Hello Volpri,
So let me ask you something:
When should a trader stop listening to Brooks course and conclude it makes no money?
1 year? 2 year? 3 years......10 years? 20 years?

Hello volpri,
I do not know how long I been working at my trading methods. I do not track the time.
That depends on many things. Ones time available which you said in your post you didn’t have. Ones psychological makeup and hangups. I know nothing about yours. Ones cognitive ability to ferret out and understand what he is talking about. I know nothing about yours. Ones patience and willingness to persist and practice in order to get good at their craft. Yes, Tom Brady is a multi millionaire but because he persisted and still persists, at 44 years of age, to dedicate what is necessary, to keep him at the top of his craft.
Do you mean you do not know when you decided to ditch Brooks and try something else that seems to be successful for you?
Volpri,
Excuse my bluntness sir. I think we see life different as it pertains to trading.
I only see trading as making fast money every day. One more time with great emphasis. I only see trading as making fast money Every day. By trading alot of contracts in the future market.
I only treat trading like a business ONLY. Its about business to me. If I put in the time and energy and effort, it is mandatory, I get a reward.
For example, to be blunt. and from a business perspective.
If my next door neighbor, says give me $5000 to show you how to making money trading everyday, and I give him $5000, and he does not show me how to make money everyday, I am beating the fuck out of my next door neighbor because he lied to me and took my $5000. Even if he gives me the $5000 back, he may still catch ass whipping depending on how much time I wasted. If he tells me be patient, I will whip his ass again, just for disrespecting me telling me to be patient or go work harder.
Are you following me now.
Brooks charge me $400 for a course on his website where it says the course shows how to make money. I watched the course, the course does not show how to make money everyday. Brooks is not going to get an ass whipping from me, because I can live with a loss of $400.
So, my point is this. And this only me speaking, I do not know you other guys. If someone charge me a fee to teach me how to trade to make money, and what is being taught is not making ME money. This person is a pimp, a liar, a con , a fraud, and he taking advantage of me and my time and effort.
However, if the person says, he I "think" this makes money or maybe it does and he not charging me a dime. Ok its all good. This is fair business, I make the decision to proceed with this person.
You understand me now?
So you ask me how much time I put in or how hard I work is actually stupid to me and disrespectful. What does it matter how much time I put in or how hard I worked. I paid for service from Brooks, I studied the course, I practice the course, I traded the methods. They MAKE no money.

Volpri,
You bragging on Al Brooks stuff and vouching for his course, so again answer this simple question for me.
When should a trader stop listening to Brooks course and conclude it makes no money?
1 year? 2 year? 3 years........10 years? 20 years? 30 years?
Or is a man/woman suppose to keep trying forever? A man suppose to lose time from his wife and kids, studying Al Brooks forever and keep trying and working hard??
What the man suppose to say when his wife says "When will you make money from all this time you putting in trading" ? He suppose say "Volpri, on ET says keeps on working hard and trying and give it another X years"?
You vouching for Brooks, so please answer these questions for me.
So again, all you grown ass men on ET vouching for Brooks answer these questions up here. Cause Brooks not going to answer them for his students, he going to say it takes a long time. For me, I can not afford to hear that bullshit no more. And if any man got some sense and bills to pay, they can not hear either.
Also, what is a man suppose to say when the wife says "well does Al Brooks makes money from this course you studying everyday"? What is the man suppose say then? I guess he just stand there like a damn pussy in front of wife and say "well baby, I do not even know, I guess he do"?
What the man suppose to say when his wife says "Have you even seen Al Brooks trade before, you spending all this time studying something from someone who never trades daily, not even one trade, how about a day of trading". Once again, the guy stands there like a damn pussy and say "no baby, I have not seen Brooks trade not even 1 time". Lol. Then she gives him the mop and say, "mop the floor clown"
Answer these questions.

When such a person concludes he has no more time to put in it, is not willing to dedicate more time and practice, and decides that what Brooks teaches is not the route he wants to go. You obviously have decided that that is the case for you so you stopped listening to Brooks videos and I suppose stopped reading his books.
For you, then, you have made the right decision. There is nothing wrong with that. You have moved in to other things. That is OK. What is not Ok is to say Brooks stuff is bullshit.
Volpri,
Brooks stuff is without a shadow of a doubt, for certainty, Bullshit.
Why is it Bullshit? Because Brooks or none of his students have any solid proof what brooks teaches in that video course makes money.
Again, its about making money volpri, and to me, if something do not make money in this trading business, it is pure bullshit.
volpri,
You still ducking my question and bullshitting. How much time should a trader dedicate and practice sir? I need a number. You vouching for Brooks, so you need to provide a statement when a trader should stop studying brooks course and what he teaches?
If you do not know, just say you do not know.
Since you have jettison Brooks bullshit teachings (as you call it) from your mind why not consider someone who might wish to learn Brooks and donate your video course password to them and your Brooks books. If you cannot find anyone that would love to have them I can help. I know someone. That would be a good gesture me thinks but it may be a terrible gesture from your perspective.
However, since you no longer need Brooks, or his teachings, and you no longer look at them you might want to consider donating them. Why not?
