What are some of the best courses to take in college?

I can choose which courses to take pretty freely as I am doing a business admin degree as a Plan B in the case my businesses and forex trading were to fail. I am not taking the coursework just to get the degree but trying to assist the most useful ones related to forex and business.

If you were me, which ones would you choose and why? The ones that are most useful and applied to forex.

Thanks a lot

Sincerely,

Marcos

no one?

if it's not towards a degree, save your money..and just go online and take "free courses" to improve forex. forex is not a type of prefession where a school course is going to give you any kind of advantage

Statistics, investing psychology, anything to do with a business plan, growth, budgeting, etc. Those are all courses that are applicable with running a business operation whether it be trading, online, or other business ventures. Practice personal budgeting and personal savings/investments to get some hands on. It's the same thing in business.

Any kind of psychology to help keep your emotions in check and stay impartial while trading might be a good idea, but also try to take course that are in line with the general degree that you are getting

Economics....anything related to business (accounting, business admin etc) in case you are doing stocks.

really calculus I AND II??? trig?

are you trading or are you having intellectual foreplay with price action?

The ability to bullshit verbally is second to none in the world of business. Take at least 2 classes in Speech/Communications and make sure they include lots of public speaking. Most people are terrified of standing up and speaking in front of a room full of people. If this is true for you, just facing down that fear is a value of classes like that. If you go deeper and get into learning about polemics, logic - how to argue and win an argument - all the better.

Otherwise, take classes that require you to write extensively. These could be classes in Business but it might be better if they are outside your field - in Psychology, Philosophy, or History, for instance. Writing forces you to think, examine and organize your thoughts, and then get your ideas across to your readers in an effective way. I am constantly being made aware of how difficult writing well is for many people. In my work, often I am looking at other people's written products - technical reports, feasibility studies, specifications, contract documents, etc - and I am often sad as I do so, because the writing is so bad. I would say I am shocked, but I stopped being shocked a long time ago.

So: learn to speak and to write effectively; learn to communicate. You may be a genius, but if you can't get your ideas across, what good are you?

Otherwise, if you are lucky enough to attend a school with good phys-ed facilities and teachers, take lots of those classes. Take classes in meditation, nutrition, movement/calisthenics, ballroom dancing, chess, solfeggio, basket weaving, cooking, bonsai, or whatever. Spend all the time that you normally spend playing video games or texting poop to your buddies in other pursuits that will make you a well educated, well rounded person.

Good luck.

In my view you should be looking beyond forex. Forex should be a means to an end - a way to accumulate capital so that you can invest it in other ways.
If you become good/excellent at investment (property, shares, etc) you can develop a passive income stream and have a life.
Spend your time studying finance and property investment.

Your business degree should be fine IMO. I have an accounting/finance degree. Mostly useless in regards to trading, but where I found value is in the math and statistical part of it. Obviously, you don't need school for that, but it was going to school that helped discover about trading in the first place. Anyway, from what I have seen people that are typically successful in trading happen to from the backgrounds of engineering, music, mathematics/statistics, and finance. All are math related. Trading is a numbers game.

Something that can discipline your mind into seeing what "is" as opposed to what "isn't". In other words, something that in the live market will have grounded you to ask the question, Am I seeing a pile of chop, or am I seeing a trade opportunity?

An Art related subject perhaps?
