more bad on brandonf

Time to throw my 2 cents into the ring...

In my view vendors such as Brandon (and his business and personal partner, Toni) are absolutely legitimate... in the absence of a mentor physically sitting next to you (always the best form of education), online and real-time access to people like Brandon would, in my view, most certainly lessen the learning curve costs for a new trader....

Whether or not new traders are emotionally compatible with a vendor's trading approach is precisely why people like Brandon (whom I have a great deal of time and respect for) offer trial subscriptions... it is a no-risk proposition...

Brandon (www.tradingfrommainstreet.com) has a great deal of market knowledge, and is one of the handful of vendors (others include threei at www.realitytrader.com and Tony Oz at www.tonyoz.com) that I do not hesitate to recommend to newer traders, so that they can get through their learning curve with enough capital left over in order to make a living from this game...

There is a great deal of snake oil amongst vendors (pr**t**e.com comes to mind as an example), and when new traders ask me for recommendations, I never hesitate to recommend the above three vendors who have been providing quality education for a number of years...

Are you now or have you ever been a paid subscriber?

If so, for how long?

If not, how do you know whether they are consistently profitable traders or not?
 
What I would like to say to Brandon is this:

I was on trial in TradingfromMainstreet (where he was a mentor) and in the chat rooms there were almost never buy/sell signals for ES, NQ, etc.

I was not looking for a pick service, but I only wanted to make sure that his trading method really worked. Thats why I needed to hear signals.

So I was wondering if this is already changed in your current room. Otherwise people can't form an opinion about your services :)

Thank you
 
Hello:

Just one more time for the record. I read these posts, and it is hard not to laugh.

I understand the pessimism and the suspicions of those who have been burned. Seems to me that there are a lot of scam artists who see the financial industry as a place of opportunity.

Again, I want to mention that in other businesses and professions, vendors obtain new clients and then try to build their businesses by word of mouth and references. I don't want to know what Brandon made last year. What I would like is to talk to 5 clients who used his service, and found that it added value to their work. I would have a series of questions for them relating to my own needs. Based on what I learned in these interviews I would try to make an informed decision. Deciding whether to use a service vendor is not different than hiring an employee.

By the way, I have no comment about Brandon as I don't know him, and I am not looking for a vendor. This is just my opinon on the subject generally.

Good luck everyone,
Lefty

I have an observation to make here. And please note that this observation is in no way a reflection on Brandon, whom I know nothing about. Generally speaking, what assurances do you have that the 5 names you are given by anyone in vendorland are actually 5 legitimate customers (as opposed to, say, "customer service reprersentatives" in disguise)? There is sufficient slime in this business that I would be very unlikely to take anything at face value. Unfortunate, yes. But true.

For example, Larry Williams is apparently flooded with testimonials from people who curiously only have a single letter for a last name. However, I have no doubt that, if prodded, he will give you names of people to call. And if you buy anything of his, then I desperately need to sell you a bridge.
