Quote from mynd66
I'm not buying any of these apples to orange analogies supporting the fact that unprofitable traders can make good teachers. The fact that someone can not make money trading would probably mean that they sure as hell cant teach trading.

You can continue mynd66 in your strong belief(to your grave) that a trader who does not show proof that he can make money cannot teach either, but ultimately who the hell is going to care anyway. Wake up, we live in a capitalistic world & inevitably there will always be people that seek to exploit the ignorance of others for profit. A so called trading guru is under no obligation to disclose his profit & loss column to you or anyone, nor is a trader under obligation to pay him anything either, if a trader does not like this, pay him nothing, no one will be exploited, incredibly simple. So you really can't have your cake & eat it too can you mynd66?
It's utterly pathetic to hear traders just complain & complain how gurus are out to extract money from them. It's up to investors & traders to separate the wheat from the chaff & some unfortunately are horrible at separating fact from fiction until it's too late & it's usually money that is lost as a penalty for not being properly informed. There is a learning curve involved in this business of trading & struggling traders are repeatedly seeking a quick solution to their problem that typically requires months or longer to reach proficiency, otherwise they bitch, it's not sensible to think that way.
And just because a trader can show proof that he can make money does not insinuate that he's also a good teacher & vice versa, any dummy should know that.
