FAQ
1. Who should take the program?
- Anyone who is interested in trading and wants to trade. The program can help both - long-term investors and short-term traders.
2. What are the prerequisites?
- There are no any prerequisites. However, since you will analyze a lot of charts, different websites, and other tools and materials, we strongly recommend doing everything on a laptop or PC.
3. In which order should I watch the courses?
- We recommend watching them in the order listed on the website. Even if you are competent in one or two courses we still recommend watching them to be on the same wavelength in the next videos.
4. Are there any external resources that I need to use?
- Yes! And that's another cool thing - you will know how to use many different tools after the courses. Don't worry, all the tools are free and work on smartphones.
5. Is there any guarantee I will earn money on the markets after the courses?
- If anyone guarantees you such a thing, then the person violates the law. It's prohibited to guarantee income on financial markets. As you will see in the first course - trading is risky and there is always a chance to lose money. Sharpedge and any other financial institution also lose money from time to time.6. If there is no guarantee, why bothering taking the courses?
- Markets are the best mentors! No one is going to teach you as markets do. But this is the most expensive mentor. Without preparation your chance of surviving is low. Preparation improves the probabilities.
