prop "training" outlines

While I gather that the most important factor for success at trading is finding your own style/strategy that works for you, I am interested in an outline of what the various prop firms who offer training actually teach.

Bright teaches pairs and openings strategies, anything else?

I assume prop shops teach various forms of momentum trading, trading news, and general technical analysis. Maybe scalping? What topics am I missing? Are there training manuals from now-defunct firms floating around that I could peruse?

 

Since you asked about what is taught, here is an outline.

Basic outline for 3 day training program.

Don

 

Thanks for posting that. I bet it's on your website somewhere but I hadn't seen it until now. Would be interested to see what other programs include.

 

All you need is 3 days and you have the right to pay insane fees, desk charges and give up 60% of your profits!!

 

Or, as in our case...you keep 100% of your profits, and we consider the 3 day class a good starting point. LOL.

I too am curious about other training programs.

All the best,

Don

 

What you forgot to mention is the cost for your 3 day training program?

 

$1000, return for free if you like.

Should probably charge some of that Linda Rashke type money, but we don't, LOL.

I think that's a good price for quantity of information you can learn. Especially if you're a total beginner. Would have been nice if there was something like that around here when I first began.
