gary,
Why would audited results, etc. be needed?
Before I would be willing to pay serious money to a stranger to personally coach me in trading I would certainly want to see verified proof of their trading ability. In other words, Show Me the P&L.
Hell, many people on this board were demanding that Chartwiz produce ongoing audited results just to continue posting free educational links to his website! And it's well known that Chris works exclusively with Linda Bradford Raschke and was personally trained by her.
To me, that was way out of line, and downright insulting. But to require that of a person coming to my home (or me going to his) to train me is very reasonable, assuming of course that I'm not familiar with their trading history. For if they haven't been successful trading, then why would I want them to train me? And if they're unknown, then how else am I going to know if they're successful?
