This has been an interesting week in the FDT rooms, to say the least. Instead of addressing the issues, Blue went into "attack" mode. Of course, us members posting to this site, are "bad" people, and have to be stopped. To ask for the truth, to point out that Blue misrepresented himself by holding himself out as a fantastic trader (maybe the greatest trader of all time), is obviously a no-no.
Ask yourself this question: If Blue was the one he proclaims to be, "one of the best traders who has ever lived", why would this even be an issue? This thread would never have existed, because there would be no reason for it to exist. Everyone would have known that Blue was a fantastic trader.
But what would a con man do? He will first of all, try to ridicule and lash out against the people who has written the truth. He will threaten with legal actions, talking about all the lawyers he will engage and all the money he will spend on tracing down these people. He will try to scare anyone who tries to tell the truth.
Just think of this. Blue has had 2 years to prove he is the trader he claims to be. Yet, the only proof we have, is his own words. We have not seen any account statements as proof of his success, and we certainly have not seen him calling trades consistently with 90%+ winners as he claims. He has promised to trade with us many times, but when the time comes for him to do so, there is always an excuse for why he cannot do it.
Is that a sign of a good trader? Of course not!
Katie, we all feel for the things you have gone through. You have gotten more than your share of bad experiences life throws at us. I wish you well and hope your dad will be ok.
I am also very happy for your trading. It sounds like you are doing very well, and I hope you will continue to do well.
However, you said it does not matter to you if Blue trades or not. Lad said the same thing.
But if you knew that Blue is not the super trader he holds himself out to be, would that not matter to you?
If your answer is "no", then I guess discussion is over. If you are fine with that, then good luck to you. If the truth does not matter to you, what does?
Trader 100, you still accept what Blue is telling us, as the truth, yet you have nothing but his words to back it up. You claim that "He traded a 100k account up to over $4 mill in 9 months".
How do you know that to be true? Just because Blue said so, right?
You should talk to the customer of Blue, the account owner, and listen to what he has to say.
Somebody did, and got a totally different story of what actually happened!
Oh, here is another thing I will suggest to you, Trader 100 or any other room member. Maybe you live close to Blue, or if you don't mind travel, ask if you can come visit Blue and sit with him and watch him trade for a full day, if not a full week. He has repeatedly told us he will do anything he can to help each one of us. So why is it that those who have visited him, did not see him trade?
If he is the super trader he proclaims to be, he would be delighted to have you watch him trade, after all, you have already paid him for it.
I certainly can understand some of you who just became FDT members, will look at people who has posted here, as negative. Some of you refer to us as "traitors". You shouldn't say that, because I don't know any member who does not want us all to become super traders.
But how can Blue teach you and me to become super traders on his system, if he cannot trade it himself?
Where is your thinking?
If Blue had come out and told us the truth about who he is, before we paid him the big doe, this thread would not have existed. And me for sure, and probably you as well, would never have signed up for his class.
