Al Brooks trading room

Quote from ammo:

shak,if you watch time and sales at the turns,supp,res you will see a lot of 100 lot traders,you can also see em at nite(20's and 50's) on the volume spikes,i doubt they make many trades per day but they are out there

I know they are out there ammo. And way bigger as well.

What is obvious is that neither Al nor AustinP belong to that group.

Quote from kentraderstar:

who are the few that can make 1 point per day?

The ones that make 1 point per day or more do not have live rooms to supplement their income, to begin with.

Quote from austinp:

yes, yes... exactly right

I know. The truth is unpalatable to you eh?. Why have you failed publically dozens of times to build your size/account, yet are still pretending that you succeeded at the very same task?.

I know the answer to that one too.

Quote from shakira:

In a famous quote in his book he says something like: Even making 1 point in ES per day with 100 contracts would net you 7 figures a year.

Is he making 7 figures a year averaging 1 ES point per day or more?.

YES or NO

That should tell everything about Al Brooks that anyone could possibly want to know about Al Brooks or any other of these vendor/trader types.

Everything else is just BS and excuses.

Can he even make ONE TENTH of that?. If the answer is NO then he shouldn't be "teaching", and you shouldn't be buying education from him.

Quote from shakira:

Obviously you cannot trade 10 CL contracts profitably nor 10 ES contracts profitably and prove it to your live room subscribers.

Obviously you can run a live room and envy Al's more successful live room.

LOL, weren't you the putz who last week announced that you had, um, performed, um, WHOOPEE, during real-time trading hours?

Until you can keep it in your pants until at least 4:00, perhaps you should keep your trading recommendations to yourself.

I am reading his FAQs, it is interesting. I have found this:

"I will say, though, that you might have noticed that I emphasize trades with the potential to make 4 points of profit and am less interested in 1 point scalps."

So plenty of time to call a trade, if he would want to do so....

So you say that having sex, while the market runs to my ultimate predetermined and announced hours in advance target, while the computer automatically manages my open position is a bad idea?.

You must be friends with jjf.

You probably could learn something from Al, as I did.

I have been a consistently profitable trader of the ES, primarily, for several years, and Al's observations have made me money. My trading has improved.

And isn't that what counts?

Live room? Never. A waste of money and, more importantly, time.

But his book is worth reading, carefully, and the free articles on the site are worth reading as well. Considering that most published books and articles on trading are worth less than the paper they are printed on, that is quite an accomplishment.

I wouldn't call it a "trading room" really. I would characterize it
as a "supplement to the book" room. If you're interested in the book,
it's a way to really understand what exactly he is talking about in his book and things of that nature.

You could think about it like a college class sort of. You buy the book and go to class for a little while and listen to the instructor ask questions, etc. At some point you'll feel like you got enough out of it and move on.

From that perspective then it may be worth it, for a while at least, as you say.

Yet the ultimate question lingers: Is the guy "teaching" you "stuff", the real deal or not?.

It's not like he is charging $3,000 like that AustinP character charges for crap that he can't himself trade profitably, except when he is selling it.
