Books or Videos - Which one is better for learning?
Jul 20, 2021 at 11:20
In my opinion videos are quite good as the visual element may be more instructive to some people instead of simply reading. However it is important to find good quality videos that are well explained. I would supplement with reading articles and news regularly, as well as check forums as traders share a lot of personal experiences taht are very helpful.

I have always referred to books over videos. Books are more detailed and easy to access .

I'm personally convinced that it really doesn't matter which way of learning you prefer. You know that every trader is individual and prefer various types of learning. One can claim that the best educational content are videos and podcasts, others state that there is nothing better than educational books. So, it's up to you which way you will choose. Moreover, you can combine these types. The matter is to create your first personal strategy how to master trading activity. You make a plan like how many time per day you will dedicate to learning and what themese you will learn. Everything is quite intuitive.

Both are good for learning. But I prefer video for learning especially for newbies.

Both source of information are the best ones actually. You have to read books in case you want to know some theory about trading activity and understand how does the market form the price on particular asset. If you are bored of reading books you can also watch some videos in the internet from professional traders. Moreover, if you will dedicate lots of time to the process of searching for a broker, you can find a broker which will provide you with educational content which is created specially for new traders.

You should take a hybrid approach. Initially, you can use books and courses to clear the fundamentals and concepts. Then, move on the video lectures on technical analysis, how to create strategies, and other practical lessons. Implementing is more important. Whatever you choose, make sure you make the best out of it.

For me, videos work more well than books as it helps in delivering the ideas more clearly.

Depends which medium is best for you. Some need more visual aids and spoken word. Other find it boring.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

Very interesting, really this is a matter of concern. But I think more knowledge can be gained from books. However, it is possible to get a lot of information from the video.

I prefer reading books over watching videos. My concentration usually dwindles when someone else is speaking continuously and I’ve to listen. I can focus more while reading but I know the majority of people retain information better through videos.

Of course, videos are far more effective than books. However, I think that nothing can beat demo trading in terms of effectiveness. It teaches much better because it teaches through practice.
I think that trading on a real account is even more effective. I realize that it’s an enormous challenge but sooner or later I will have to try it.

Book reading is one of the most inexpensive ways of learning about stock market trading. You can grab any of the top sellers and read it to get a deep insight into how the stock market works. By reading books you can understand the things that you must do and avoid as a beginner. The best part about reading books is that they are cheap and you can learn a lot of things about the stock market at a minimal cost. Articles in business journals, business websites, etc. are an excellent way of gaining stock market knowledge and information. There are many popular websites and blog pages where you can regularly visit and read the articles. This is a terrific way of learning about the stock market at no extra cost.

Personally, being an avid reader, I prefer books more than videos as they help in giving an in-depth knowledge about all concepts. Some books that helped me during my forex journey are:
Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, by Steve Nison
How to Make a Living Trading Foreign Exchange, by Courtney D. Smith
Forex Trading: The Basics Explained in Simple Terms, by Jim Brown

synaphea posted:Yes! Combining both visuals and textual information enhances the quality of retention of the information.
Why would anyone have to choose one out of these? Both of these are good sources of knowledge and when you combine both of these, you will be able to learn and revise at the same time.

Actually, it varies from person to person. Some are good listeners, while others learn quickly by reading books. I personally prefer watching videos and practising on demo account.

Both are good sources to learn about forex. I mostly refer to “The Little Book of Common Sense Investing” by Jack Bogle and “A Random Walk Down Wall Street'' by Burton G. Apart from this I follow the school of pipsology on babypips.
