I have bought Al Brooks' Trading Course

[londonkid]

I'm still going through Al Brooks's videos. Well over half way through. I've been taking notes. Will not bother watching all of them. Should be done by the end of the week. Will report back here.

i bet your coffee consumption has gone through the roof, you know what I am talking about. How do you stay awake through those vids lol. Interesting that you paid solid green for those vids and you say you are not going to watch all of them. You still can get your refund in the 30 day refund window, quick take it now before Al treats the family to Dunkin Donuts (*joke).

I have seen much worse but I don't see any value there.

GL.

Play those videos back at 1.5x or even greater, go through em pdq. Don't want to increase coffee consumption since i'm currently short Dec Coffee

you say you are not going to watch all of them

Some of the videos relate to trading setups that i have no interest in...i suppose i might blast through them at 5x playback just in case there is something...

only been 14 days since i bot the course, plenty of time for refund purposes, if required.

another correlation is if you throw out enough bait someone will bite lol

Lol-- . Sometimes, yet rarely, it's pretty, young girls who bite---even on elite-trader -- im living proof of this

I am seriously interested to know if Al will freely return your money ( making him a legit vendor in my eyes) or hassle u over it.

Keep us posted.

during one of his recent seminars, al confirmed that if unhappy with his products, he would
gladly refund in full without any problem,

but would his back office does likewise, is the question?

Al Brooks says that price bars are fractal across different time frames e.g. they are the same whether they be 5 second, 1 min , 1 hour, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. I don't think i agree with this.

At the smaller intraday times frames, the 5 sec, 1 minute etc, much of the price movement is being caused by machines e.g. algos and hft and also dumb retail money. Whereas on bigger time frames e.g. daily, weekly, monthly, price reflects non machine money e.g. smart money, institutional trading, hedge fund trading. Therefore why should the price patterns be the same? Thoughts?

Brooks is correct. Price is fractal.

Well written algos are fractal. Their conceptual basis is universally true in original form and it's variants are equally sound. Observable in a multitude of recurring child processes or twists of logic.

Similar themes and algos exist in all timeframes. This is especially true for devious logic which initially goes against intuitive nature. Tho once understood, intuition shifts to the new paradigm.

Logic is fractal. Price is fractal **only** as a consequence of the repetitive logic within algos, but price is definitely fractal.

I recall Vic Sperandeo saying something in his classic book, methods of a wall street master, that intraday price patterns should be characterised differently from higher time frame patterns.

I have been through his videos several times... Here is my take....

Easier to digest and understand than his books... so for that alone I give him a positive.

Some useful information about a wide variety of topics that is indexed by video, so you can always go back fairly easily and review any topic..

If you are looking to come out of this with a trading plan or method, you will be sorely disappointed. None of Al's material gives you a trading plan . It is best used to stimulate your thinking so you can develop a plan for the market that you trade.

I give Al credit for opening my eyes as to the concept of trapped traders . He is one of the few instructors who dwells on this concept and it ended up being pivotal in my thinking and plan development as a trader.

So.. for the price.. I think his videos are valuable and should be kept for future reference.

Best to all,

Wolf

I intend to study this course intently and see if there is anything that will enhance my trading. If not, I will request a full refund ($249). There are 36 hours of videos to watch. I'll make notes on each video with a critical eye. I intend to watch 3 to 4 hours a day. I will post my satisfaction or otherwise here.

I recall watching a free video of his along time ago and had to give up on it. It was so tedious and purely because he is a vendor he didn't strike me as being credible. Having said that one comment he made which struck a chord within me was something along the lines of 'trade in the direction that price is moving'. Seems good advice . The meaning I took from that was don't enter a trade based only on price being percieved as having a good value.
