but I don't hold 'educators' in a high regard. They're mostly full of it and are only in it to make money of you.
I completely agree. If the website looks too slick, that is what really gets me. All of these website that teach just look the same. I would much prefer a home grown type of website that isn't too commercial, if I was forced to pick something that I think looks decent.
In that video, its just so obvious that the speaker isn't in a real trading room, and yet, the illusion they want to give is that all those people in the background are their traders. At least this is what they imply given how they shot it.
Now I did take a second to look over the J Park guy's twitter, and at the very least, he seems to catalog every trade, every day. I cannot speak to the accuracy of the proposed trades (and it would be nice to see fills on the charts he posts), but its at least nice to see an attempt to show how the wins and losses stack up.

I find that if the guys here at ET did a bit more of this, it would be a huge step forward. I mean the answer to trading is really in the stats of your trades. It doesn't matter what one loss or win looks like, but when you see how they stack up, trade after trade, then its obvious what is going on. So seeing this on his twitter at least gives you something to work with from an analysis point of view.
