Of all the trading courses I have done in the last few years, this one is different. This course is run by Louise Bedford and Chris Tate, well known and respected traders in Australia.

This was great if a trade was moving in my direction but if you add in leverage, the losses were magnified as well and I could easily have been wiped out.
