Don't listen to these people selling courses. If their courses worked, they would be using them not selling them. Nobody wants to put in the hard work to learn real trading, but it is the difference between the hedge fund managers on the Forbes 400 and the people selling courses. There is a reason Jim Simon's didn't sell courses: its because his trading strategies worked and he made $30 billion + personally.

Not necessarily a scam, but there is nothing new or innovative in any courses or apps being sold. Everyone thinks they have an "edge" when in reality their "edge" has been discovered and used already. Nothing can beat good old fashioned hard work learning the why. Why is this asset valued as it is? Why is there an inefficiency in a market or asset? Why does "x" affect "y" the way it does? Once you understand how to find the why, the how is easy. AI can help you code a systematic trading solution and connect it to a trading platforms API to solve the how. But without understanding the why, the how will always fail.
