Trading Schools.Org Is A Blog About Trading Products
Trading Schools.Org was founded in 2013 as a review website that provides unbiased and honest reviews about all sorts of investment products. We write about trading educators, newsletter providers, trading software, live trading rooms, brokers, etc.
We dig up the dirt and relentlessly search for the truth.
We have nothing to sell. The entire site runs on income from Google Adsense advertising. We won’t write fake reviews about fraudulent products hoping to make a quick affiliate commission.
We will also give you the inside scoop on the best and brightest trading products available.
About Our Reviews
We are not here to hurt anyone. If we write a negative review, this is because we genuinely feel that the product is poor. And we will gladly rewrite any negative review if the vendor makes positive and reasonable changes that bring value to the consumer.
The trading software and education ecosystem are constantly changing. What was an excellent product last year, and we had written a positive review might now be a poor product. We will fearlessly tear apart and report any poor-performing investment products. What might have been an excellent product in 2010 might now be a substandard investment product or service.
No Fake Reviews
One of the major problems with trading product websites is fake testimonials and fake reviews that are posted on 3rd party sites like TrustPilot.
Read here how review websites scam consumers.
We have some bad news.
The bad news is that 95% of the investment products on the internet are overhyped “snake oil” meant to hustle you out of your hard-earned money.
If you believe that the regulators from the FTC, CFTC, NFA, or SEC care about you and are there to instantly help — then you are sorely mistaken.
The sad and simple truth is that the regulators simply do not have the time or resources to follow every scam on the internet.
We have some good news.
The good news is that there actually are some very good products and services available to the retail investor.
But they are hard to find. How hard?
TradingSchools.Org typically writes one or two positive reviews each year.
You don’t have to be a loser at trading.
Unfortunately, we all start out investing as losers. Nobody starts out winning. We all start as losers, and we typically get worse. Then we start looking for help. We become desperate and want to believe. And then most become trapped in a never-ending cycle of marketing nonsense from an entire industry that specializes in selling us fantasies about trading glory.
The problem is that the cycle repeats until the aspiring investor is fleeced out of all of his available trading money. He purchases a flawed system, or indicator package, or educational package, or trading room, or trading mentor, or whatever the newest zany crazy thing promoters dream up. In the end, the aspiring trader is left with nothing but a busted trading account and an education in alchemy.
But this does not have to be your journey. Yes, you can make money at trading and investing. And once you learn how, you will be amazed at how fast and how easy you can earn a steady income. But it takes time.
Thanks for reading.

hello Emmett Moore i just wanted to invite you again to do a review of the group im in , i know you don’t like the name that the mentor uses but the group is great, i was the 12th person in and there’s like 790 of us now. the group is supportive of each other , the mentor is there to answer questions , there’s no monthly fee just 1 time fee($500). and cheap from what I’ve paid or seen at other programs ($1000,of 1 yr raging bull ) and its simple to learn. with all the scams going on in the “stock guru” sector , it would be nice to get one out there that is on the level or legit i should say. my email is wsfrye6@gmail.com
i know your going to red flag this because of the name but its “twows alerts ” lol , but don’t let the name stop you from a good thing, i can stream it to you for free to check it out.
Emmett, First off thank you for creating this selfless, loving resource! “We dig up the dirt and relentlessly search for the truth”. Not sure if you can help my situation yet love that your mission is to protect the mass of people who are clearly vulnerable! I am devastated on Jan 15 this year, I fell for a Scam losing the most Crypto on record at the click of a button. Over 26 BTC , 1.12M that has crippled me! Do you know of anyone who specializes or have a resource to help me find the criminals? The FBI and local police don’t seem to be able to help (or care) maybe they are just overwhelmed with cases? Sadly, I have learned the hard way scammers are everywhere! I have been in a deep depression, I acted on an internet giveaway where they used Michael Saylor (billionaire) giving away matching Bitcoin and I fell for it in the hope I could hand it over to my church who desperately needs a building, I told myself it was a perfect miracle at the time. This was stratecically live steaming , or so I thought, while half asleep Saturday morning at 5:30 , an exciting podcast , they were pros (got away with over 80 BTC in total). The aftermath, all I can feel is shame and sadness squandering Gods money at the click of s button! It is just sickening! Just asking in the hope you might have a resource or have suggestions?? Thank you 🙏 once again for what you put together here, this is a real gift to protect and serve the majority who sadly just don’t know better! God Bless YOU! 🥰
Despise all of these fake guru and advertisement. Can anyone recommend any decent trading channel on YouTube?
i know an excellent discord group.
Which discord group
the guys name who runs it is Santosh, it cost, a 1 time fee but its been well worth it, ive been thru the ringer with other groups(raging bull). this guys good , momentum and shortin, if your interested i can give you his email, or if you like i can stream(google meet) it to you so you can check it out
Thanks. Yeah how do I get in touch and what does he trade? My email is jnksak@comcast.net. Stream would be cool too
he does momentum stocks, stocks that are moving in the moment no overnight holding, he is very accurate, scalping i will email you his contact. mine is wsfrye6@gmail.com
sent 10:52am pst
i posted something like 5 months ago about finding a good program, its like 4am here and i just got done trading so i will check back in like 8 hrs
I don’t think there are any “decent trading channels on youtube”. Just good for seeing some trading ideas regurgitated from elsewhere by the shammers as long as it’s for free to watch on yt. Then, better to read some old cheap books on tech analysis, and then some particular information about different kinds of markets, Learn to code your own indicators or variations, test it out back and forwards live, and hope you come out with something decent that works for you along the journey which may come luckier and sooner to some than others.
Can you do review of these “ag investments” where you buy crops/farmland? Yields sound great but many similar have been fraudulent– not implying these are. If you know how to vet let me know in reply.
agridevelopments.comhttps://www.plantationsinternational.com
Sure, there have been a few of these ag investments that have popped up recently. I will take a look.
