I have no disagreement with you there and what you're saying goes without saying, of course. That part isn't even crossing my mind at all. My issue is everyone(literally everyone that's not an exaggeration in this case) always focuses on "people selling courses" ad nauseam. To me stealing peoples emotional capital, misleading them and being disingenuous just so you feed your ego or for whatever reason, is just as bad as people who sell courses, in some cases maybe even more damaging long term. Because than the new traders or people they are "helping" really get taken for a ride following their advice, when the people giving the advice either don't know or purposely hide how they got there or how they actually make money trading.
I'm misleading people and being disingenuous by pointing out that fake trading gurus use hindsight to give the illusion that they get almost every call right so that they can sell courses? I'm not entertaining you anymore. You're starting to come off as an ICT shill. Normally, ICT shills are very disrespectful when it comes to anyone questioning fake gurus but it seems like you're trying to shill for ICT passively because there are experienced traders here who are more likely to see through BS than some Twitter, Instagram or YouTube comment section.
I had the impression he was offering private mentorship, too. Regardless, if he doesn't or no longer charges anything, that doesn't change anything, IMHO. He's still getting something out of it. There have been and still are plenty of unprofitable gurus on ET as well who loves to 'teach' for free.
You assume I am talking about you when we've had virtually no interaction with each other besides a few post on this thread. I was not talking about you. I clearly stated what I was talking about. I already gave my view on ICT and it was not any type of glorious praise. You're repeating something that almost every single person on these boards says over and over and over again. I was saying something that I have not seen ONE PERSON on these boards ever mention even once and I personally find that odd. It's like you approach everything from a me vs you angle, like I said haven't interacted with you enough, so please stop looking at things from that lens.
He did that I think about 5yrs ago. Then scammers were catfish shilling their own private mentorships using his content. This led him to release his content for free. I don't know of many whom are teaching for free on ET. Maybe years ago like my personal hero JH. That doesn't take away from your point but it all comes down to those willing to do the work that others are unwilling to do. Folks can be profitable with simple EMA's. The technical content is maybe 10% of what's required, the rest is what happens between the ears. I attribute this to why there is such a broad spectrum of reviews of any method. I think skepticism needs to be balanced with open-mindedness; trust yet verify type of attitude.
Sprout doesn't want people to watch the emini hit piece on Michael Huddleston but MH did indeed offer a for fee private mentorship group and he has admitted he made many more $$$ from charging mentorship fees than he ever did from trading. These admissions were recorded and are included in the video I linked above. Huddleston's ICT youtube channel now has nearly 1 million subscribers. His channel is monetized. It is estimated that a youtube channel that has a million subs will gross about $936K/year, so yes, LF, you are right: There is most certainly something in it for Huddleston to continue to convince people he has some special sauce that will make them successful if they just waste spend enough of their life watching his videos.
Bruh, I watched the vid when it was released, assigning motive to my statements is foolish. What I said still stands, and yet nothing wrong with your perspective, there's truth to the aspect of his YT business. Some have found value, some haven't, so what, everyone should do their own due diligence.
I saw his first interview on YouTube. He comes across as a bit quirky. Furthermore, he's definitely a Jesus freak.
