Often times you attend a forex seminar, the speaker shows how well he can trade, how fast he grew $100 to $1000,000 and all that bs.

The big question is this - can his students trade just as effectively as he does? Often times, these 'professionals' merely plug content off some website (babypips?) and "teach" it in the seminars. Unsuspecting victims end up going there, spending 8K on the seminar for 3 days (what a waste of time) and end up thinking they can trade 'live' the following day, depositing $10K USD in their accounts. Well obviously they burn it in less than 10 minutes lol

Trading is a lot like a profession. You can't expect to be a good trader overnight. It is a long term goal that takes practice. After all, trading success is 90% psychology.