Is this site actually dead or simply on vacation? I’m trying to get a review of Alchemy5Edge.com Does anyone know of another reputable review site? Thanks
Hi Fred,
No, I’m still here. Honestly, I haven’t published anything recently because I just didn’t want to seem tone-deaf when millions of people are being threatened with slaughter in Ukraine. It’s been really painful for me to watch.
Thank you Emmett, I can understand your position.
Kind Regards,
Fred
It seems that this site is dead. Emmett is not writing anymore more reports. Does he focus more on other scams like crypto? Is there a website for that? I mean he announced to create a crypto review website and many times he said he was going to produce a trading course for free. He never did any of that. I get it, people get distracted. Just would love to know what is going on and keep following him.
Any information about Christian DeHaemer? Got an email about Urgency of getting into the spatial computing revolution – but it was at least a year old. Talked about the “new iPhone12” (which was released in October 2020 – I got the iPhone13 last September)
He puts out something called the Bull&Bust Report.
where do we comment when we believe we have found a good trading program
I recently purchased AlgoRder (algorider.com), this site is sponsored by Mark Deaton, could you tell me if he is a scammer and I lost my money. He explains and shows videos on how you could make money by following algos in the stock market. His course sounds reasonable, but just today I read an article that he was a scammer in the past.
Get The Algo Rider Method – Algo Rider
Oh shiz, this is Deaton’s latest scam? Sneaky. He was called out and last we heard here he was promo’ing some campy “black ops” flashlight thingy. I’d seen Deaton’s numerous (scam sites that he ditched and abandoned) over the past decade. If you hadn’t seen already, Emmett’s 2019 review of Deaton (https://www.tradingschools.org/?s=deaton) and also read the comments. What a jacked-up clown.
I started receiving emails from Paul McMann who is the “Chief Operating Director” of http://www.forexsmarttrade.com His claims of daily profits were really impressive. What really caught my attention is that he is so sure of his methods that he will fund your trading account, and only wants a dollar for the first month of his services. Wow! Sounds great huh? I Googled for him and found little more than his series of youtube videos in which he says he started trading about two years ago. That’s really quite an amazing leap to go from nowhere to being a guru who will mentor and fund others.
So I replied to his emails. This is what I sent….

Hi Paul,
There are a lot of unscrupulous scammers in the education industry.
So first let’s get past the most obvious issues involving legitimacy.
Then we can discuss membership subscriptions. etc
Can you provide any proof that you actually trade a live account?
How about a sanitized screen shot of a brokerage statement?
An equity curve?
How many students have you funded, and can you provide similar account proof, not testimonials. What percent of your students actually get funded?
All the best,
John
Oct 4 2021
That’s great Paul! Nice profits!
So please show me the proof that these trades were actually made on a live account. How about a screenshot of these trades exact from a live brokerage account? A brokerage statement? An equity curve? Come on dude. Just the basics. If you aren’t trading with real money then why should should anyone pay you with real money? Do you accept payment in monopoly money?
John
Oct 5 2021
These are some pretty amazing claims Paul!
Too bad you don’t back them up with the slightest bit of proof.
I assume that you don’t back them up with proof because you CAN’T back them up with any proof. Certainly by now you have read my previous emails requesting ANY evidence whatsoever that you are actually trading a live account. Yet you continue to send me worthless spam instead of the courtesy of a reply containing a bit of honesty. You sir appear to be a scammer, a fraud, and con artist. Please consider to make an honest living for a change, Paul. Kindly remember, God is watching you and has a really long memory. It’s not too late for you to turn from your charlatan ways and finally come clean. Your santa claus body looks as if your wretchedness has caught up with you, and soon you will get a visit from the grim reaper. Hopefully before then you will make amends to your deceptive, wicked, machinations to cheat people.
All the best,
Amazingly, the emails I was receiving from Paul McMann have ceased, without ever a reply. I believe he is a con man who boasts many claims that are simply untrue. But in case you would like to take advantage of his truly amazing offers, here is his contact info…

HeyEmmett,
Can you do a review on Madaz Money site and the True Trading Group site? I’m thinking about joining but am very hesitant
Kind Regards,
Harold
Madaz Money and True Trading Group…a better venue for these hucksters would be on their own turf, which of course is Twitter.
Read many of the lovely posts on the GuruLeaks channel: https://twitter.com/Guruleaks1
And for the millionth time, I will neither admit, nor deny that I am GuruLeaks.
I would be interested in Madaz. He shows his monthly statements and refreshes the page off of Centerpoint system to show proof of profits. He plays a more aggressive scalping approach and trades mostly low float stocks which are really stressful.
Dont, I have and its nothing special
LeeLooTrading.com has people on Fiverr pretending to buy trading strategies for their “upcoming day trading combine.” simply to try to get someone to sign up for LeeLoos scam service. I guess TopStep Trading has some competition
Can Sombody please tell me how Myfxbook stats could possibly be manipulated. I will go straight to an example. G7FX has a myfxbook verified entry from ICMarkets showing a performance of a live account. Here is the monthly ROC copy pasted straight out of their site :-
Name Gain Drawdown Pips Type
G7FX 36.50% 3.83% 619.1 Real
G7FX 60.17% 6.49% 942.3 Real
G7FX 56.85% 7.94% 1290.9 Real
G7FX 50.44% 2.89% 1375.9 Real
G7FX 116.82% 4.81% 3272 Real
G7FX 77.14% 2.26% 1673.6 Real
G7FX 38.39% 0.47% 532.2 Real
G7FX 140.57% 11.97% 2328.1 Real
G7FX 81.19% 21.56% 1112.4 Real
G7FX 56.99% 9.42% 919.1 Real
G7FX 51.10% 2.63% 798.8
each line is a monthly gain for the past few months.
