    Are all trading courses scams?

    are thay all scam? depends what you except. if you want the basics of the profession (i.e. what is support and resistance etc) then they are not scam. if you think that you will learn how to trade profitable directly from the course then yes, they are all scam.

    Leaving your computer on

    it is recommended to re-boot every morning but no need to turn it off at all. i had mine on for years. the caveat is electricity, it DOES eat it even when the screens are off. if you don't use it for a few hours, why not turn it off. it's up to you.
