Elliot Wave – How To Select and Trade Individual Stocks

This was originally uploaded as Online Trading Academy – Professional Forex Trader Series DVD Full Set. As several people pointed out it is not the Forex program, it is the full seven-day stocks program. It is from 2003-2004 so some things have changed in the meantime (obviously taxes for example) so look at this as a behind the scenes of what is driving the markets up and down. If you even remotely think you may do any trading, consider this a good beginning. I like the guy presenting this and I liked the background information he paints.

Buy OTA’s training? The seven day program is now up to $7,000!!! Most brokerage houses have trading platforms and demo accounts so you can “trade ” during real market sessions. Basically free experience. You may have a knack. You may not have the stomach for it. There are plenty of negative reviews online for OTA so be careful.

From the website:
Trading is a competition between two sides where there is always a winner and a loser. In the Professional Trader course, you’ll learn a simple, rules-based strategy which is designed to keep you on the winning side. This core strategy helps you to identify key market turning points and major moves in advance. Professional Trader focuses on stock trading, although the skills and discipline you will learn are applicable to any asset class.

The course is divided between Part 1 (2 days) and Part 2 (5 days); most students take them together but you can complete the two sections separately for convenience. Each day’s agenda contains 2-3 powerful and fully interactive lectures led by a professional trader combined with 1-2 live trading sessions focusing on market analysis and trade execution.

Here is the description from the original post:
This two-part 7 day course contains the foundational instruction that all of our teaching is based on. Even though the focus is on stock trading the main purpose of this course is to introduce you to the fundamental principles and methods that are vitally necessary to become successful in any aspect of trading or investing.