I have gone thru the trade listing for a couple of the months and have not seen anything out of the ordinary. You may say that he is running two books and only showing the profitable one for each month but how do you get each even one of the books to be hugely positive? If it’s random luck then each book should be close to 0% gain/loss?
appreciate everyone’s thoughts
here is link to the myfxbook entry and I don’t think this guy has been reviewed by Emmett?
https://www.myfxbook.com/members/VerifiedTrading/g7fx/6413032
Hope you’re not a shill for myfxbook, so why are you posting about it here. Myfxbook is old, has been a contentious discussion among the mt4-fx “community” for longer than a decade. Plenty of forums and discussions past have posted countless posts and threads about how it can be gamed and faked. Just a couple of recent links: (https://stories.thirdbrain.ch/myfxbook-can-be-cheated), ( https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/ten-signs-fake-myfxbook ), (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-UWX5PgVRM) . I only dabbled in forex several years ago, and had since long moved to trading futures. But heck, even back then I’d heard all the complaints about fakery on myfxbook, zulutrade, and discussion on donnaforex and FPA which had reviews of up to maybe a thousand defunct EA’s. The fakery associated with mt4 and signal services/EA’s is like the primordial demo-fakery pre-html5/early-internet web model of the early snakeoil industry, or at least the prior decades generation of retail trading.
All Explained here

is there some place that shows the top reviews in each category or reviews by star rating instead of endlessly scrolling thru all the pages? Thanks
Emmett used to have the list on the side also of “best trading sites reviewed” where it was mostly the “breakeveners” traducators who could show somewhat acceptable proof to tradingschools, and they showed proof that they weren’t outrageously making profits, but at least not losing big or rather doing well enough, “breaking even” on trade results, net. But they are also controversial in the reactions of the review comments and Emmett reported a small or tiny affiliate deal with tradingschools with said sites, but at least it was reported compared to other compromised review sites and forums. Two of the sites are “FollowMe Trades” by Dean Jenkins. Another is “Best Stock Trades” by David Jaffee. (although I don’t agree with ts’ assessment of Jaffee from my own experience with options , he is just gambling big until it blows up big for the clients; there are far better ways to manage risk even with daytrading futures). You can type those names in the tradingschools’ search, and their review pages will show up.
I have been studying trading since I retired in 2017. The truth is you MUST trade with money you can afford to lose. That’s not to say that you will lose. If you take the time to analyze areas of the economy that interests you or that you actually know about and look down the road as far as you can, you can make very wise trades that earn you regular returns and will build your wealth. The best place to learn about everything at an affordable price is investopedia.com. Their training courses are affordable and well presented.
The second place to put a small amount of money each month is in the Seeking Alpha app. The writers that contribute have great insight in the various areas that they are knowledgeable about. a lot of my investment ideas come from the comments section. Many other people are using various strategies and share their ideas and results with you. Trading is not the same as investing. If you are serious about trying to build long-term wealth or provide yourself with steady income it can be done by investing in the proper types of stocks and bonds. Just remember that no matter how old you are history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme. If you go back as far as you can with good information you will see trends that continuously repeat decade after decade.
can you make a list of good trading system that you have reviewed. it is difficult to navigate on your blog. please guide me, thank you.
I know this is a site for trading education reviews. But I have to ask, what is your opinion of Reddit’s WSB driving up the price of GME, causing institutional shorts to puke?
I love it! If a bunch of day traders want to band together to unwind a short…then why not? This is glorious and beautiful capitalism doing what it does best. Which is taking money from the stupid and rewarding the smart.
I couldn’t agree more. I love it as well.
Afuckingmen
Thanks you saved me 3K! I was about to step in at Tradenet. Tnx again.
I’m confused with this “mirror” site https://tradingschools.club which is designed the same and cites the author with conflicting information. I simply don’t know who to believe so I’ve chosen to believe neither. I’m a newbie and stocks and frankly, the most important thing I’ve learned is no industry had more liars, scammers and downright scum than the stock market. It appears Wall Street moved to Main Street all over the world. It’s really depressive unable to find anyone decent in this industry outside of the newbies such as myself who just want to learn the trade. I’m done with trading and will start my own little business instead. I suggest the majority of you reading this do the same.
Hey Don,
The .club website is NOT my website. There are a few of these copycat websites that rip my content. Yes, it is annoying for me because sometimes I need to change a rating for a review (for the better or worse) or remove content, which is not fair for anyone.
A lot of people ask me, “why don’t you sue to have those websites taken down?” Well, I could. But that means I have to go through the time, expense, and hassle of taking over the domain and going to court, etc. It’s a big pain in the butt.
If TradingSchools.Org were a full-blown commercial website with profit as the primary motivation, then YES, I would certainly go after these people. However, TradingSchools.Org is really just a “fuck you” website that opines on the bullshit in the “investment education” niche. In short, if you find something useful here, then I did my job. However, the copycat websites are “for-profit” websites where some of the negative reviews regarding various vendors have been rewritten by dubious sources.
Hope this helps, Don.
Thanks Emmett for the clarification. The .club site confused me. But now I understand it’s just an infringer. Probably somebody you exposed in the business. Which frankly, I applaud you for doing so.
Having that said, I agree it’s not really worth suing those asses for defamation or infringement. I’ve been down that road a couple times and trust me, the lawyers are the only winners in the matter…often big winner$. I’ve learned the hard way these attorneys work for the court first and their client second. They are officers of the court and they all collude with each other to drag on the case. This has been my experience in a federal court. They are all in it together including the judge to soak both the plaintiff and the defendant. Even if you win your case you’ll still need to collect which is often more costly than the case itself. During litigation the debtor will have already made arrangements to protect his assets and bank account.
