[Laissez Faire]

Regarding the whole argument about how fat slobs coach top athletes.

How many of these coaches are available to some random dude for $199.99 on the internet?

Hello trend2009,

I am student of Al Brooks for 2 years and no winning year/month and still not good enough. I am not being negative on him just telling the truth. My other friend studying him 5 years and no money made either. In addition, I know about 3 others who has stop trading all together from this guy teaching cause the losses piled on them and they loss confidence and just gave up from the losing. His teaching is not good. I do not listen to his video course anymore.

And I was disappointed in SIM trades here in video below. He talk and sell all these books and course and all this scalping stuff and does not even trade real money. I am not buying any more discretionary trading books or videos courses. And his chat room is $99 per month and he never show his account balance for trading. He can keep his trading setups or edge, just give trader some confidence in his results.

I do not give damn what anyone says here at ET, if you can not trade real money and show your results for 1 year in real time, STOP requesting money/time/energy/effort from people to teach and sell them courses.

If you want to teach and not trade real money, teach for FREE.

So many innocent traders are getting scammed in this trading industry from this crap. It is damn shame.

Thank you for this honest reply.

A general problem with mentoring and the educational business is that most who enter this business are completely green and easily impressed and it's SO easy to actually think you're making progress and that you're learning something of value.

And by the time you figure out it's mostly BS you already spent a few years chasing a dead end.

Plenty of Al Brooks fanboys on this site. Never saw any proof that anyone of them made any serious $$$.

When I sold a daytrading manual in the early to mid 90s I enclosed 122 months of my monthly statements.

Much respect as always.
You are the [great] exception in this business. Thank you.

to be fair that does not discredit Brooks..........after all 95% of all traders lose and that figure includes many other teachers as well......

and if i made 'any serious usd' why would i provide proof...? except to the IRS.

not everyone wants to tout for clients

What did it say?

the 500 dollar book is about using cycle to predict reversal

How is that working for you?

I already knew that stuff before I bought it. I never traded based on that. Totally wasted 500 dollars. Anyway, I wasted all the money for all those books jammed on my bookshelf. I seldom buy any books for the last decade

Good Morning Laissez Faire,

You are 1000% correct.

What you wrote there in blue is sooo true and only an experienced trader knows this. I know now.

That is why it is soo important for my trading business going forward, DEMAND proof. I am not asking for it, I am DEMANDING it. I am the customer, I come first. Fuck all that 2 week trial, 10,000 hours for practice, keep working hard, stay discipline, make better reads, be patient, try this and try that BULLSHIT. I do all that , after proof verification. Show me the money, or get no money. And get out my damn face. Lol

Very good point. Show me the Moneyyyyyyy.

I don't have a vast library but I re-read a lot of the books I have and borrow those that I don't have from the library. It's surprising what you might pick up on a second or third reading.

Initially I just kind of scanned the books looking for the "Secret". I figure all that other stuff just didn't apply to me. Now as I go back over them I look for stuff I missed the first and second time I read the books. You're never too old to learn something new.
