Finished editing? Good.

No pivots this time. The answer to that is obvious, yes, definitely "kill" this particular messenger as he is also a bad actor.

So many posting here, their whole or most involves vendor reviews. Emmett uses fake accounts all the time. hmm..

Here is a hard truth. After speaking with a couple of brokers, only people who have been taught from scratch or were noticeably successful in their careers BEFORE trading (physical injuries like me, early retirees) generally make it.

The great industry deception is that most even had a chance in the first place.

If you want fairness, Futures should be made Pro only so people have to pass regulated exams. It is a shiny ticket to heartache and bitterness for most.

Now can you address something else? Like who is to be trusted to gather all this proof?

So it sound you clear yourself as one that made it. Nice. Why should we give a $*8?Do you share profits with us? do you like to teach us to be profitable like you? Please do. Let me see how good u are in live trading and I will do my best to get you to teach me...

No need to see your bank account of broker records. Just call the in/out trades in real time and we can count +/- points daily. Deal? if you do not, cannot, don't want too, maybe you should not criticizes/support others that never call trade live.

Pivot. I said no pivots so in fairness I don't need to respond.

Anyone else on the who to be trusted with all the proof of live trading question?

I'll have to re-post my original soon to stop it dropping back in the thread, that old trick eh?

Sam, I'm happy to stop but I think we can finish this.

I posted above a few time calling not to listen to so called "gurus" like Al that do not call live trades and do not show trading accounts for live trading. Good luck with whatever you sell.

Anyone want to buy what I'm selling?

This is one of "Pete's" recent posts, enraged in all caps. Sounds like a well man? This is in response to some lady trying to give advice on obsessive posting to someone else?

Would a good man let people get this messed up and obsessive without intervening? I suspect outrage is profitable.

I ask again, politey:

This thread was started for review of Al's course, and it has been hijacked by those with an agenda which in my opinion is not for the benefit of traders on this site. I read the review on the trading schools site ("Emmett") and it is beyond ridiculous. The review doesn't have one fact. It is just bloviated opinions and the conclusion that Al is a charlatan because the reviewer says so. Why does anyone believe this clown over a long time respected educator who has explained his approach in three books ? You can read Al's material for yourself and see if it works or not. Perhaps Al's competition wants him out of the way because he is giving away more real information in his free presentations than they do in their $5000 courses.

Wanna buy a bridge?

I can give you free presentations, pictures from all sides, free booklet about its history, can arrange for you a virtual tour, etc.

BTW, I have the deed but I will not show it to you...

What BM was saying was: "the requirement to be a good teacher does not require you are good at what you teach."

In plain English, one can be a good teacher (of a profitable method) but a lousy trader of it. I called this earlier the "do as I say not as I do" problem.

This was my #3 point in post #232:

"It is basically the case of being a better teacher than a trader."

The ( most likely psychological) reasons could be multiple: not patient enough, taking revenge trades, inconsistency, fear of putting a position on, etc.

Now we usually expect a person to be good at what he is teaching, but that is not always the case. An example would be, hell, if you guys are not getting this, an example won't help.

---------------------------------------------

The guy who got 5 stars from Emmett just opened up a futures trading room , where:

"will analyze charts for the S&P 500 E-Mini, Gold and Oil futures and will place trades and then manage them for maximum profit and minimum risk."

His legal disclaimer is pretty interesting too.

No I get it but what you guys don't seem to get is that the vendor of said education product should be able to demonstrate that he does trade and that he should be able to trade it profitably otherwise why is he/she selling something that even he/she can't make money with. Is that clear enough for you or do you require an example?
