is far more important. No course will learn you that part.
%% Get a public library card or private library; I have both. Millionaire Mind is a good read, by Dr T Stanley; but while most anything is possible in capital markets. Your 20-30 m number + that plan is not in there. Even a rare business like 'selling pet rocks' only made small,low 7 figures. IBD has good books + neWspaper.
As to 7 years from being on the forum. I`ve been here since high school. Got a new job and want to make something on the side to get passive income. But I need large amounts of money for that. I`m a NERD computer major and I`ve found out again after being (intentionally misled so that I don`t make money by some bad people that I`ve had in my life). So I`ve tried internet marketing free traffic techniques didn`t work. Now I`ve talked to some friends and they told me to give trading a shot because it`s what works with NERDs I`m quite capable of setting up a trade and don`t check it until the next day. I have a mentor on FOREX I`ll buy his course. I won`t say who because there are a lot of bad people here to who will make me doubt of the efficacity of course and the strategy that it teaches`. The lifestyle I dream well let`s say it even if a lot of people will laugh the lifestyle is a Billionaire lifestyle which can be done. If I live like Warren Buffet(buy a decent car and a medium-sized house). I know how to get in broad terms 30% per year (most of it is from agriculture which is good for my country specifically) So yeah in short I for FOREX I target 6-figures with prop trading firms making 5-10% per month but trading a lot less so that I only risk 0.25% for my capital do it for 3 years and grow the prop trading account to 4 million. This is my realistic expectation. But I want more so I want to get to 30 M$ a year and reinvest most of it in agriculture buy to let houses in the UK, index funds, and so on. I know what to do with the money Once I have it I don`t know yet how to make a lot of money in a short period of time that`s where trading and FOREX come in. So if any of you guys can point me to someone who makes 20-30M$ a year IDK for a lot of money they teach you the strategy then I would like to try it. I can be rich and live like Warren Buffet I don`t need more but I want to have more. I`m in this to become my best self the best business man that ever lived this is what motivates me. Even if you make 5M$ a year at 30% a year you can become a billionaire by the time you are 60-70 years old. Like I said I don`t need the flashy things I just want to have the option of being able to stop and live anywhere in the world I want. Few people understand this mentality but it`s what I always wanted because I was born very poor.