Anyway, I appreciate your site. I’ve learned a lot, and un-learned the BS I thought to be true from investor “gurus” on youtube from the day trader scammers to options, penny stocks, Bitcoin, etc. Your website saved me in a big way.
Speaking of crypto, maybe you can cover some of the traders as well. The pump and dump scams are too obvious and it’s a growing problem in crypto. In fact, Cameron Fous appears to have left the stock market to focus (no pun) intended) on day trading in crypto. I bet he’s raking it in.
Lol! The lawyers always get paid! No more truthful statement than that.
I remember a wise lawyer once told me…”There is no such thing as free speech. There is only your willingness to pay for the privilege.”
Speaking of crypto, I opened this online account for offshore betting a few years ago. Nothing big. I made a bet and requested they pay me with bitcoin. So, I had $50 sitting just sitting there and I forgot about it. I just checked the other day and it’s now worth $200. Yay, now I can lose it betting on my favorite team…the Buffalo Bills.
Go Bills. I hope this is our year. Finally.
It’s not easy to find people on the internet today that do any good for free. It’s just human nature isn’t it?
Hello, where can I find a top of the best trading courses?
Hi Marius,
You want me to direct you to “the best” trading courses? Sorry, I don’t do that here. This website is primarily focused on exposing fraud.
However, I have given positive reviews (usually once per year) so if you dig around, you will find the vendors that I actually like.
So what should you do? You should stay away from “trading educators” as most are just trying to hustle your money from you. What you should do is start by reading Art Collins book, which is for sale on Amazon. Just google Art Collins Trading on Amazon and begin there.
The next step is that you need to invest some sweat equity in learning how to code your own strategies and test things yourself. Try and avoid relying upon others, try and build something unique.
Personally, I use Trade Navigator Platinum edition (no financial affiliation). Get the strategies coded from the Art Collins book and this will be a great starting point. If you need any help with the coding, you can reach me directly at emmett@tradingschools.org
Avoid day trading as over 90% fail. I wrote an article on this recently, again, you can find the article if you keep looking.
By far, the easiest way to make money is to be a position trader with an expected hold time of 6-8 weeks. If you are short of money, then buy single shares of stocks until you can build up your account.
Avoid the scams! Avoid the hustlers! Avoid the “we will give you free money to trade conmen.”
Invest in yourself by educating yourself with quality books and learning how to code. If you want it bad enough, you can have success. But if you want to take a short cut and pay someone thousands of dollars for a “best trading course” then I am afraid you will be very disappointed as nearly all of these characters dont even trade.
Omg, this is probably the most useful comment I found in the whole internet since years for “how to learn trading, where to start etc.” Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Agree, this is one of the best summary comments by Emmett on learning to trade. I will just add that it’s still possible to daytrade , not just swing or position , but risk and size management is paramount and must be practiced daily. This site helped my trading improve indirectly by confirming for me that they are all shamshows and scams and my long held suspicions of their shamshow tricks over the years was confirmed. My last duping was by Ross Scameron, where I saw in the chatroom someone blurted out about Emmett and tradingschools and Ross replied he was “just a felon”. So I finally discovered tradingschools, (back when Ross still had that stupid pic of skydivers holding hands, and words saying he was an “architect” and eventually had it removed from archive.org by paying them off, like they did with bribing ripoffreport too.) and realized I had to test and make my own trading by myself and no shamshow guru was going to help, only sell their regurgitated crap and most all of them don’t even trade live or pretend to in their shamshow rooms among shills and hired actors like “Crystal” who are always “learning” year by scammy ad year.
Which ones are the best out there? How can I find them easily on your site?
Just an FYI. Maybe Clay will prove to his followers he practices what he teaches? I hope so. 🙂
Hm… don’t think my image attachment worked.
Why are all the comments blocked out ? Aren’t these supposed to be public comments?
Hey Al,
Are you using a mobile phone? I have gotten a few complaints lately that mobile devices are not showing comments.
Thanks for reaching out, else I wouldn’t know there is a problem.
I am using desktop/laptop PCs , with Chrome and Firefox, and I cannot see any comments below your reviews. Am I the only one?
Hello,
I’m confused what happened to the Buy side global review? Did you change your mind about them?
Thanks,
Kristi
Hello, I’m confused what happened to the Buy Side Global review? Did you change your mind about them?
Thanks,
Kristi
Thank you for providing this website and honest information. I accidentally ran across it because I was contemplating The Authentic Trader since it sounded so real and also honest, lol. I typically research everything, whether it be products or companies, so that brought me to you, and your honest review of this scam artist. Sure wish it could be broadcast on the news because I KNOW there are many putting out that $297 “reasonable” amount to succeed. Such a shame.
Thankfully I read your review and of course closed the tab for this sham on my computer. I am going to start doing a lot of reading, here, so I can learn. Maybe I can succeed with trading down the road.
Your time and dedication is much appreciated!
Thank you for this site. I bought a package from TechniTrader back in 2014. Wondering if anyone else has used them and what you’re experience is? I am re-watching the video course now and find it helpful. She doesn’t offer snake oil but teaches people to trade.
Appriciate this site
Thank you!
Emmett,
This one should be easy! Steven Brooks, supposedly an ex baseball player, has a course he sells. But he gives a couple of his plays for free in his webinar, one being buy the S&P at the close on Monday and sell at the close on Tuesday, he says that one day is the most profitable day of the week going back to 2000, and Friday being the worst, so technically one could short on Thurs/Friday. Can you check out if that one thing is true?
at 18:26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOrvmE0kUbM
how do I find the good reviews?
That’s what I want to know. Surely there is a solid teacher out there who is willing to exchange money for a legit program?
