Those are cool videos. Pretty cool to see some "behind the scenes". Kind of reminds me of the book "Rigged". Awesome book btw.

I'm pretty new to trading, but have done a lot of research, and from everything I have read, either IB or MB Trading. I'm hardly the expert on this though.

yeah, its from tradesmart u. I am in the free course as well. The last class was pretty cool. We went through a real trade that they made last week with google. It was cool because it was a recent event and they showed screenshots from when they were entering the trade, and why they were...

As many of you may know, I've spent some time looking into various programs that offer free financial education. I personally enrolled in 6 or 7 of them and I found a few companies that offer some training that is of no cost. To be honest, most of them just try to sell you on $3000+ training...

I know that is one of the big things with paper trading and trading with real money, is not to let your emotions get in the way. One thing the instructor is telling us is not to over trade. I guess they will teach about that as well.

Ive got a question for everyone. What is the best piece of advice you have received about trading the markets? Thanks for your replies.

I ended up setting up a paper account with MB Trading. They have direct access ECN and its like $5/trade when I want to go live., and they have level II quotes. The second class was good. It was an introduction to technical analysis and showed the difference between being an investor and a...

There is definitely some useful information in this thread about spending a ton of money on education without knowing who is teaching you. I just signed up for a 4 week course on technical analysis (FREE) and I did some research on them even before signing up for the free class. Luckily...

Ok, so we had the second class, and it was good... It got me excited about trading. So the class is about technical analysis and being a trader, not a buy and hold investor. I do have a question: What brokers are good for paper trading? I am thinking of either Interactive brokers...
