Well, I gave up $300 for access to Prof's site and I can say conclusively it's been a colossal waste of my time.
Here's why:
-Like others have said he flip-flops on his "perfect rules" all the time. Maybe he's settled on a system for now but I guarantee he'll change it in a month or two. Since September his rules have changed three times, all major revisions, barely recognizable from the last iteration. He's constantly making changes.
-His rules are convoluted to the point that you can interpret them however you like. "Simple" is the last word I'd use to describe them. "Perfect" is a joke, in this regard. Bill, however, makes it sound like it's a one-sentence system that any ol' idiot can follow.
-What he says in the chatroom is unbelievably vague. Definitely not too close to what his rules pages say (which, by the way, have gaping holes regarding entries and exits). If you question him or a "system" entry he flies into a rage instantly and brow-beats you. If you ask him to post a live trade he'll go off on you for 15 minutes straight. All the while he's implying you're a complete idiot for not understanding his "perfect" and "simple" rules. He never has and never will post a single live trade.
-NOT A SINGLE PERSON in the chat room makes money. I've PM'd countless people in the room and they all say the same thing. "Still learning," "not sure of the entries," etc. I signed up for the website in Sep/04, and the chat room has been open since about Feb. If the system were actually simple, people would be making money by now. Someone would be. They're not.
On the plus side, he is rather generous with his time, accepting phone calls to help anyone with trading. Now that he's charging several thousand a pop for his seminar, though, it all makes "perfect" sense to me.
I don't believe Bill trades the system he teaches (if he trades at all). He claims he only goes for 2 points a day and then has a neat little section on his site that spells out how riches can be yours if you scale up your contract size while making 2 pts a day. If that were the case Prof should be worth in the 9 figure range, having supposedly traded this way for a decade. Bill is full of BS.
Prof has been around ET for a long time and has been part of countless threads. Usually, people attack him and his methods. How come no one has EVER stepped up and said "yes, I've learned Bill's system and make money with it." Shit, I'd be all over anyone like a rabid dog who dared question Bill's qualifications if I had made money using his ideas.
The one thing I thank him for is a relatively cheap lesson in snake oil sales. I know that I will not learn trading from someone selling something. Since leaving this crap behind the system I've worked out for myself, with no one's help, is coming along very nicely. Thanks, Bill! Hope you make lots of money from your seminar suckers.
