My blog is free, and i like to think what i post on my blog is helping people. Mentorship is advertised, and lets be honest, it isn't exactly in your face advertising, and this is the first time i've spoken about in on a public forum. It's only really aimed at people who would like to trade exactly how i do in a live room to see how i actually enter my trades, and it only came about because i get a few emails a week with people asking for mentorship. Not particularly interested in having hundreds of people in my trading room, nor am i bothered about doing webinars etc

If you have the basics down, then i think just reading my blog can help a lot, but that's just my opinion, and i've never suggested people should read my blog over anything else out there. The way i see it, i'm a full time trader, but at the end of the day i'm just another guy out there. My blog is my take on things... take it or leave it, i'm not particularly bothered, but if people are liking it then great, and i'll continue with the blog. One of the reasons why i started the blog was because personally, in my opinion, i think it's hard to actually give out advise to someone on a forum because there's too many people who will just steam and in go 'no you're wrong' or 'this guy isn't real' or 'this guy is talking crap' and the thread is just turned into an argument. With my blog i get to post my take on the market without any of that crap ruining it.

It annoys me that someone might just say 'oh he's just marketing something' or 'he's selling a dream' because i genuinely don't care if you read my blog or not, let alone pay for mentorship etc. If you like what you see then read it, if you don't, then don't read it. Pretty simple really.

Just adding my 2 cents seeing as i was dragged into it.

another thing that i want to add after receiving some pm's off that steve guy who posted earlier.... On these forums that are a small handful of traders that are actually successful traders, DbPhonix, Firewalker, SoulTrader, Atto, myself included to name a few. Amongst them they've had a various levels of success, some have have reached the magic million mark, others are well on there way, but regardless of how much they've made so far, for us this our full time job, our living which we support our families and nutty girlfriends with (maybe i'm the only with a nutty bird) so getting into arguments us telling us we're wrong, we're just trying to sell something etc isn't really gonna help your cause when you're trying to learn, especially seeing as we're trying to help you. We don't have do, it's not like it's our job to help new guys, we do it out of our passion for trading.

Just had to get this off my chest as i think traders lab is a really good resource for new guys and there are some cracking traders here like the ones i named above, so don't go ruining it for yourselves by turning the place into a bitch fest.

Not everybody can show you their trades (or PnL).

-- a registered person is bound by laws and regulations
-- a person with a firm is bound by his employment
-- a professional who is trading OPM


If you can't tell a good thing when you see one, move on. It is probably not good for you.
