In a way scalptrader is right because there are alot of false messiahs in this industry that no one should be fully trusted unless he proves with performance and results. Anyone can claim anything, including me, but without proof, it wouldn't fly unless you do careful DD. A better way to interpret scalptrader's thread is: don't follow blindly, do research for yourself.

Anyway, I personally don't follow anyone after follow so many already from earlier in trading career. But it's healthy to look around but always with a skeptical eye is all. Accept these people are your mentors/guides etc, but remember that it's your own initiative to get into their chat rooms, your own bank account and credit card that you punched in on their site to get education from them. In the end, accept these fact with responsibility is all I'm saying, can't blame anyone else for trying to make a living, a bit dishonest by some but always the responsibility always lie with you. This is trading, accepting responsibility for your own actions is the first step to growing as a trader so accept this step too as your own doing.

Good luck and happy new year! Be nice and play nice please!