Try marketpugilists.com
Is there a review on Breaking Chart Alerts – http://breakingchartalerts.com. You may want to check out – too many concerns on how they operate.
indeed. it does take time. i now think of success-full stock-trading as a college degree, or a baby going from diapers/crawling to running, or a kid learning to be a gymnast. TAKES TIME. but i guarantee you this, if you are not making money trading, follow these steps and something magical happens: (1)start KEEPING money (not saving, keeping with no plans to ever spend, not to invest, nothing – just keep in an account as MINE-TO-HAVE-FOR-FOREVER – $100 to $200 a week / or a month depending on your income (2)start paying ANY and ALL debt with more focus – don’t have to pay it off – just focus on paying it a bit more [THIS WILL IN FACT REVEAL TO YOU DEBTS THAT ARE JUST USELESS WASTES], and you will begin to cancel the HULUs and all those monthly subs that just take money AND TIME from your life, and surprisingly you will also stop hanging with people and situations that zap your energy (3)TAKE OUT ALL MONEY FROM YOUR BROKERAGE account, and pause any and all trading for three weeks, then put back only a fraction: 12% tops, of the amount you used to trade with, and resume trading with that amount. [if you are a professional day-trader, i.e. your only and every income comes to you as a stock/futures/forex trader then of course you need your $25,000 minimum but keep it tight, and add a buffer of say $2,000 and only trade that $2,000 buffer – then the $25,000 is just there to “allow” you to day-trade]. (4)take out SAME-DAY any and all profit you make that day – transfer 1/4 to your MINE-TO-HAVE-FOR-FOREVER account, transfer 1/4 to your ‘oh!-taxes-better-get-paid’ account, transfer 1/4 to your ‘i’m-living-off-of-this’ account, and then keep 1/4 right there in the trading account. — Do this for six months: the (1)Hoarding cash, (2)Paying debt with more focus, (3)Reducing trading account size and position sizes, and (4)Transferring out 3/4 of any and all profit same-day – and you will un-wrap your trading genius in no uncertain terms. YOU WILL SEE THE MARKET IN SUCH CLARITY you will be baffled! — and you will trade with the ease of a maestro. Why is this? – Step (1). When you start HOARDING money for yourself, the effect on your psychology is your value-of-self grows! – your SELF-WORTH increases with leaps and bounds, such that the “oh-i-gotta-get-in-this-trade-now” impulses start to fly off your persona; and you start being calm in a way you never before could access. KEEPING MONEY FOR YOURSELF, SHOWS YOU!!! that you value yourself, and you value money. When you demonstrate this to be fact by hoarding $100 here, $10 there, week-in, week-out, and you suddenly start to see YOU ALREADY HAVE MONEY!! you become a ‘spectator’ of the markets, and trade as one – instead of being too much in the game, trading in frantic ways that you end up losing your head, you start to “not care” if you win or lose, because you already have money that you are STORING for yourself; so you ‘play’ with more ‘flow’ – and as you ‘play with flow’ you win, win, win.
After you do this [steps (1) through (4)] for 6 months, you could return to trading your bigger-size account [the money must come from job income or somewhere, however – but FOREVER money in step (1) is to be continuously added to and kept. When you are 90 or so years old, you will know best what, if anything, to do with the amassed sum of cash.]
Hi Emmett, any chance you could do a review of https://cycletraderpro.com/.
Thanks,
Tom …
Why have him do a review? This is an easy answer. If you are on this site and you are asking for this DON’T Trade. You are just looking for an excuse not to. You know the answer is going to be negative.
A little niave to just assume that since everyone here is looking for a better edge to trade and spend thousands learning to do so. Since all reviews aren’t negative from Emmett makes me wonder why you are on here. Worried about the honesty? I’ve been trading for many years, never easy though. Avoiding a mistake is at the heart of all of this. Pointless comment.
I REALLY appreciate and respect your personal testimonial. You are now making a positive impact with your life. Well done, sir. I’m retired military and wonder if there is a site or company you could recommend where honest trading instructors, instructions or trading platforms can be obtained? If these are on your site, somehow I missed them. Thank you.
I would like him to check out TechniTrader. Martha Stokes has a series of video products. I purchased the basic course and the position trade course and proceeded to tank and not heed her advice on first paper trading. Since lockdown, I’m finding all my other streams of income frozen and revisiting her videos. Since ’14, my modest portfolio is up around 100%, even counting a few positions that are now 99% losses. I am now looking at turning my retirement account into an income stream. I think she’s a good one. They still try to sell me everything, but they never make recommendations. They teach people to sell. I’m not sure if they’ve updated the videos, which now seem a bit more old-fashioned than they did even when they were fairly new. But the info is solid. She has a monthly subscription with morning updates that I’ve subscribed to once or twice, but was unable to keep up with. I may do it again since she gives access to special market scans etc. Good luck.
Good work guys, I’m fascinated.I have the obvious question, do you name the best sites for trading recomendations information and advice.
Same question, the website seems to list every school to avoid, so where do we go from here?
How do we know your not a scam.Do you ask for money for something.Not being a jerk just wondering.
Alan….Emmett is one of the good guys and places a great deal of personal time and energy into helping others. We need more like him.
Jay Ratliff
So what are he best sites?
Can you please post the good trading reviews?? Is it possible to have separate tabs on your website for good trading reviews and bad trading reviews, and the outright fake and scams??
Thank you!
So who and what are the good trading mentors and systems? I am searching… quite glad I found your site, but still looking!
So glad that someone is helping to separate the wheat from the chaff. So alright, already who is the WHEAT? Who is honest, reputable, and can help me make an income.
