Is there anybody still taking care of the Babypips school, as in changing a few things if need be? As is often the case, when someone in the know is writing stuff, he or she may presume that the reader knows some things when in reality they don’t. As a complete newbie taking the course from A to B, I am making notes on lessons where I had to go elsewhere to figure out wth the babypips page was talking about ( for instance the extremely important yet totally obtuse Equity/Leverage pages to name a few). Should I keep wasting my time making notes or there is nobody left now who would even want to change anything on the babypips school page?
My suggestion is to continue the SOP, and areas where you feel you need further explanation, search the forum, or ask your question here, or use Google to add to the notes you already have. You can go to the community feedback section of this forum and make a suggestion.
It’s not that I can’t google. Of course when stuff is badly explained here I go elsewhere like I said in the OP. But if things can be improved here, why leave it like that?
For example, the whole class about Equity with all its examples about how one can ruin his/herself is completely useless, due to the actual concept of “Equity” not being explained. Not in the class, not even in the Forex Glossary.
Then further on, “True Leverage” is defined, but then referred to just as “Leverage”, which does completely confuse the newbie since “Leverage” is one of the first thing he/she learnt in Forex, and has a totally different meaning for him. “Your leverage is now 50:1”. No, my leverage is defined by my broker, 30:1 for the EU or 400:1 for this demo account . Are you implying that with a non-demo account I can negotiate the leverage on a trade per trade basis? Oh, by “Leverage” in this sentence you are talking about the “True Leverage” that you have defined in the previous lesson? Then keep saying “True Leverage” please, it’s already confusing enough as it is.
Now, again, if there is nobody to put some sense into these classes I won’t waste any more time taking notes and posting about them, I just want to make sure.
