all this vendor honesty stuff reminds me of some of my less credible chat room experiences
1) i think it was tradingplaces, where the lead guy (chris?) had fake members posting in the room about how well they were doing....

2) of course, anthony@pacific....i spent it week with him to "watch him trade" in real time....led to one of my worse losses ever...(shorting KKD in the post-IPO squeeze)...and had him explain to me how he front-ran the calls in the private room....me, in my infinite greed, continued to trade with him for much too long, although i left well before the feces hit the fan
3) those who "wax" eloquent even to this day
having said that, there are a few who i've had worthwhile experiences with:
1) threei/nesi....straightforward....entry price, stop loss....good luck...no hype
2) michail shaidkin....
http://www.traderpulse.com....more of a chat room, but michail's short-term trading is often profitable to participate in...
3) my former mentor, chuck dukas, maintains a website based service, no chat room
http://www.trendadvisor.com/index.htm...calls with entries and exits are made before the market opens....performance history is there....
I, in my less than infinite wisdom, participate in none of them any longer, although learned something valuable from all of them....i prefer the solitude of non-chat based trading
