I agree that the performance records are minimally useful. I do one only because "everyone else does" and it is the most-visited page on my site.
That's one reason why I also include several months worth of downloadable transcripts - to see how I sound, how I teach, what you can learn, what the training style and level of specific how-to information I share is, and Please compare with anyone else out there.
I believe that people who sign up for a chat room should be there primarily to Learn How to Trade for themselves, vs jumping on a "buy it now" type alert, which is unfortunately what the majority of rooms do.
No rationale or reason is given by many chat room ops (other than "it's running, futures uptick noodles pop let's all go buy cien" type of amateur approaches).
I agree that everyone should try out all the rooms for themselves, and go with an approach and a trader who they feel comfortable learning from, who will actually teach them. "momentum gambling' type of rooms are dangerous, risky places in my opinion.
That's why my primary focus is on realtime training: how to use the COMPQ, TRINQ , sector charts and stock charts correctly, how to route your orders, how to spot the right chart patterns etc. The live trade calls are there to illustrate the performance of the techniques I use.
To my knowledge, I am the only person running a live training and trading room that, for example, shows traders the actual pro monitor setup I'm using:
http://www.Daytrading-University.com/6mon.gif and even provide the source esignal files in 3- 4- and 5-monitor versions for any traders that want them, to use themselves.
I'm also the only person who wants traders to only stay 3-6 months max before moving on yourself. A good trading room should have as its PRIMARY GOAL to TRAIN TRADERS how to do this Independently without handholding. Many of these chat room types are bs'ers who want traders to stay there forever, paying monthly fees, vs being there to learn, then move on and trade on their own. As a teacher, I am not successful unless people learn from me, then can stand on their own two feet and trade on their own.
Ask others, "what's your entry criteria?" "why exit here?", and "can I see the monitor screencap of your personal rig?" and see what kind of answers you get. The credibility of whoever's running the room, is your responses.
Also, listen to guys like Tony Oz, Barry Rudd, Mark Seleznov, others who are professional traders and can genuinely help as well.
Hope that helps,
Ken
