As part of my pre-work, Axia recommends training my hand-eye coordination.

They recommended this site: https://aim400kg.com/

Needless to say, I suck at these games presently.

Let me know how it goes! I did the same course when these traders/tutors were at futex. A few words of advice-they hit you with a lot of stuff and a lot of it is guff that you don't need to know. I reckon they could condense it down into a week and focus on set ups based on positioning of traders (Support/Resistance basically) and then looking at what triggers are available to show that price is changing direction/going to continue in the same direction. If there is something that you are interested in then really PIN THEM DOWN and get them to discuss it in detail. Also, when using tools like Bookmap or numbers bars/market delta and order flow, PIN THEM DOWN on specific set ups and how they, as traders, use it SPECIFICALLY. Am emphasising these points because I found these vital components missing as they will say they're just trying to get you to understand the data, you just need to interpret it. I hope this new course doesn't fall at this last hurdle.

Has the course you helped you? By helped I obviously mean has it improved your trading and made you consistently profitable?

As I am going through the pre-work and consulting external resources, I learned something after eight years of trading-- I don't understand market microstructure and what exactly moves the markets. Then again, I'm not sure if I need to know about the aforementioned. Only time will tell.

Forget about trading full-time. Learning to trade is a full-time job. I left the workforce last year. Presently, I swing trade. And the bulk of my days are spent learning things that I don't know. I got 18 to 24 months, to make trading full-time work, before I have to return to the workforce, or dip into my long-term investment. It might be the latter, because I can't return to an office or even a remote job.

Apologies. I'm scheduled to start today. But I don't have the time to attend live. It is already 12:50 a.m. EDT and class starts in a few hours. I go to bed just when class is supposed to start. I'll just have to watch the replays on my own time. So, review of the live class won't be forthcoming.

Hi there,
Did you do the course and if so what are your thoughts?

@iq200,

That's the question that matters most, and honestly, it's the one most people dodge.

Here's what comes up again and again in order flow education discussions -- including quite a few Axia Futures review threads here on NexusFi:

Courses teach concepts. They don't teach you.

What I mean is -- understanding absorption, delta, footprint patterns, auction imbalances -- that's the information part. Axia's footprint edge content is generally well-regarded for covering that ground. Some members here have pointed out you can get a solid foundation just from their free YouTube webinars before spending money on the full course.

But the gap between "I understand what absorption looks like on a footprint chart" and "I can trade this profitably" is enormous. That gap is filled by:

• Screen time -- hundreds of hours watching price action with these tools
• Journaling -- tracking what setups actually work for you specifically
• Risk management -- which no course can enforce for you
• Psychology -- handling the difference between demo clarity and live-money fog

Keab's advice about pinning instructors down on specific setups is spot-on. The biggest criticism of most order flow courses -- not just Axia -- is they teach you to read the data but leave you to figure out the trading part yourself.

If you're evaluating whether to invest in a course, I'd suggest starting with the free material available on YouTube, then spending time in communities like this one where traders share real experiences with these tools. Some of our most useful footprint and order flow discussions have come from members posting their own charts and getting direct feedback -- which is something no course replicates.
