5 Questions to Ask Before Buying a Trading Course

5 Questions to Ask Before Buying Trading Education 🎯

1. Can you show verified statistics? 📊

A public Myfxbook or FX Blue link — every trade over 6–12 months, drawdowns included. Screenshots don't count.

2. Do you have an affiliate deal with a broker or prop firm? 💰

He earns a share of the commission on your volume. Including when you lose.

3. When does your method stop working? ⚙️

"It always works" means it can't be verified.

4. What do we do during a losing streak? 📉

You need numbers: where you cut size, where you stop.

5. Program and contract before payment. 📄

A transfer to a personal card in DMs is not education.

Some context: 🔍 a University of São Paulo study of 19,646 day traders found that among those who persisted beyond 300 days, 97% lost money. EU regulator data puts retail accounts in loss at 74–89% — that figure is on your broker's own website.

The main thing: ⚠️ even an honest course guarantees nothing. Five losses in a row will happen — and it's you who decides whether to chase them. Someone can hand you a method. Following it is on you.

Keep a journal from day one: one mark per trade — rules followed, yes or no. After 50 trades you'll see where the problem actually is. ✍️
