Would you attend a "forex broker" seminar on how to trade?

It has come to my attention that most new traders attend such seminars...and i honestly just wanted to here your views on such doings(preferably views from similar 10+ years trading Gurus who occasionally pop in here.)What do you guys think?
(This question was brought up by a student of mine-that i am mentoring for now.Well,being oceans apart with them,they just wanted to know/my opinion/input if since we can't meet face to face frequently can she add to what i'm teaching her by attending such a seminar/s in her country OFFERED BY HER FOREX TRADING BROKER.)

Seniors what do you guys think???
(...is learning from A FOREX BROKER a good idea?)

My opinion:Honestly i got to where i am today by not "trusting brokers for all things" nor listening to any broker about how to trade!!!i always figured doing so was like attending a seminar held by the other side before we go to war.Imagine david attenting Goliath's seminar before going to war.would David have won the historical fight?
Insert:I know some brokers are good and mean well,a few of them-but really???yes i also do remember Technically we aren't at war with Forex trading brokers as such-but aren't they for the most part adding gas to the fire-making them part of the bigger enemy-aka market makers???
THOUGHTS THOUGHTS THOUGHTS!!!???

Dear EXpRINCE,

I find this topic interesting and want to share in the view of a student. What I have noticed is that the seminars (webinars) can be sponsored by forex brokers, but are given by other companies. My conclusion on what benefit brokers have in this is that it should increase trading traffic by their clients.

Webinars (Web Seminars) can be helpful if they cover extra tools and functions of your trading platform/ indicators. While showing exactly "how to trade" is not as helpful as trading is much more than having a mechanical strategy with indicators to tell you when to click the Button. It is up to the viewer to test it for them selves and see if they can take away anything from it. Personally, I have had many little ideas from attending webinars that do make me think and change my approach to trading or at least trying out something new and different.

Attending actual "Live" seminars which are free is almost entirely a waste of time (in most cases) for anyone that has taken the time to learn basics because the entire goal is to sell something by the end of the presentation, because they have to cover costs of the presentation and their time. However, not all of the seminars are bad, just do the best to analyze the content and value your time to see if there is a possibility of getting something out of it.

It may be also an opportunity to ask some questions to help reinforce your knowledge.

Finally, I would add a small list of questions to ask yourself or student before considering watching a seminar/ webinar:
1) What may I learn from this?
2) Can I learn more on this topic online without attending this seminar?
3) What could be the presenter's goal? (Sell me something / Teach something)
4) Is there any questions that I can ask that will help me grow?

I hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Tzamo
