Went to their website for info and all they do is recommend buying books or their vendors programs. Anyone have this experience?
Did you ask a generic and broad question about learning and people told you to read books? Perfectly normal if so.
They appear to be a group on non trading complainers looking to blame someone or something for their failures.
No. Was formerly Big Mike Trading, a few years ago. Lots of webinars, reviews, etc. You can become an Elite member if you like (100 USD), but there is no requirement to do so. I used Big Mike (pre futures.io) a number of years ago, when I was heavily into Ninjatrader, but not so much now.
