A few honest words...
The more I research, I realize it's still a long journey ahead of me. There is no doubt, there are some skilled individuals out there, but honestly no one is going to help you.
In the huge amount of information out there on the internet or books (much of which were useless), I've found a few authors who deserves the recognition for their knowledge but also I've come across the other side of the coin. I certainly cannot state how many newsletters I've signed up, how many "free webinars" I've participated, free reports and even unwanted emails I've received with useless "promotions" and "discounted courses". People that because have read a book or two, think they are gurus on proven methods and so... scammers that just make money "teaching" how to trade when they don't even take any trades at all or worst, take demo trades.
Leaving the negativity aside, there is useful and valuable information out there... even for free, but at the end it doesn't matter. It's all up to you. Everything is relative, even life itself.
I'm writing this for myself but any new trader would relate to the above. I still don't lose faith and once in a while write to someone who I think may help me in any way, but statistically speaking, none will respond. Don't expect too much from strangers.
Stay away from forums... run the other way from people who makes a living from teaching how to trade instead of trading for a living... focus in your own career, not others.
