I wasted 5 years of my life and an estimated £5k on trading courses and software. In the end I decided that my life is better without it.
I have met hundreds of people that claim to trade profitably and also met a handful that actually do. First rule: assume that anybody who claims to make a consistent money from trading to be a liar, or a scammer, or mad, or all of these. Of the 100s of people I met, 3 actually traded successfully and made money of varying degrees. All shared the same traits:
1. They are all deeply unhappy people, always angry about everything and at everyone.
2. They have various personality disorders.
3. They have no family or social life, no friend. It's them and their computers, 24x7.
Of the scammers, the less said the better. Run a mile from anyone that sells any form of trading course without showing audited, real, long-term results. Even assuming the system being sold is genuine, you still won't any make money because the moment it goes through a series of losses, as they all do, you'll either start tweaking it, or just dump it.
In the end I decided that property is a very easy route to get rich slowly. I don't wish to get rich quick.
If it was that easy, then... etc.
