Mini-Class: Buyer's Guide To Algo Trading Courses
For years, I have been telling new traders to first learn as much as they can before risking real money in the markets.
After all, trading is hard, and most people lose. The best way to learn, I used to recommend, was to get a bunch of trading books, and just read, read, read.
That was great advice up until a few years ago, before Amazon took over the world. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Amazon, and I’ve self-published books with them, and as an author I follow all their rules about reviews and other aspects.
Problem is not all authors follow the rules. For example, many pay for reviews, to make their book look better. This is a blatant violation of Amazon’s rules.
Here is an example I just found, and there are a ton of trading books (and other books, and products as well) now doing this scam.

Do any of these sound real?:
"The author well writes it?"
"I recommend the book to both new vendors and stars?"
"Well written by author this book?"
To me, they sound like they were written by non-English speakers as the best case, but worst case they likely were written by machine review spinning algos. TIP#1: Read reviews, make sure they sound real.
So, my old advice about reading any trading book is out the window. That is a shame. It means TODAY you have to be careful about not only the high priced trading courses you might want to buy, but even the low priced books!
It is treacherous out there.
