Learning to trade – even on the internet!?

Last Updated: 12. Februar 2024By

The Internet is not just about Google, Amazon, and – it seems – countless online shops. The www can sometimes even be educational. Trading can also be learned there. An overview and review of six of these „educational websites“, if they can be called that.

We learn not for school, but for life – the Romans already knew and emphasized that we learn for life and not for school. Although… a little moral education in the sense of Flaubert’s „Sentimental Education“ should definitely be included in the school curriculum nowadays. But that’s a whole different topic.

Learning can and should be done throughout life. For the sake of our own mental freshness, but also to use the new knowledge lucratively. Buying stocks and holding them is one thing, favored by none other than the master Kostolany. But occasionally he also speculated. Among other things, he was very successful with Russian old bonds.

Today, speculating is almost synonymous with „trading“, and if your own mentality and character signal a certain affinity for risk, it can certainly be learned – also and especially on the Internet. An overview of what Google & Co. find under the search term „learn to trade“.

Checklist – finding the right learning platform for traders A recommendation: Don’t immediately choose the first learning platform that pops up on Google, Bing & Co. There are several quality criteria to consider when choosing the learning platform that is right for you:

Breadth and depth of content: A good learning platform should cover a wide range of topics – from basics to advanced strategies. Practical application: Practical elements that enable the aspiring trader to implement what they have learned without major problems should definitely be included. Experience of the instructors: The trainers should have extensive experience and demonstrable success in trading. Communities and networking: An active community allows for exchange with other learners. Reviews and proof of success: Authentic reviews from other trainees and documented successes can be indicators of the quality of the training. Price-performance ratio: Expensive does not necessarily mean good. This means that the offer should justify the price. If not, it’s better to stay away. Resources and tools: Access to specialized trading tools and resources can significantly improve learning success and enjoyment.
