FWIW, I think you go too far.
I went to the Bright trading course many years ago. I can tell you that at the time I did not know of these particular strategies. I learned alot and while I could not use the strategies recommended because I stayed retail, it did get me thinking about how professional traders approach the stock market, and in particular the listed market (I came from a futures and automated systems approach to trading.)
Is it worth $1000
today? Back then I think it was because getting real world experience when money was flying all over the place was worth it. Today, in my opinion the cost of the class should be at most $500 because there just isn't that much money to be made by trading this way. But here is the thing - People estimate what their time/knowledge coupled with the demand for what they are offering is worth and charge accordingly.
As people continue to pay $1000 to continue to go to these classes, why would Bright reduce the cost? In a capitalist market, demand and supply creates the price.
What I do find funny though is that people that keep attacking Don for this thread. The Opening Only strategy has been completely discussed on ET many times. If you read through all the "Opening" threads, you can put it together. Further, Pairs trading is no secret either. What exactly is he selling if you get the strategy here on ET? There is only one answer to that - Bright Trading brokerage, because in order to do these strategies correctly, you have to have access to lots of capital.
Although I have reservations with the way that profits are reported on ET with these strategies because there is no mention of the leverage used or the commission payed, I don't think there is anything wrong with the rest of it.

If my posts were really valuable to you, then you wouldn't have had them deleted! The fact remains, I get just as many PM's from former Boot campers that thought is was a waste of both their time and money and wish that I had started speaking the truth much sooner, so they could have saved 5 or 10 thousand dollars. You know the crap you pull at the class and on here, How you ask people not to submit negative reviews, how you have negative posts deleted off this thread, and even had people banned for "speaking the truth".
