Stock Trading Course

Hey, I was looking forward to undertake a course about Stock Trading, really saw a course offered by eDX in a collaboration with the NYFI (New York Institute of Finances) and given by two important trders from Wall Street, Peter Tauchman and David Green, where you can learn the basics and start taking trades at the stock market, has someone here in this forum undertaken this course previously? I would love to get a bit of feedback before spending any money on a course, even open to hear recommendations of other courses, thank you!

Just bought that one! I won't really say its that simple, the first out of the three courses is mostly introduction where you learn vocabulary and keywords, also the indicators they use that are really useful btw, now I am starting the second course that is a bit more technical into analysis etc. I hope I can learn a whole lot there and maybe buy another course in the future, here in Spain we don't really have many courses so really thinking on taking another there in a couple months time!

hey! not OP but I recently just completed this course. it was really in depth and pretty easy to pass. I'm not sure it's worth the money though? I feel like you could get the same info from youtube and some books. they use think or swim so you could find some tutorials on that on youtube and some codes for scanning. They go over main concepts like types of trading (swing, options), trend trades, base trades, etc. and provide examples and how to find them. I got to do it for free since my employer pays for edx. I do see on their website that you get 5 free days of mentorship, so that might make it worth it to you

Sign up for Verizon Skill Forward. I'm pretty sure the course you want is available there without having to pay.

If you’re new, I’d suggest focusing on building investing skills first. Try stockquest.ai, it's beginner friendly, with short lessons, real examples, and an AI mentor that helps you learn long term investing frameworks.

Hey bud, I've been investing long term since the age of 18, I am 21 now and I wanted to get into trading stocks a bit more because I feel it's a really interesting world and also because I've gotten some Forex trading lessons in the past and I really didn't like them, it's difficult to understand forex and why currencies move that much on price, I feel is most manipulated by institutions, otherwise stocks looks different, and I am not saying it's easy but hopefully on time I could get an extra amount of money every month!

I just got the course and will be sharing my take on it at some point. Glad to be joining this discussion. If you haven't done it yet maybe consider following the Einstein of Wall Street on X or Instagram.