Great work folks, I must admit I am lucky that I came across this site. I am 34 years old guy doing 9-5 and not enjoying it that much anymore. Hence looking for other avenues/careers that are exciting as well as rewarding. I am very interested in taking up a career as a trader of FOREX and STOCKS but I do not have prior knowledge and experience. I get bombarded with loads of Ads regarding these fast track getting rich trading education programs, but when I start researching for reviews(how I came across this site) most of these programs are bogus and are rip-offs. Hence please direct me towards the programs that are legitimate (it doesn’t matter if it’s paid as I am ok to invest in educating myself). Thanks in Advance and please keep up the good work.
I have to say what you said is correct, I am one of those who has tried these products with no results.
I still think that one can make money at trading following and learn from honest and noble people who actually doing it and willing to share their knowledge, but I haven’t been lucky to find one. Let me know if you have discovered one that works.
Reading your reviews is a great pleasure , thanks for being honest and highly professional . I wonder if you do research about cryptocurrencies investment companies or not .
Thanks with best regards and wishes
Emmett, this website is the best thing to happen to stocks since the DOW Jones Industrial Average! Thank you for all your service, you are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Have you ever reviewed the online trading academy ?
Actually, I have been wanting to do one on Online Trading Academy for quite some time. Here is the challenge…each location is a separate franchise, and so you have to evaluate at the franchise level. Regardless, thanks for bringing it up. I will put it on my list.
Hi Emmett,
Although I went there and enjoyed it, and probably would give a positive review, I would’ve loved to have seen an unprejudiced review. My decision to go might have been different or at the least I would not have buyer’s remorse.
Thanks for this amazing public service.
Bruce
Hi Bruce
I went on their 3 day course and have just signed up to their core strategy course, but it is gravely over priced compared to other schooks iv seen online, just curious if you to signed upand you done the core strategy course? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Elizabeth aka a young lady looking for a london based trading school
I’m a 81 yr. old newbie. I need to get myself educated by the GOOD people! Please point me in the right direction. I have been reading you for only a short time.
Thank you
Hey Frank! Look up Sami Abusaad on YouTube. He is the Director of Education at T3 Trading. He has phenomenal free lessons on YouTube. Absolutely some of the best education I’ve had. He’s the real deal — no BS whatsoever. He even displays his P&L for everyone to see, including both wins and losses. Another legitimate source is TradeSmart University. I took classes from them for about 2 years and it was life changing. They teach a lot of the same things as Sami Abusaad. You can do it!! Trading is mostly psychological. Please take the time to learn exactly what Sami teaches correctly. It will save you years of agonizing frustration! Stick with it, it is absolutely achievable.
books. edwin lefevre – Reminiscences of a stock operator. Stan Weinstien’s secret for profiting in bull and bear markets.
I tried Weinstein’s book when someone else shilled it on elite years ago. Then someone shills Weinstein’s book again periodically. Not helpful. Just a regurgitation of the supposed stages of a stock with a 50 hma. Then the rest of the book was filler and after the fact examples. I would suggest Frank, to check out the /r/daytrading subreddit. Occasionally there is good pertinent advice by members who are actually trading live and book recommendations there.
Hi Frank!
I’m glad you posted & Nathan replied bc I’m 55 and new. Been struggling after the COVID19 recession and me novel trades tanked 30%. So, I figure I ought learn more!
Best,
Parrish
is there a review on .opportunistictrader.com?
Your review of tackle trading is completely false and inaccurate. I’ve been a member for over a year and through the classes and webinars the team of coaches there offer, I’ve almost completely replaced my income, well on my way to completely ditching a 9-5 job. It’s a very well spent $97 per month for everything they offer: more than 4-5 webinars a day, tons of classes to take at your own pace, a clubhouse where someone can answer your question any time of day, etc. Through their help, I’ve used my trading income to pay over 90% of my monthly bills at this point.
Hi Emmett! What is your opinion of TradeSight? I would love to hear your take, I can’t seem to find many reviews of their mentorship program online. Thank you!
Good Day,
So what trading product are good?
Emmett, I got suckered into SOT, I see that you did a review of them a few years ago. Wondering if you have any insight on their BS these days. I would love it if you could contact me about it. I havent said anything to them yet but I do not believe he is trading live the way he claims. He loses every trade he takes and his motto is ” Earn whil you learn”. Well I have not earned a damn thing and this clown has the worst startegy I have tried.
Yep, School Of Trade is a scam. Not sure you read my article on them?
School of Trade
And the killer…School of Traded BUSTED
The services that I consider “worthy” are:
– Mark Minervini (Minervini Private Access)
– Dan Zanger (chartpattern.com)
– HCPG (highchartpatterns.com)
– Deron Wagner (Morpheus Trading Group)
That’s pretty much it. However, your site doesn’t review any of these. Why?
“The good news is that there are some genuine trading products on the market that so good that we quite simply cannot believe that anyone would sell the goose that is laying the golden eggs. Some trading vendors should not be selling an indicator package or a trading system, they would be working at the Fed or managing billions of dollars. Yes, we have found some vendors that are that good and more importantly, very honest.”
Please tell us who the good ones are – the incessant “instant wealth” line is a turn off
I’m so confused. If trading is profitable, and some of these “experts” know how to trade correctly, why do they fake trade or not trade at all? Is it more profitable to just sell subs? If they took all the time to learn to trade why whould they not do it? sorry i really am confused. thanks
Love the work you are doing and wanted to bring to your attention possible plagiarism of your work. Your review of tradeempowered linked below:
https://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/trade-empowered/
has been copied word for word on this site:
https://www.valforex.com/2017/08/trade-empowered-review-scam-in-the-name-of-a-trading-school.html
Is there a site (yours?) that focuses on which sites actually are honest and can make you money. Its’s great to know of the scam artists out there but what I think is more valuable is to find sites that are real, honest and can make people money.
