Herzklopfen,

Make sure you find a teacher who actually trades and has a verifiable long term trading record.

I paid one guy $1000 to teach me to trade. He claimed to have traded for 3 years in the Futures market and the Forex market profitably.

Later I found out the guy had no real trading experience and he had read a few books and articles on the internet. I also found out that he had destroyed the accounts of others he traded.

Do not just beleive the statement that person shows. A statement can be easily edited to reflect positve results. Ask that person to give onlice access to the broker or have that person login in front of you to the broker and show you the account statement.

What he taugh me can be found on the internet for free.

Regards,
Mangman
