Bottom line, learning to trade is difficult and requires a lot of time and effort. Studying the work of smart people in the field is an important part of the journey but we all end trading somewhat differently and matter our sources, we have to find methodologies, time frames and strategies, rules etc which fit us individually.
Al Brooks video

100% agree.
Al Brooks is a joke. He is an educator, course, salesman...not a trader.
Literally anybody can pull up past, hindsight, charts....and explain everything with clarity why it moved the way it does...and when to buy and sell.
Everyone on TV and on social media does that nonsense foolery.
Yea, right.
There is a reason the say....around 99% of traders fail. because they essentially Do. It's very rare to be truly successful in this endeavor where the trader can really print money. And not just match the S&P annual average or beat it by a few percent only! that's nothing performance.
Al's credibility comes from the fact that he is definitely not stupid nor is his offspring.
A simple internet search shows he's not lying about his family being ivy league
nerds. Its hard to imagine he's a sleazy charlatan although its certainly possible.
Not sure why he's not more transparent about his performance though, head scratcher.
Trumps tax return leaker could have given us something more interesting.
Where you born yesterday?! Being an ivy league grad doesn't mean you are an expert trader.
He has fooled simple people like you.
I stand by my stance....that man is a bogus trader --- course educator salesman only.
There's a reason he doesn't talk about his actual, real, trading peformance....Because it's Null and void and nothing.
Ever hear of the phrase.....Those who can do...Do, those who can't....Teach,
of course it doesnt but what im saying is the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
if you earned a few million with honest hard work in a previous technical profession (eye surgeon) that takes brains and your immediate family also is taking the hard smart honest route then its hard to imagine you have
it in you to be a sleazy liar.. just doesnt work that way typically.
There ARE people out there who call their trades in advance and/or are transparent about the positions they open and close AS they open and close them. So, why do guys like Al get such a following if it's not clear they can trade in real time? Are folks just not aware of the alternative teachers that exist?
Show me your broker statements that display you have made at least $500,000 from the Holy teachings of Al Brooks.....and I'll literally shut up about all course educators forever.
Hell, just display $50,000 or 5,000 in net trading profits from Al Brooks, and i'll shut up about all course educators forever.
You can't do that, can you,.....I rest my case, you have been essentially conned,
Nothing disrespectful about that. The bottom line is Al is just another vendor who's never proven his profitability. The same goes for almost all ET journals. They cherry pick and don't keep a running P&L of every single trade.
He has no trading room- what he does there is talk, draw lines, and talk, use arrows and talk but there is no trading at all - heck his demo video is from 2013 - get me a break.