Hi Emmet,
I appreciate your honest reviews of Trading Rooms. You did a review of: Night Scalper/Traders Den 24. I cannot seem to find those websites, as I like emini globex trading. It this man, Bill C. still in business, do you know? Thanks…Bob Baker
Bill Costarides from what I understand has retired & sold the business to another entity.
Emmet. That request I just left you has a free month trading. If you review it or tell all of your people on here about it it’s free to try for a month and see how good this guy is at his art.
Dear Emmett,
I think you provide a unique and very valuable servers to the trading community. You are the one and only stop between all the hucksters and individual traders in the world. I would like to make a suggestions on how you might make this a long standing, self sustaining business that could grow and clean up the trading education industry. Use as a model the same practices as a certified accounting audits that are required every year from every publicly traded company. These audits must be done at least once a year and cost deep into 6 figures. You could issue an audit badge to each company showing that they have met some basic standard.
The one issue when having the audited company paying for the audit is that it makes it hard to critique the company you are auditing publicly and that is paying for the audit. The accounting industry has crafted the tightly worded audit letter. You could instead have various degrees of audit certification. For example, the audit could rang from “the company is registered with local government, they have a phone that is answered, e-mail and a real web and mail address” to “There recommendations can be verified by a third party brokerage and the notices are verified with no significant slippage or unreported or delete trades”.nnEach ;certificate type would get a slightly different audit bade, that the company cou. display *for that year).
In addition, since this training supposedly generates money, you could have a trading account seeded with either their money or your money for a given period of time (a month) where any profits would offset the audit costs.
Your service would have to start slow and build confidence in the trading world, and if it did, I could see your audit badges taking on the value of audit badges in other industries and maybe become required to keep the SEC at bay.
The annual audits could confirm:
Trading education entity does exist, for x years, and responses to inquiries,
The company does have third party trading accounts that confirm to advertised results.
The company has an independent verification during the audit period of all notifications and the given results.
The company tracks properly all cancels and refunded accounts for accuracy.
The return generated by the education match the results advertised and claimed.
Anyway, best of luck with this endeavor, and I hope you can successfully grow it into a world respected auditing arm of this industry.
Also a quick intro my name is Benjamin andi am retired from the US ARMY SPECIAL FORCES I am 100% disabled from a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and have severe PTSD. The only reason i detail my injuries is that they have left a prisoner in my own home when I had one. Long story short I am a homeless veteran. But I have a secret while everyone thought i was out of it staring at walls never leaving me home i spent that time refining my passion FOREX. I am an algorithmic trader with an AAA personality. I write all my own code. I eat drink sleep laugh cry and shit code. I speak seven languages. and my best online buddies are Croatian Bulgarian Thai and Russian. anyway Hello. and besides Vinnie, i have a professional prop trader buddy he is honest and real his name is Brian he goes by VP over at https://nononsenseforex.com/. so have a GREAT DAY & TRADE ON.
https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.eugene.gee message me at FB if you like and i I will donate one of my trading algo-bots to bless your game.
None of this is true. None, whatsoever. Your name is Vinny, and you are pushing your “trading bots”, spamming this site. Period. “Thou shall not lie nor deveive.” Not good, not good to lie like that for such a religious man, Vinny.
I don’t quite get this.
You write “Yes, you can make money at trading. And once you learn how, you will be amazed at how fast and how easy you can earn a fantastic income.”
Why wouldn’t you rather give your time to making that fantastic income than keep on spending time and resources on writing this blog which makes money only from Google Adsense advertising? Google Adsense doesn’t pay much nowadays.
P.S.
You gotta do some work on proofreading. Not many errors but still …
Hi Walter,
Thanks for the useful comment and question.
Yes, you can actually make good money at trading. I use a systematic approach and trade stocks 1-3 weeks in length. This is probably the easiest way to make consistent money.
And why keep up this blog? I write the blog because it’s cathartic and I feel good about what I am doing. The income is minimal.
And about the proofreading…I totally agree. Many of my older pages are from years ago — full of errors and poorly written. I should definitely clean up and edit stuff from 2015, etc. Hopefully, my more recent articles are easier to read and more enjoyable.
Emmett
Have come across your blog while searching for the information about Petra Hess. Since I’ve recently opened a dispute with Master Card, requesting a refund for my subscription to PetraPicks.com, I want to thank you for the INVALUABLE story about Petra Hess, which you’ve posted quite recently on your blog. Your post has perfect timing in terms of what I need at this time. My claim against PetraPicks.com is based on FALSE / MISLEADING advertising and it seems to be absolutely solid.
Have just finished writing up my case presentation for Master Card dispute department. It is written as if I were presenting the case to a judge. Quite long and supported by a variety of screenshots taken from PetraPicks.com site and her marketing webinar.
Would be willing to make this material available to you after the dispute has been brought to its conclusion. Please let me know if you are interested to receive it.
P.S.
In order to keep whatever I present on the Internet as free from the typos as it is possible for me at this time I use a great editing tool named GRAMMARLY. Its basic service is free and I find it sufficient for my proofreading purposes.
Hope to hear from you again.

Trade for Greatness.
My review
Garbage. Was there in Feb 2019 for a one week trial. I think the one week was $90 something. When I was there ( she trades CL, GC and NG all of a 1 min chart) she lost $600-800 a day and was positive one day. She fudged the loss for the week saying it was only $660 or something like that. Sometimes she was up in her calls but would not sell. She is on SIM. Her claim to greatness was her CL calls, but CL was in a downtrend on the daily and that helped her.
She trades the one minute chart like she is trading a 10-15 minute chart.
Anyone trading SIM is garbage. Because when you have real money on the line…its way different. Don’t waste your time here. Last week or Last month ( I think it was last month) she only made $50.00 ( for the whole month). It should still be there on the website unless she took it off.
Couldn’t help myself. SBGC.

