Hello VEGASDESERT, I will share this as it is strictly my opinion for my own trading business and trading journey. It is Free country and people say and do what they want to do. But for my trading business and my learning, I have one rule from now on as far as investing time, money and energy in trading education and it states this. I shall not learn trading from anyone or anything who does not have at least 1-2 year real live track record ever again in my life. It's 2022, and in my humble keep-it-simple opinion, if you can not get your butt on https://www.kinfo.com/leaderboard/profit and prove you can trade to your paying customers, I am not learning from you. Period. I can not afford to be stupid any more. Being stupid has cost me too much money in this trading game. But I respect all people, and what they do. But I got bills pay. And as my grandfather use to say "boy, I see better than I hear.
Generally speaking, the value we receive from understanding a thing is directionally proportional to the effort put into understanding the thing...hope all is well with you SML
LOL, I was more interested in his study re price development and behavior as it pertains to structured setup more than memorizing lists of terms. I have my own vocabulary...for example, what he refers to as H1s, H2's, L1s etc. are variations of flags and zone retracement patterns which is how I perceive them in my trade plan. That's simply one example, the point is concept and understanding trump (apologies to those who are triggered by that word) terminology.
I took what i could from Al and try to make it my own. No longer have any interest in watching his vids, his website, his chat room, nothing. Im done with all that for good.
Well excuse me…I was not aware just anyone could “walk in” without any diligent study and theoretical knowledge and sit in on a “watch me do it heart bypass”. Of course I am hyperbolizing but not just any john henry is gonna get the privilege to watch such stuff without YEARS of study under the belt first. You are making assumptions about Mr Brooks and I’d wager he is never ever going to render you the pleasure of seeing any account of his nor is he ever gonna execute a live trade in front of you and tell you that he is actually doing a live trade. He has his reasons. Besides it is not relevant to YOUR trading. It only proves he can make money in one account even if he did it over a year time period. He could be losing thousands in another account. Furthermore, just seeing someone do it doesn’t not mean you will be able to do it. Many professors don’t even do what they teach. They just teach and draw a salary. That does not mean the principles they teach are wrong and are not useful. Like I said “every man makes his own ship wreck”. Learn really well peoples ideas and test them on a live sim for yourself. That is a better way to make a judgement. Whatever works for one trader may not work well for another trader…because of several reason. Every trader has to find what fits for them.
