Best Trading Seminars for Beginners

[kut2k2]

I am really interested in Options, Futures and Forex primarily. And trading for income. The only seminars I have seen around here in Orlando is that Online Trading Academy. I went to one of their free seminars and it just seemed scam'ish to me. IDK, maybe just a bad impression but thats how I felt. So I thought I would turn to you all for some help.

Thanks

Forget seminars. The good ones (if there are any) are few and far between, and probably overpriced in any event.

Here is the best way to learn options:

It will take you all the way from zero to the intermediate level. Hard to beat that kind of training in one place.

Here is a good way to learn forex (and it's free!) :

Can't help you with futures, hopefully somebody else will.

Good luck.

Well, as long as you asked . . .

Avoid seminars. Avoid gurus. Avoid trading forums. Avoid videos. Avoid books (except for one I'll mention later). Avoid Options, Futures, and Forex.

First, learn about the market. And the best way to learn about the market is to study the market. Once you've learned how it works, you'll be in a far better position to decide how best to take advantage of the profit opportunities the market makes available to you. Don't trade something just because it seems cheap (e.g., options). If you're concerned about losing money, simtrade what you know best, which for now may be stocks.

Second, get a copy of How To Make Money In Stocks, a first or second edition. You can pick one up for pennies used on Amazon. This will teach you the most basic basics about fundamental and technical analysis. If you do it right, you'll learn how to trust what you see rather than what some guru is telling you you ought to see.

I definitely agree with learning about the market much more than I know now. I am trying to learn as much as possible. But I will not avoid videos or books. Got to learn mate. And I certainly will not avoid options, futures, or Forex. This is where my interest lie.

But I do get the overall theme of not going to seminars. Which is fine. Seminars, OUT! And I am going to get all books recommended as well. I know I will lose money. And I am prepared for it. Got to pay my dues somehow. But I can limit them more than some others out there I think, due to being an emotionless left-brained type person.

Hello dbphoenix:

So whats' wrong with Futures and Forex ? Or are you just saying that for a beginner that is not a good place to start ?
