Quote from mysthars:
I have to disagree with you about that $500 fee....
Even if I preffered not to pay for the course and for the opportunity to learn day trading and to trade at Swift, I think it's OK if they are asking those money because:
- not everybody who take that course is or it's gonna be a trader. Even if it's not rocket science it's not suitable for everyone. Everybody is trying to become a trader or to do good trades on firms money. Maybe somebody is even so undisciplined that he not respects that cutting losses rule, so he lose more firms money. I assume that if you'll gonna hit the limit of those $500 fee, you'll be out or something. Maybe some of them will not gonna be good traders never
- it is a huge opportunity to learn how to trade without taking some special training, or acreditation, which costs a lot more and involve longer time-period of study, and you may pass or not, you may become good or not, you may find a job or not, and so on
- any piece of information costs, any training costs...
In the end it's all about personal choice, if you want to take the course and if you think that's woth it for you than you'll pay the fee.
In the end it's all about personal abilities,about everybody's capability to succeed in something or not; if you'll gonna learn something and if you'll become better in trading, if this is what you wanna do, than $500 fee it's a really bad and stupid reason not to try it.
For me, trading is what I wanna do, I want to become a very succesful trader, and I'm sure that I'm gonna be, and I was very happy when I found out about Swift Trade, I was disappointed when I heard about the fee, I've read all the treads about the firm on this site, positive and negative opinions, and in the end I choose to go for it and see how I'm gonna do it. I found that is the easiest and the fastest way to learn and to trade.
Of course that I know about CSI and the trading course which can give you a chance to search for a trader job, but it's much more expensive and takes much more time. I wanna do those courses too, but for now I go on this path, even if it's kind of hard for me (i am a new immigrant, I live at 50 km away from the office, and I can continue....).
That is all for now, again I want to appologise for my bad English.
I wish you all good luck!!!
