I can speak to my own experience when I say that of the books and videos and courses I'm checked out, Al Brooks's brookstradingcourse.com is the best I've seen

@volpri and @speedo might be able to chime in as well.

Brooks...the best and most complete IMO if a body is interested in learning trading via price action.

i agree....he is the only one

many times in my 13 years, i have deserted Brooks, only to come back again.

but i found understanding him takes a bit of time.....and the more time you spend with his ideas,the more you discover.

Al's course is as good as it gets but it's no "Trading for Dummies". If you are willing to put in the substantial work required, you can learn what price is saying from bar to bar, the dynamics of price and pattern development and formulate a viable trade plan. If you are simply looking for setups that "work", the arena is flooded with snake oil salesmen who will be happy to take your money.

yep

good point

Al is very clear about that: his title of the first book clearly says 'for the serious trader' and in his preface he mentions that the book requires some knowledge about trading.

though i think his video course may be suitable for the less experienced: but that is the beauty about Al;you can take it in a shallower way or go really deep into it

The video course has about 60 hours of material and is quite extensive. It is likely easier to learn from for most than the books, although "easy" is a relative thing when it comes to learning price behavior and your own behavior and making money from it.

Brooks course cost is 15%of that......but it does not spoon feed......you have to use your own brains a lot

depends what you want out of trading......whether you just want to make money or have a little understanding overall

i know how Lti works because i am studying with the head of trading andy demy that is one of the best trader in london(this is my course https://londontradinginstitute.com/1-month-applied-trading-course/) and i am in touch with alberto pallotta on linkedin: i think it is enough to make a choice between two options and low price doesn't always means good quality especially for a course...and if i want a little understanding there are a lot of free material out there...

i understand why is cheaper than LTI: you should open a tradstation account as i've discovered on the website "
Open and fund a new TradeStation account (excluding Forex) and receive 20%
in commission rebates up to 2 times cost of your Brooks Trading Course purchase ($698)."...
all those things don't happen with LTI where you are free to use any broker you like...
