Do any uni's/institutions actually teach trading?

>>2422017
Do you mean like technical analysis? No because its TA to finance is like Astrology to physics.

If you mean theoretical or empirical asset pricing, then yes.

Check these out.
And more particularly these but some of them cost a little.

I didn't mean valuation, and I must say, using volume, MACD/RSI, and bollinger bands, while paying attention to moving averages is a very powerful way to trade. And I'm assuming you're focusing solely on diagrams/patterns of TA, which certainly aren't always accurate, sure. Fundamental analysis is good, but why would I do that, instead just putting my money into an index fund or ETF? Thanks anyway.

Is there anything you would suggest from edx.org? There are some really interesting looking classes, what is realistically applicable is another story. Thanks for this tip.

No. As >>2422071 wrote, asset pricing and portfolio building is all you get.
These basics are actually pretty useful to navigate general markets but in no way shape or form give you an edge.

You will know nothing about managing positions, managing losers, managing gainers, actual market dynamics etc.
The figures as used in standard asset pricing, seem to have the bad habit of expressing a small part of the truth forcibly, and neglecting the other part, as do some people we know. All of these theories about pricing are true part of the time, none of them true all of the time. They are, therefore, dangerous, though sometimes useful.

The main thing is that like all of life’s rich emotional experiences, the full flavor of losing important money cannot be conveyed by literature. You cannot convey to an inexperienced girl what it is truly like to be a wife and mother. There are certain things that cannot be adequately explained to a virgin by words or videos.

What you learn at university is like what fighter jet pilots would learn in a school for commercial pilots. You learn how to stay in the air and fly but they don't teach you actual dogfighting skills and what actually happens in the air.

I get that experience is irreplaceable, but the goal is giving myself and advantage. Any suggestions on something that will give an advantage? They have courses on designing python based trading software I believe.

More than five years ago I downloaded this fat torrent:
https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6647644/Online_Trading_Academy_-_Professional_Trader_Series_DVD_Full_Set

I believe this has given me the best ever preparation for actual trading.
It was filmed in 2003 or 2004 but everything the guy says and shows is still valid and gives you a well-rounded trading education that doesn't leave any gaps. All that has changed is that access to information has become easier.

We need more threads like this (I don't hate crypto, it's just another market at end of the day).

This might be good if you already know how to trade. (If you know few thing about cars, a robot that somehow is able to help you build them is of limited use.)

>>2422376
a ratio of one education thread to every 10 NGR threads seems appropriate.

This man's channel is pretty decent, he's does some solid TA for absolutely free. He does a daily round up of American indexes, agriculture, metals, important currency pairs. You'll pick it up the more you watch. His use of bollinger bands, slow stochastics, and moving averages is interesting. He also breaks down real world events and how they cause/might cause changes in the markets. Very underrated.
