I have been a member of Puretick and Trade the Market's daily newsletter. I can write a lot about Puretick but I will jot a few positives and negatives. My conclusion is that you can not make a decent profit with Puretick and also with Trade the Market.
John Carter mostly uses his squeeze indicator and sets very large stops. Two stop outs in a row can really hurt. Hubert Senters, uses very small stops and reads tape and the ticks. He will use larger sizes because of his small targets. Either trader seems to have no problem with drawdown. They have free nightly videos. I feel that is good enough education from them.
Puretick also has many free videos. You can really get a feel for his trading system from that. Alex does explain his system many times in the room. I feel his system is flawed because he scales into a position. By that, I mean he adds to a position only when it goes against him. He never scales into a position that is going in the right direction. Profit Navigation does not work because of that premise. If he went in the position with full contract size and got out 7, 10 and 15 ticks like he teaches in his trading room, he would be profitable. This logic means that 100% of stop outs will be with a larger size than a good trade that works right away.
Also, I kept track of his buzzer and the price in his track record and it is right about 80% of the time. That may sound good but that is the difference of making money or losing money. Thus, the system using the buzzer is not more profitable than 80% and with 30 point stops and targets 7, 10, 15, it can not be profitable.
I recommend ThinkorSwim broker because they are amazing with all free stuff. They have two chatrooms that are free. One is with Shadowtrader and the other is with David Elliott. Both teach all day long. Shadowtrader, or Brad will go over the ES and the market internals all day. He will also give advice on any stocks you ask. Elliott through TOS gives all his indicatiors to you for free. He doesn't talk as much but teaches every night too.
Also, they have a free chatroom with tradersaudio, with Ben giving trader pit commentary.
The data feeds and charts etc are free. No monthly fees ever for anything. You can still tade on your platform but will need an active account to get all this.
The bottom line is that you can get educated for free.
