Instructor Details

Jared Passey

 I got started trading Forex in 2003 and took to it like a fish to water, we were trading in a group and soon many of the others started asking me to train them. As I took on clients I found that my trading was sharper because I had to look at things from different perspectives. I have worked with as many as 40 people per week one-on-one. I'm told that I have a gift for recognizing what people need to hear and explaining things so they are easy to understand.

I only work with a hand full of select people at a time now because my time is a lot more valuable to me and I'd rather spend more of it with my family than with students (no offense).

My trading styles focus on manual price action trading, which means that I don't look at trading robots or automated systems. I believe in creating trading strategies that have both a high probability of success and the average wins are greater than the losses.

I love reading charts and finding awesome trades and also helping others do the same.

Good course. There were many terms used without explaining what they meant. Don't forget you are speaking a foreign language to somebody who is trying to understand a totally different world and having an enlightment in terminology is what it is all about at the beginning.

If you are a trading newbie, then this course can be more helpful since it talks about risk management, position sizing, psychology, chart analysis and so on. I'm not a newbie to trading myself, but I did manage to fish out a few useful tidbits regarding forex specifically. It's also well-structured for an overall imntroduction to trading. And it's especially helpful if you use or plan to use MetaTrader since it goes in depth into all of the features. I myself don't use MetaTrader, so half of the course wasn't tailored to my needs and I had to just ignore it. If you decide to take this course, then I'd definitely recommend changing the playback speed to 1.5x or higher. What I liked most is that you get solid, heartfelt advice from an experienced forex trader.

I wish that the instructor would get more hands on on the material and trade with us on the demo account. Or that he can also tell us about when to use different strategies a little more in-depth, like when to use the fibo and so on. Despite this, the course has been great.

I have zero knowledge in forex trading yet I learned a lot from the instructor. He is neutral and not endorsing any products which makes me believes that the instructors intent is really to educate the students eager to learn.

Logical and understandable presentation esp. for newbie or non-traders. Perhaps the use of the "doodle" or pen feature of Powerpoint can greatly improve the explanations: to make actual (trend) lines instead of merely hovering the cursor over the points. Many thanks.

I rated 5/5 as it helped me achieve my objective. I had zero forex knowledge and wanted first intro. The course was neither slow, nor too fast for me and although I did not get to understand 100% of the content, that is what I was looking for. Thanks!

I recently decided to learn about stocks and how they work. I was struggling with it quite a bit before reading about the Forex market. It seemed a little bit more comprehensive and "up my alley". So I came to Udemy to find out more and stumbled onto this course! It was a wonderful introduction and really gave me a great idea of what Forex is..I'm looking forward to learning more and hopefully getting started some time in the near future.

This is an excellent course for anyone starting out Forex trading with MetaTrader 4. The instructor covers a great deal of the software functionality as well as real world skills involved in Forex trading. As a free course it will be more than worth your time! Loved it.

By Luis Arturo Flechas on 7/31/2014

The course is very well structured, starting from the basics to more advance topics, He explains the videos quite clearly and proved to have a very good knowledge of the Forex Market. I want to thank you for providing this fascinating introduction to the forex market. Thanks a lot. Luis Arturo Flechas.

By Maria A on 5/27/2014

This course was ok and it is really good for if you are just starting out, it is also a good refresher course, however I do think that some of the topics covered were not as important as other points that were missed out, for example more time could have been used to explain the different shapes of candle sticks and what they mean. It would have been better if there were more examples, however I would recommend this course. Thank you very much Jared Passey
