All noobs start here!

Hey guys if your serious about trading, theres no other way around hard work and discipline - simple as that. Stop searching the web for auto trading this, and training that, bc if your just starting out you will waste your hard earned cash - if you haven’t already burned some it in a live account.

I wish I would have know about this when I first started, would cut the learning curve in half (and I’m still learning!) Best 2 resources:

1 - BabyPips.com school of Pipsology
2 - CMT designation required reading (at least the first 2 levels) -

FYI - CMT = Chartered Market Technician - you’ll have to look it up on your own bc Babypips flagged me for advertising…

Scroll Down about half way and you’ll find the ‘Recommended Readings’

This is all you need to learn Technical Analysis!!! After comes the discipline and patience part, but one step @ a time :wink:

If you’ve clicked the link and got scared by the amount of reading then quit reading this thread, shut ur computer off and go pursure some other ‘get rich quick’ idea bc there is no such thing as easy money in trading…sorry for being so harsh, but any experienced trader will tell you the same

I’m not a CMT, however after trading FX for a yr, I took a private course by a CMT and her breadth of knowledge was mind blowing - I now feel ready to trade on my own and am a lot more confident, although I’m still demo’ing after losing a lot of real $$$ to the mkts.

I will definately be studying for CMT level one in the near future, but had I known about this from the start I would have easily had at least level 1 under my belt already.

Anyways I had to throw this out there bc if I would have know about this stuff a yr ago, my trading journey would have been a lot smoother over the past yr.

Feel free to follow on my blog, where you can watch me trade, based on what I learned in my course w/ my CMT teacher. I am by no means tooting my own horn, as I still have discipline and patience issues I have to work on, but now that I know the technicals, I can focus on myself :slight_smile:

Good luck and God bless

Hello,

what is CMT?? Do you have a link??

Happy trading

CMT = Chartered Market Technician - u gotta google it on your own bc Babypips flagged me, but under the ‘CMT Programs’ heading, if you click the ‘CMT Program General’ link, you can find the reading material.

Can you just pm me the link??

I am on the page but i cant figure out where i can get the actual readings?

  • oh i didnt realise first time around they are text books…
    dang, why cant everything be free like babypips
