Investment Seminars: What You Need to Know

Updated: August 18, 2020

So you got an invitation to an investment seminar or workshop. They claim that in just a few hours you can learn secrets that will allow you to strike it rich in the financial markets. So what’s the catch?

At Trading Academy we offer our own trading and investing workshop, a free introductory class, so let’s talk about that. We do this because we believe we have a quality product in our trading and investing education. The student who attends our investment class will begin to learn about our step-by-step, rules-based trading strategy. The presenter will also talk about common mistakes of the novice investor and the importance of risk management in protecting what you already have. If in-center, they’ll get a tour of the facility, see the workstations used by our continuing students, and maybe get a chance to talk to some of these students one-on-one. It's a "free sample of our education" that will make you want to learn more about our suite of product offerings, we hope.

A key thing to remember is that the confident investor is an educated investor. You really do need training and practice to begin seeing patterns in the markets. This means developing a trading rhythm and overcoming potentially bad habits that make you hit the sell button too soon, or hold onto a loser for too long. There is a winner and a loser in every trade, and having a strong financial education could put you on the winning side.

Here’s some questions to ask when choosing an education pathway and a way to get started that’s right for you:

• Are presenters able to explain how the markets really work and help you understand key concepts related to the importance of a financial education?
• Is there a learning track for future education after the event?
• Is there a dedicated enrollment specialist who will help answer your questions and guide you along your financial education journey?
