Appreciate your comments.Good question, it's about how much is provided for free, to earn trust, vs more comprehensive in depth training & more alerts etc traders pay for.
Like free samples at Costco, or shareware vs full version software
For example, over 5k traders have registered for my free Saturday webinars, which cover a few great charts, market updates, eventually many go on to join my live room for daily alerts, training and coaching.
Bonus: all week I'm doing free daily 3:30pm 'closing bell' webinars you can join at https://trademastery.com/ttofree/ to recap today's hot charts like INO etc
Mentors and education

Hello trader2713,
I do not make money trading,., yet. So takes this for what it is worth.
1. DO NOT trade real money until you have 1 year of consistent real sim profits.
2. Whoever you hire, ask to see 5 years of tax trading broker records. Have them screen share into their broker account via skype so you really see they make money. Have them screenshare skype for a week to watch them trade live . Get a 3rd party audit of their trading records.
That is all I can say if you trying to hire a mentor.
Trading course.....you will just have to buy a few to see which ones help you the most. You rather spend money on trading education first. Get educated and practice.
As for me. I am liking Al Brooks Trading Course for now. But who knows, I probably be buying another soon. Cost of tuition, just like a college course.

How do you prove to your members you actually make consistent money the past 5 years? Tax records or 3rd party verification service?
I do not make any performance nor profitability claims of any kind, per compliance regs. The reason I've been trusted by thousands of active traders since 1999 is because I teach actual lessons learned from real money trades I've done.
Here's what some of my seminar attendees have said:

Thanks for the response.
Correct me if I am wrong, but compliance regulators does not require trading service or vendors to show proof making money or 3rd party verification to their customers that they actually make money?
No, I am a publisher of educational information, not a investment advisor. Like an author, which I am, there is no performance claims being made (ref. SEC 'publishers exemption'). I'm honest, unlike educators who make noncompliant winning performance % claims etc.
btw I completely agree with your point re don't trade live til consistent on sim first

Thank you KCalhoun for the clarification.
Yes, without a doubt, trade sim first. Atleast all money goes to trading education and sim fees, and not losing to making mistakes and lack confidence and knowledge and lack of skills and bad habits.
Is that a book recommendation: Evidence Based Technical Analysis?
Yes, that is the book.
