No education is complete until it is taught by someone who knows it better. I have attended two programs from Marketcalls – Divergence and Tradezilla – and can recommend to anyone with the zeal to learn the correct way in trading from Rajandran. My knowledge about markets has overall improved since January 2016, as I picked up the basics of Market Profile and Amibroker – and, as a bonus, got some basics in trading psychology too
