What do you most value about the trading courses that you have already taken? what thing would you never learn again if you were back then?

[Amadeus.V]

after watching different trading courses there are some parts that I would never watch again and the time I spent watching them, I consider wasted. like indicators, and some other parts, I still watch once a while, like trading psychology. now you tell me what do you categorize these two groups ?

The most useless things are probably those learned the first years: candlestick patterns, classic technical analysis (triangle etc.)
They probably worked in the 1990s, with few players.

Then I would not spend time searching for the best indicator, best oscillator, and best strategy with 100% profit (as all new traders do the first years). The best indicators/oscillators are the most used ones (MA, RSI, MACD, etc.). The "alternative oscillator" is alternative for a reason.

I value most the fact that all strategies work better on higher timeframes. 1 minute to 30 minute timeframes tend to give too many false signals.

If you look the AUD/USD on daily timeframe, a double top pattern worked well in the last days. I would use them as an "addition"

I like your mindset a lot. I agree with every single point you mentioned, just maybe not about candle patterns i actually kinda use them for conformation and that usually works well.

long ago I found this https://www.bullchart.de/ta/candle/index2.php
(in german language) with all the original japanese patterns and names.
you don't find all of them in western books (usually taken from american books of the 1980s/90s) but I find it too aleatory.
