Is learning forex from YouTube sufficient, or should you take a course?

[Bambang Sugiarto]

Learning forex from YouTube provides free and quick access, but the material is often fragmented and unstructured. Paid courses are usually more systematic, offer mentors, and provide hands-on practice. The choice depends on your needs: self-study is cost-effective, or you can take a course for intensive guidance and more focused learning discipline. So which one will you choose?

I got 80% from free YouTube, but my risk management only clicked after a structured course from HFM forced me to journal and get feedback. If budget’s tight, pair YT with a strict plan + public journaling for accountability

I subscribe to a telegram channel for $100  lifetime membership of a forex trader group  and  bought another  lifetime membership  $100 a copier trade  software from Telegram to transfer their trade to my IG-MT4 platform. Why bother studying the complex world of Forex trading when a group of expert forex trader , can do it for you.

Wow, that's great. Does HFM offer free courses? I'm currently using a bonus account from Headway on a trial basis. Are you getting good results there?

Wow, can you recommend it? Is it affiliated with a broker? What broker are you using right now?

Thank you. Can you recommend it so I can study it?

A little research at your own can be appreciated since you know better what you can learn more easier than the rest.

As said by another member, more than 80% stuff is available on the internet is almost free and only need time to spent in order to learn and practice.
