My name is D. Adams and read the complaint by Santosh about Learn to Trade and Invest-The Fractal Futures Trader. His complaints about the trade room and the course are essentially correct. At the time of his enrollment, I was just beginning a treatment regimen for an aggressive prostate cancer and eventually was prescribed necessary but debilitating amounts of morphine and was sick from the treatment regimen. I was a mess; the room was a mess; and I was oblivious to the problems in the room and my mentoring, which was subpar. Further, I did not realize the effect this condition had upon my disposition, or didn't want to realize it. I nodded off on several occasions and was slurring badly during the trading room hours; and traded in a fairly mediocre fashion. Dr. Dean Handley was in the room and was tracking my trades in the room and documented I traded with a winning percentage of 86% (six ticks or more) and slowly dropped off to the 50% range. I should not have been trading, but can honestly say I was not cognizant of my deteriorating behavior until a long time member gently said "stop" until your health improves. I took his advice and took a 4 month hiatus.
Some of the long term members of my program were aware of the problem, and I chose not to disclose the condition to those outside my inner circle of trading partners. That was probably a mistake, too. There were 6 new traders who received a pretty raw deal, of which 3 I have been able to locate and make amends. A fourth trader in the group of six was so irritated he refused any reparation. I invite Santosh to contact me to remedy his situation.
After a return to health and no subsequent relapse (not yet, anyway)the room is going well and no one is complaining, as they were during Santosh's experience. All of the pre-cancer clients are back in the room and plenty of new traders. I just wish things had not gotten out of control to the point I had to be told to stop trading.
