    Much of the TA taught in courses does not work.

    One that show you how it generates Entry signals, and Exits signals. And shows it in Trending and Chop markets, both in high and low volatility. And then in various time frames. Also when they are "wacky" because price action is unusual due to news or events.

    That would be reasonably comprehensive of a "market universe" to get a handle of the pros and cons of the TA method(s).

    Most of these "courses" and "secrets" cherry pick stuff that works in certain markets only, e.g. medium volatility and trending.

    Don't confuse a TA indicators system with PL results. TA is TA, nothing more.

    For fxxx's sake, again? Search function...

     
  6. Let me tell you this as beeing a TA trader: TA does nothing for you without context. It's the context that matters and TA confirms or disaproves your view then. Trading Al Brooks (best TA course out there) to the core will not make you rich. It is a toolbox so to speak and you as the worker have to find the construction site where the toolbox has the most value.

  9. Good Morning charlotte_daily,

    Question please

    Are you trying to make money trading or learn Technical Analysis?

    There is a big difference between knowing Technical Analysis and making money trading.

    EVERYONE knows Technical Analysis already yet Nobody makes money trading Technical Analysis that I know of.

    not buying the "hey guys" at all - think there is an invasion of epic proportions using various man trap psychology techniques to either do a school lesson or get paid for survey materials and even though i am smarter than that, i participate also with an insulting stupid gpt response in protest to the obvious manipulation going on here and on other similar threads.

    alas....

    Hello! When looking for a good technical analysis (TA) course, there are several important criteria to consider. Here are some key factors to help you evaluate a TA course:

    1. **Instructor Expertise:** Ensure the course is taught by an experienced and knowledgeable instructor who has a proven track record in technical analysis and trading. Look for instructors with relevant certifications or industry recognition.

    2. **Course Content:** Review the course curriculum to ensure it covers a comprehensive range of technical analysis topics, from basic to advanced concepts. It should include chart patterns, indicators, trend analysis, support and resistance, and more.

    3. **Practical Application:** A good course should focus on practical application. It should provide real-world examples, case studies, and hands-on exercises to help you apply what you've learned to actual trading scenarios.

    4. **Learning Format:** Consider your preferred learning style. Some courses are offered in-person, while others are online. Choose the format that aligns with your schedule and learning preferences.

    5. **Interactivity:** If the course is online, check if it includes interactive elements like quizzes, assignments, or discussion forums. Interaction can enhance the learning experience and help reinforce concepts.

    6. **Reviews and Reputation:** Look for reviews and testimonials from past participants. Positive feedback and recommendations from other traders can be a good indicator of the course's quality.

    7. **Course Length:** Consider the duration of the course. Some people prefer shorter, intensive courses, while others prefer longer courses that cover topics in more detail.

    8. **Support and Resources:** Check if the course offers additional resources such as downloadable materials, cheat sheets, or tools that you can use beyond the course.

    9. **Cost:** Compare the course cost with its features and benefits. Keep in mind that quality education often comes with a reasonable investment.

    10. **Flexibility:** Evaluate whether the course allows you to learn at your own pace, especially if you have a busy schedule.

    11. **Updated Content:** The financial markets and trading practices can change over time. Look for courses that are updated regularly to reflect the latest trends and developments in technical analysis.

    12. **Certification:** Some courses offer certificates of completion. While not essential, a certification can add value to your resume and demonstrate your commitment to learning.

    Remember that technical analysis is just one aspect of successful trading. It's important to have a well-rounded trading education that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and a clear understanding of your trading goals.

    Take your time to research different courses and consider your personal learning needs and goals before making a decision.
