When learning a new skill, trade or discipline, invariably we all make mistakes. Armed with the right tools, you can minimise these errors.

This seminar looks at the various mistakes novice traders make and aims to help you avoid them. It is broken up into two sections, conceptual mistakes (mistakes people make in their trading) and platform problems (mistakes people make when using trading software).

A variety of analytical tools available in PureDeal will be used during the seminar and live trades will be placed in real time, tying together all the principles covered.
