If you: - are content with a trial-and-error approach - have friends/colleagues who can give you useful feedback - don't mind making the odd [amusing] mistake then I recommend going self-taught using a combination of &q

This is one of the things I've done a complete about-face on, as I've gotten older and wiser (and, selfishly, when it started affecting me). I used to speak English with a pronounced "Indian" accent, and snark about Indi

Not sure if "dangerous" per se, but the OP's comment about having made millions leveraging on SPY and QQQ over the course of 100+ trades doesn't check out, given that a few days back, they created this throwaway account
