I have no defense against such accusations because they don’t come from a man in a public forum but rather from a shadow, a voice in the dark.Įveryone says, “You can’t trust what you read on the internet.” yet people will likely base their opinion of me by what they read on this forum. It is far too easy in the age of the internet to condemn a mans character anonymously. At my character, my honor and my integrity. Many if not all of the issues listed here have been corrected, but if for some reason you are still not satisfied please call me and I’d be happy to work with you to find a solution.īut the majority of the comments here have been directed at me personally. I have taken each of these to heart and am constantly evaluating what I do. I have seen some comments here about my program in general. It’s not simple, and there are no easy fixes. But I still refuse to sugar coat what is required to succeed in this industry. I’d like to think both my ability to coach traders as well as the methods I use to teach the theories and principles in my programs have grown and improved over the years. But it was very ineffective with the rest of the group. It was extremely effective with former military or with people who wanted a drill sergeant as their coach. Over time I found this approach did not work well at all in my coaching. The majority of my life had been spent surrounded by people who responded very well to plain speech and who had very thick skin. When I first started coaching traders I used an approach that served me well in the Marines. But while my intentions have always been honorable, my approach at times has been less than effective. I try to identify and separate the 20 percent from the 80 and focus my efforts on bringing them into my programs. I don’t pull punches and I challenge traders head-on who come to me with false assumptions about this business and what it takes to become consistently profitable. So I took, and still do take a very hard line with anyone I offer my program to. If I know 80% of the people I’m talking to are uncoachable, do I weed out those who are not likely to succeed from those who have the right mindset and commitment necessary to become a consistently profitable trader? Doing this effectively is the only way I can do the work I do, and sleep soundly at night knowing I was not taking advantage of people. Trading is an incredibly tough business and if you are not 120% committed to being a success and treating it like a business you won’t succeed. For the 80%, no amount of training, education, or NASA system will make them successful. Namely that a huge portion of the people you are talking to will never be successful. On of the hard things about being a coach is dealing with the reality of this industry. I have always worked from the assumption that my responsibility as a coach is to improve the trading habits and hopefully the success of the traders who entrusted me with that responsibility. I can assure you that I am neither one of these things. I’m very passionate about trading and I have seen men (and women) struggle for years while people selling them products and services told them what they wanted to hear.īeing a former Marine my passion and lack of tact at times comes across as uncaring or even egotistical. I’ve been reading through some of your posts and although many of them are years old, it still makes sense to response.įIrst, to those of you who were offended or hurt by anything I might have said to you during the course of our encounter, I’d like to apologize. I’d like to take a moment if you’d allow me, and respond to some of the comments here. Death by 1000 cuts for someone who follows this guy too long. Good wake up call for how sophisticated scam can be in this industry. Uses NLP to hook traders into his trading methodology.
Claims to be expert in politics, world economy etc, many times just cherry picks events or trades when he was "right" and mutes the other side, if his "marine" story background is to trust have been outside US as mercenary where he got his "broad and open" experience and understanding of the world. His pattern trading "methodology" is based on market blips against the trend. Technically it is not a scam, puts all the disclaimers between the lines in a mild way with lots of irony and "i know it all" attitude. Very good marketer and has gift of persuasion, especially to vulnerable desperate traders identifies their "soft spots" and exploits them slowly but surely. Offers no refunds and shows no track record for a good reason. That is worse than 50/50, probably the ones that actually have any success following this guy are just lucky. Claims that only 10% of his clients will succeed because of "psychology".
