The Trading Apprenticeship.

Why an Apprenticeship is vital to becoming a good Forex trader

A Course in a Forex trading is not enough to make you into a successful trader. Even if it is the best trading method in the world, by itself a course can never make good trader.

If a trading method is sound it should be able to be demonstrated in a live market so that you can watch it work. This is the only way you can have confidence in what you are learning and the only real way that you can avoid being deceived by artful lies by Forex marketers. It is one thing to say you have the best method of trading the Forex market, but it is entirely a different thing to demonstrate the method in a live market with real money. But this one factor, demonstration, is the only way claims about any Forex method can be made credible.

So we have to find a sound method that can be proven in a live market. Next we have to learn the theory behind the method that we have seen demonstrated. This theory would have to consist of how the markets really work and how to trade such a market. Last but not least is the supervised practice of the theory, up to the point of being a competent trader who can make pips at will in any market.

We can now see that in order to have confidence in your training, you need to know that the method works. You don’t want to be wondering whether or not all your efforts might be a waste of time. This necessary confidence will come about when you see the method working in a live market. A Forex teacher who is not afraid to demonstrate their skill in a live market with real money knows what they are talking about and knows what they are doing. Such a teacher you can have confidence in.

You can also see that you need a sound knowledge of the theoretical principles that the method is based upon. This takes time but it is vital that any confusions as to theory be completely cleaned up. A mind full of confusions can’t read the market clearly. You have to know what you are doing and why you are doing it. It is only by putting into practice the theory and what you what you have seen demonstrated that will make you competent as a trader. If you practice a method without competent supervision, any trading system, even if it is the best in the world will probably fail. This is because you will not know when you are misunderstanding it and you will not notice it when you miss important points.

When you are trained in an apprenticeship you are trained to become competent by someone who is competent. Only a successful trader can teach someone trading. This means you must believe in the competence of your teacher. This means in order to learn easily you must believe that your teacher can teach you what you want to know. Uncertainty about the teachers’ competence makes the learning process very difficult.

Given the super abundance of people who claim to be competent in the Forex industry mistrust is a helpful thing, in that it will prevent you from being ripped off. There are a lot of deceivers who are highly skilled at artful deception who pretend they are competent Forex traders.

There are only two ways to know for real that a teacher is competent. The first way is a demonstration of the method they are teaching in a live market with real money. The second way to know the teacher is competent is that when you get corrected by this competent teacher, you competence in trading demonstratively improves.

The bottom line is that a competent teacher will be able to train you up to the point where you can make pips and know you can make pips in any market condition.

Summary

The three elements to learning trading are teacher, theory, and practice. And when looking at any trading method or trading courses it is very wise to evaluate them on this basis. I don’t sell a trading course because my method of trading can only be taught in a live market and learned through practice. Without my apprenticeship programme I would have nothing of value to offer. Given the correct method, you must practice it until you become competent. There is no other way around this. This is why I offer people who liked what they saw in my video series an apprenticeship program that will train them in my Forex trading method.
