    No.

    A company can sell a product at whatever people will pay.

    You sound as if you have been duped, sorry.

    This is also a good way to entice people into signing up: curiosity about the content and possible secret information known only to an initiated elite is a good hook.

    If they were specific, you might realise that you could get the same information from a book on Amazon.

    Only one strategy for Risk Management of not risking more than 1% of your capital. However no mention of when doing this you have to have a large minimum capital which also ties in to their omission about a minimum amount you can trade per 'pip' which again dictates when and how much you can place a trade, all tied in to their 1% risk management strategy. Profit targets were just what you want to get per month based on 6% return, this was them telling us we needed a larger start up capital. No mention of the quantity of trades to increase the likelihood of reaching 6% pm or anything else.

    No mention of 9 Forex Trading Secrets, How to Place the Carry Trade,The Importance of Divergence and I wouldn't say we covered Advanced use of Pivots.

    Thanks Bris,

    I Appreciate the constructive feedback. I came on hear for technical advice to try and resolve something. I know I made something we all do from time to time, a mistake.
    Knew after the first day. I wonder if you have ever made a mistake, I suppose you haven't? If I were a fool I wouldn't be debt free and have no need for a credit card.

    These boards are to help, not make some enane comment from behind the safety of a keyboard.

    To everyone else thank you very much for the advice you have given and your patience with a momentary 'fool'.

    Bris I hope the next time you have a problem someone is nice enough to quote a useless axiom.

    TBH, anyone who thinks they can play the forex market after sitting one of these courses in the current climate is going to lose a hell of a lot of money.

    People I know who have sat exams and had 20+ years experience in the real markets are finding it tough, short of creating large open positions and hoping the market volatility swings in your favour.
