Hi,
If your thinking of trading or attempting to apply someone elses strategy to the equities markets ASX/ International it would make sense to firstly understand your tolerance to risk. The presenter's of these seminars have no idea of your risk tolerance and will guard themselves with disclaimer's and request you sign them prior to commiting your money to their strategy.
Here's something to help you
Contact your nearest reputable investment / financial advisor who will (for FREE) provide you a 1 hour consultation and provide you an understanding of your risk tolerance to investing. When you know your risk tolerance you will have a good understanding if the strategy the presenter is offerring fits. Much better use of your time than sitting in a seminar.
If you have a High Risk tolerance - meaning commitment of investing approx > 70% - < 90% of your capital into the equities market ASX and international then I would look at long term as opposed to short term trading (in and out of the market). There has been many a study published by reputable companies and associations i.e. Morningstar, Finsia, and the AFA that detail that over the long term if you are to trade on a short term basis with CFDs, Options Forex etc then you are likely to break even or lose money.
I have worked for many of the larger institutional banks as an Analyst and behind the scenes it is a regimented environmment with next to zero human decision making required when entering and exiting the market on a trade.
There are an increasing number of structured investment products delivered by the banks that utilise CFDs, Forex, and Options as part of their overall strategy. Instead of spending your money on courses and learning the many strategies for trading yourself why not utilise good advisors (do your homework and interview many) and understand the investment products and how they can be used to assist you in your wealth creation.
Thanks
