“I find the Comprehensive Course very helpful and had opened a different perspective from for my daily work here at SachsenEnergie AG. Especially for people working as both Traders and Analysts, and relying only on fundamental analysis, the Technical Analysis course will be a boon. The best thing about the course is it is well suited for both beginners as well as for experts.”
