I still feel the best solution would be to trade under the supervision of an experienced trader initially. That covers both the aspects- theory and practical. Even international cricketers have to go back to iron out their deficiencies. Then how can a mere seminar straightaway enable you to straightaway start trading where real money is involved. When an MBA passes out , do they straightaway put him in charge of a company. In Japan, they make them go through the grind irrespective of qualification or university. That is because there is a slip between the cup and the lip which here can prove to be dangerous. Credits observation is right- if one tries to learn swimming, in the initial phases the fear of water itself becomes a barrier. Best is to have a coach not teacher or instructor
As for people who claim to be good after attending seminars, my 10 year old son also thinks that he plays well enough to make it to the Indian cricket team . Let traderji or some thorough pro or a team of pros examine people who come out of seminars- I would really love to see how well they fare. If it were so simple, that institute in the US would not keep a special faculty for each subject, take exams and give life time free one to one computer sessions.
I dont know about Bombay but Viratechs people in Delhi have themselves admitted that they do not know much since they have no trading experience which implies that one to one guidance on the computer becomes impossible. It is actually a reflection of Equis. The two companies where I worked- all the marketing people knew the product threadbare. In one company, the production guys job was put on the line if any complaint from the customer about a salespersons ignorance because he used to train them every fortnight. In the other company, all marketing people knew the lighting software thoroughly because lighting design was provided free to customers the way Equis gives free workshops in America. I suppose we can afford to miss all that since the sharmarket is after all easy money even considering more than 90% failure.
You can look at what Traderji has written in Deewali Greetings in the Introductions section. I would add that not only psychologically even technically the novices are vulnerable and despite much superior education, there are American accounts of losing ones trading account- DEEWAALA and not li. Therefore do not dillydally in learning fully.
To end on ahumorous note, I think sex is the only subject where Seminars may prove somewhat useful for since realtime coaching is not possible.
