I am not affiliated with Earn To Trade, nor any of the other business conceptual setups of learning/earning in this fashion, never have spoken to any of them. But how is this any different than going to college? We or government pays for the education, books but not our time, then hopefully get hired and then whoever has to teach us our jobs. If you were to become realty agent, you only get paid when you sell a house and had to pay for education so you can get licensed.
People, ever wonder why college is required for most professional employment where they going to teach you how to do your job? To reduce the masses from applying, college costs money and your lost time of getting through it. Employers don't want a non knowledgeable dimwit who don't already has "time invested". If there was no cost upfront, there be MASSES of people doing several accounts at one time like Larry Williams had when he made over 10,000%, one of them made it big. I am sure whatever the costs to do one account, they not making a fortune, they could never handle masses of people applying, you have to pay employees enough to keep them from going elsewhere. You think what you pay is going to cover an employee more than half week wage?
As far as one who offers to front someone to trade has to have rigid rules and only seeking the best of the best, I think it is insane payout 80% to people who mostly don't have funds to trade without someone else's funds. And 2 months is like not enough time to give anyone, if someone was to become a CTA, have to pass test, get lawyers to set up documents, CPA to keep track of the numbers then start a history of your own trading as most people want to know how well you done past 3 years, all this and charge 20%.
Nothing in America is free, are you?
Education is not free, ever add up how much you lost in money going to college four years?
