This thread is dead, it needs to be closed! A very good thread it was, but there's no real content on this thread anymore . . .
I've been watching a few of AMT's videos and although the narration is clear, I'm getting the impression that the calls are not as accurate as it previously seemed when AMT was posting here. I'd opt for better accuracy than better media any day
AMT never admitted Fulcrum connection. May be someone from this forum just made up the service and calling bullshit... I saw few guys here who pretend they understood how it works.. Making the website up and running could take 5 days and 300 dollars. Anyone could do that.
As soon as someone starts selling something their credibility as a trader has to come into question. There is absolutely no need to sell subscriptions, charts, anything if you are a good trader. I always wonder. Philanthropy? Charity? hopefully.
Since trading is a competitive sport, only naive followers/subscribers would tend to believe that the info dispensed to them for very low cost is a holy grail system ready to be traded. IMHO, what AMT provided for free (on this and earlier threads) and now thru a blog/subscription, can only be viewed as general education on the topic of delta volume breakdown and not as a ready-to-use trading methodology. Moreover, it's naive to believe that AMT's trading prowess can be inferred from the fact that he's operating a subscription website. Think about it, if this were to compromise his true trading edge, he wouldn't do it, would you?
My concern is not about the content of the material. My concern is why? Why sell anything if you are a good trader. You certainly don't need too.
It's a valid question (I do realize it hasn't been really addressed it in my post) which AMT is the best person to answer while everyone can merely speculate on.
maxima, its his, i know ppl who subscribe and who have verified his identification on the videos. its a combination of him and his buddy who he helped promise to make the blog. but its him in the videos.
fair enough.. as to why successful traders sell anything... i dont mean to be rude but only person who never had real money can ask that. there are 2 major things. a - there is never enough money; b - trading is very intense and consuming, like professional sport or being in SAS or a cop in bad quarters or a pilot you cant trade forewer. you got cash invest it. buy a restaurant or a shop or sell you knowledge other the internet. I am sure that good half of trading services sold for money are real genuine things.. it just losers created one of those myths that good traders dont sell their secrets. they do it just most of us arent able to understand it let alone make money from it. i am not sure but i had impression from AMT posts that he did pay pretty good money for his education a while back. and it seems to be a good investment. so please stop saying your crappy mantras, go back to your desk and make 10 ES points!
