I have signed up for and am currently studying for a post-graduate diploma at the University of Essex (all online) called as Financial Trading Analysis, or FTA for short.
You can read about the course here, the current course is running now. It lasts four months, and the next one will presumably be in early 2016. It was produced in co-operation with FXStreet.com.
A lot of the course involves FX and index trading on MetaTrader4 and Darwinex.com, and writing up the reasons for those trades. There is then a module on fundamental portfolios, using Google Finance to record the portfolio performance, and using their screener to select stocks.
The material I am doing for the course uses real live data, and I thought it might be useful to document the material I am writing for my assignments and other contributions.
I chose this one over the many courses available because it is validated by a real university, and therefore the quality of the material is assured.
Keep watching the blog for updates.
