Ok I was talking about a beginner. Once you have a strategy (where did you learn it?) you can backtest and draw conclusions obviously.
Did you just read books on support and resistance?
I would not recommend a beginner to even try as the failure rate in this business and the amount of learning/time required is far greater than most starting out can ever imagine.
I read over 100 books on trading during my early years and would guess that less than 10 of those books held any real value. Never took a course and never will. For obvious reasons.
My real learning started when I started to do my own meticulous studies of the actual market I chose to trade. To this day I still actively log/study/archive the market day-by-day.
Instead of finding a strategy I would rather suggest to study/learn how the market actually moves on a day-by-day basis and then rather seek to find a strategy to exploit that. Not the other way around, i.e., starting with a strategy which you then try to fit to the market. Obviously, IMHO.
I took two courses in my life (similar ones) and I learnt a lot from both (am not going to name them here lol). Took my trading hobby to a totally new level. Maybe I was just lucky with my choices...
It's very easy for a beginner to think one is learning (a lot) when one actually isn't.
At the end of the day trading is about money making and if someone isn't making money from what one has learned, well, was anything truly learned?
If you took courses that put you in a position where you're consistently earning money in the markets you should do your fellow man or woman the service of recommending those courses and save them some time and frustration in the learning process.
