Trader education is not regulated by the FCA.  If you have any concerns about scams you should seek advice immediately through your bank, from Action Fraud or by contacting the police.

Some common sense advice includes:

• If it sounds too good to be true it usually is
• Do not invest in an organisation that contacted you first, without proper investigation on your part
• Be wary of overseas brokers claiming to trade for you. If they say that they are FCA regulated, ask yourself why the UK’s FCA would be covering an overseas business
• Avoid paying by bank transfer into a bank account. It’s usually safer to use a credit card, but please note that there may be a deadline for your application to retrieve lost funds.
• Keep an eye on the current scams doing the rounds
• Always check for online reviews, and do plenty of independent research
• If you have been scammed, be careful if you are contacted by a debt recovery agency shortly after, as this may be a route into getting scammed a second time.
• If in any doubts, seek independent financial advice

Our advice, move slowly.  Don’t rush your decisions.  Nothing beats learning this industry and how to trade for yourself, on your own terms, in control of your own fund.

_____

You can use any broker you wish, or if you need some assistance in choosing you can see our trusted brokers page for more information. We recommend starting in a demo account whilst you’re learning and transferring to a live account when you feel you’re ready and seeing consistent results.

We offer online courses, making learning accessible from further afield.    For those students signing up to one-to-one sessions with coaches, these sessions are frequently run online.   Webinars are recorded, and recordings made available for those unable to work with our timetable.  Please note that for those living outside of the UK, with no UK address there may be tax and VAT implications to consider.

_____

We do offer courses that are fully online.  However there are also alternative options for those who like to learn face-to-face.  From our experience, the best option may be a mix of both, enabling some classroom-based learning, whilst also retaining access to an online portal with its 100s of online videos.

If you sign up to one-to-one mentoring sessions with a coach, these too can be provided online.  Technical set up and any trouble shooting can be managed remotely too.

_____

Our Pro Trader Programme can be purchased with added Group Days.  You’d get four days of face-to-face trader education per year, and these are Group Meetings for tuition at a business hotel or conference centre.

Our Mentorship Programme offers one-to-one sessions twice a month with your trading coach, which can be held at our offices if you wish, as well as monthly Group Meetings.

_____

To trade, you will need to set up a brokerage account, plus your charts and indicators.  If you’ve signed up to an online course, you’ll need access to your learning portal.

This is easily done, and you’ll be guided through a few steps.  However, if you prefer we can do this with you either at our offices or via webinar.

_____
