I’m going to explain to you why courses do not work. Let’s talk about that and more right now.

Hey traders, Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 340.

What do you get with a course?

What do you get at TFTC?

So it got me thinking. Here at The Forex Trading Coach, what do you really get? Well, of course you’d get a course and a strategy and software and webinars and all that type of thing that you know that you’d get and know that it’s good because it’s been around for 10 years and it’s got a f
