Obviously you don't need to say more, and have firmly made up your own mind - as is your right, of course. With absolutely no disrespect intended, if you prefer to believe what Emmett Moore says (rather than - for example - what the insightful "Overthehill" says in his post on the previous page of this thread) and choose to be influenced by it, then in my opinion you're probably making a judgment to your own detriment. I'll declare my own bias openly (since we all have them): I'm one of the many people posting in a trading forum who probably wouldn't be making a living at all without having benefitted greatly from a detailed study of Al Brooks' work - difficult and demanding though that study is.
The pumping and dumping of trading education , books , courses and seminars worked .There were plenty of sales of his books , courses and seminars.Now his accomplices dissapeared , after dismal failure in a journal thread by Cornix. Certainly he has made of lot of sales and money and sucked up unsuspecting new traders into buying the subjective garbage.Other vendors have dissapeared after their pumping and dumping of education , seminars and books did not work.
“He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.” George Bernard Shaw, Maxims for Revolutionists: Education. Man and Superman, 1903. Thanks Shaw, this one little quote has caused countless numbers of teachers grief over the years. It is a quote that most people would be familiar with, and certainly every teacher I know has heard it, at least once. Probably directed at them for amusement value from a non teaching friend or relative. And that hurts, the implication being that you are unable to do anything else in life. It pretty much defines the view of the teaching profession, certainly in my experiences. Low level of respect, low level of pay, low level of benefits. Teachers in North America, Australia and the UK often have a tough time with their careers, the high turnover of teachers in these countries is testament to that.If this analogy is applied to trading educators , then ..................... I think phsychology is more important than technical , that is there are no phsychology courses sold on forex factory , except on subjective price action , freely available on you tube.
