Which course is recommended for a beginner?

If you’re interested in trading, the best place to start is a beginner-friendly trading course. It will guide you step by step, teach you the basics of the market, how to read price movements, and manage risk properly. Instead of learning randomly from videos or tips online, a structured course helps you build confidence and real skills from the ground up.

For example, courses like those from Vision Freedom Academy (VFA) are designed specifically for beginners, giving you mentorship and practical exercises so you can start trading with understanding and discipline. It’s the fastest and safest way to go from knowing nothing to becoming a confident trader.

Hey there, Jet here from TradingwithRayner

If you wish to invest in the markets, then I highly recommend John Bogle's book "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing"

But if you wish to get started in financial trading, then I suggest you invest your time on Rayner's free trading academy here: https://www.tradingwithrayner.com/academy/

If you think that trading is something you wish to pursue in the long-run, then you may want to invest in a trading course (which I don't think is the right time to discuss)

As long as you know what trading course you are investing I, and resonate and believe in the mentors, it would be a great investment and a great way to shorten your learning curve.

I understand that there can be a lot of people who are skeptical about following "gurus" and buying "courses" but in the end, it's really about your personal journey towards growth and self-improvement, not all courses and gurus are for everyone, but for some, it may just change their lives​​​

There is no special knowledge or secret tips, just plain underacknowledged truths

(don't trust gurus oe expert media stock tips, reduce fees, do longterm buy & hold, do not stock pick but go passive with index ETFs, do not invest into Unit Trusts or Crypto etc etc)

Please do not pay for any courses. They are not worth it as a ton of the things they teach can be found online for FREE.

Seedly provides a comprehensive guide here which covers most of the things Singaporeans would need before they embark on their investing journey.

Investopedia provides a ton of terminology that a new investor would need to understand, things such as bid/ask spread, IPOs and many more.

For stock research, I quite like using Yahoo Finance, Morningstar and Seeking Alpha as they provide comprehensive information about a company's financial health as well as reports.

Reddit is also another wonderful source for investing resources. You can check out the sidebars of the subreddit r/investing, and r/stocks for various resources on how to screen stocks, risk management and more.

TL:DR: Don't pay for courses, they are never worth it. Comprehensive information can be found online for FREE.​​​
