Al Brooks video

That's from Ali Moin-Afshari, an Al Brooks student who has a quant startup based on Brooks trading techniques.

If you think that the fee is not reasonable, you are not his target audience. He is targeting quant funds and HFT firms. Those firms can pull in hundreds of thousands of dollars a month with just small edges, and 10-15k is peanuts.

Investor Business Daily charged $1500 for MarketSmith for normal traders, but over $50000 per year for a similar product for institutions. Different clients.

As expected, our friend @MacBookProHo has jumped to a quick conclusion that this is additional evidence that Al Brooks is a crook, because he couldn't tell Ali from Al. LOL.

Al Brooks' work is hard, but as any successful traders would tell you, there is no easy path in trading. If one studies trading long enough, he would know that Al Brooks' work is an extension of the common trading techniques based on market cycles and patterns from Robert D. Edwards and John Magee's work in Technical Analysis of Stock Trends which has been proved effective for so many traders.

Edwards & Magee is such a classic text. Market structure is market structure but to all the naysayers; "nothing works", "all gurus are scammers", "if you can't trade, teach", "the market is different now", and whatever other current excuse that shifts accountability away from personal responsibility.

The commodity that we all share is time. Those most critical of any particular methodology, strategy or tactic haven't really invested the time to understand the proper context for it's effectiveness.

Time is what most noobs want to save on their path to riches vs investing that time to understand durable principles of market operations.

Then why is he also selling tutoring, instead of just trading?

Learn one, do one, teach one.

Those critical of traders whom teach just don't "get it". Teaching gives one access to another level of understanding and legacy. It's basis comes from a different motivation than the accumulation of money.

It's more accurate to say that it is sourced from inspiration rather than motivation.

The one's that are deserving of the criticism, arguably are the one's whom teaching is motivated by money. I'd assert that this domain of teacher isn't as valuable as the inspired one.

I don't know his motivation. But as a startup, he may want to have more revenue streams, or he may want to find partners and funding through tutoring connections.

Or as you may imply, he could be a crook. Everybody has to find their own truth about trading and trading education. I am not here to defend him or anybody and just wanted to provide useful information for everybody to make their own judgement.
 
It's always about the F'n Money/Power. Period.

There is no noble pursuit, or higher cause, to teaching about trading....and selling as many bogus, theory, courses and expensive subscriptions as you can to all the amateur, naive, dumb, gullible people out there with dreams of $$$$ signs in their eyes.

Don't kid yourself there. Don't kid yourself about the nature of humans and reality.
If you happen to disagree with me, you have been brainwashed and are a zombie sheep MF.

Al Brooks, and all trading so-called gurus, are nothing more than a Cult Leader....trying to brainwash and recruit more followers just to enrich and benefit their cause.

You know I'm right,
But are still defending those types because you have previously bought their presentation material. and you now feel ashamed and guilty and conned.

Tbh, you sound young and inexperienced. Your perspective of the world is based on assumptions that you regard as fact when they are just non-factual based opinions.

You have experienced traders stating the value of the work if you invest the time. The only time you seem to invest in is in berating anyone whom doesn't agree with you.

Congratulations on finding YOUR OWN truth about trading education or even about life, which is ... about Money/Power.

That's YOUR OWN opinion. NOTHING more and NOTHING less. Once you have an opinion, you only see the evidences that support you, and ignore any evidences that may say otherwise. And that's just to prove that "I am right" for your own EGO. I have seen many such people in trading and they all failed miserably in trading as they always tried to prove they were right against the market.

I've spoken my peace.
Reread my post reply a minimum of ten times....before that reality and logic seeps into your mind and bloodstream -- and changes your perspective,

Better yet, show me your trading account statements that display you've grown 10K into 100K....using....Al Brooks.....and I'll shut up forever about all trading....gurus,
If you can't produce such documents....then by default, Al Brooks is essentially running a con game out to just enrich and benefit Himself Only at the expense of the f'n dumb, gullible, naive, public,

I'm not critical of those who teach and trade. Only those who just teach.

I, like many others have yet to see whether or not Al or now this Ali guy trade. Maybe they do? But why is asking the question not relevant?