Father luck.
And a final note. Tradergod had no flashy website. His trade call was usually after 15-30 mins of the open, but 15 mins before the price would get there. He did not videos, no fancy page…a trading fellow I met on a Paltalk room in fall of 2006,- I was in 2 or 3 some times the same time in – told me about this fellow he found in the Yahoo groups ( this back in 2006). Vikram was my trading buddy and he said this tradergod fellow was a fly in the wall in the Yahoo groups. But Vik found him. He had him from June 2006 till September ( Tradergod went to get married) and came back early December and then left prior Christmas). Vik made good money from him…but Vikram had 3 or 4 callers at the same time…and this imho was not good. He used the ” spread your risk around approach” which does not make any money at the EOD.
So, if you do begin you quest to day trade..remember “Nobody knows What YOU think they DO.” The adage, why teach if you could make some real money is very true.
A tip I’ll give you in this- Be it ES, RTY, YM, NQ. They know where they going the next day. Why you think they have the 15 minute close, then open, then close. See which game plan from the playbook they going to use. Their are only 7 plays ( Chakras ) they have.
“As above so below, as below so above.”
Best
There are no rooms that are any good. Nobody has a brokerage statement….If you could make $1,000 a day you don’t need a chat room, nor sell any education.
In day trading you can make $1,000 a day. I do it on RTY with 3 contracts. More than $1,000. But I’m inconsistent and impatient and it costs me. I’m profitable, very profitable, but I lose too. Right now I’m at 40% winning and 60 percent losing. The hardest part of daytrading is to take your stop out. If you don’t you blow your account averaging down or up. ES, is good and bad for me. I try to trade both RTY and ES after the initial move from 9:30 est to 10:00-10:30 est.
My day trading focus is going to be on RTY. Just need to master one index. Hard to master two. I only use price, no volume or vwap, or POC, Volume Profile, Market structure etc. This is all used to screw you. Fibs does help, but which Fib will they reverse 1.236, 1.27 or 1.618??
Now the story below: Next two posts.
Whoa!! I started day trading in 2005 till 2010-11. I went to all the chat rooms on Paltalk, Yahoo groups, 500 guru, on and on, cci, woodie, kwikpop…the list was over a hundred easy. One of the worst was Ace trades, along with Greg….what’s his name. So I blew 5 accounts and lost a lot. Kingfish ( he dead long time ago) did have some nice strategy for 10 pt trades on ES. The key here was a 1 pt stop. Today May 3 2019 ON ES you get stopped out. So I’m back again do day trading and all I’m looking for is a consistent person who knows the high range and low range. Pivot trading may be good, but you cannot use it as a stop out when the price is 7 pts away from the stop and the target is 5 pts away. These calls are never made when the price is close to the pivot..because the person doesn’t know which way it will go. I trade the RTY as my major and ES sometimes. I run 1 or 2 on RTY and 1 on ES. Day trading is income replacement…..not freedoom like postion trading. Finally, I did take calls from a daytrader in 2006 and he made in 9 months starting with $10,000 and 2 contracts. He would give 1 call a day short or long with a 2.5 pt stop and a target and he would let it run. When his account was at $200,000 he was trading 40 and 50 contracts….He was the best, $64.00 a week, no scalping. Don’t know how he did it and he would not teach.Had him only for 1 month..the guy was amazing. Once he got stopped out, he would wait 45 minutes before he took another trade…and sometimes he did not. His website was Tradergod. He left December 2006 after getting married to trade for a small pension fund…or so I was told. He was the best I’v ever seen and the ONLY great trader.
Wish I could find another daytader like this. Impossible….One more thing, nobody is going to give you a brokerage statement because if they could be making $1,000 a day, you don’t need anyone.
Money managers are they same. They lose OPM. If they knew to make money, they would have done it with their own money…..and be on the beach……
Moral is “NObody knows what you think they do,”
Gentlemen, Especially you al, I happen to know a guy named Vinnie. he is the one and only trade room out there that is all that and a bag of nacho’s.

Tradegod mad 2,500% return in 9 months form January 2006 to September 2006 starting with $10,000 and 2 contracts. He left Decemeber 2006. Never to be heard of again. Best daytrader. NO scalping. 1 trade and sometimes 2 trades a day. 2.5 pt stop. stopped out 45 minute break and then maybe another trade. Some days he made zero…but on those trend days….he made a killing.
Hi, I have read through lots of your reviews on several occasions. I would be interested in a live trade room, that REALLY trades, is straight forward and honest. Unfortunately I have not found any on your site yet that you do recommend or give a positive review. Do you have any positive reviews of live rooms? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Dan
I have a trader service I would like you to review. Please give me a call. We have been in operation now for 6 months. Our service is completely transparent. And it has had excellent performance as reported through anonymous survey of our customers. Our system sends conditional setups for equities, forex, and futures via email to clients. *0% win rate, >60% hit or exceed target, > 25% return on capital used. These are conservative numbers. The system uses pattern recognition, and only trades assets with at least 20 years of history.
Thanks,

There isn’t any contact information on your website. No email address. Do you give daily signals for intraday trading on the futures market for RTY ( Russell 2000) and ES ( S&P 500)??
I and thank you for all you do ! My only complaint is that when the tide turns on some people you have rated as 5 stars and the people who comment rebuke it totally and even you change your stance , you still leave the rating up….What`s up with that ?
And again in the world of charlatans my hats off to you for protecting people such as myself who want to believe the best in people but continually see it aint so !
Would be really awesome if you would review the bigger names such as Elliot wave trader and Arora report.
Do not get jaded by fallen man …there are still a lot of GOOD people out there, problem is your hanging out on skid row
God bless !
Hi Emmett, Not sure if this is intentional , your site is missing recently posted comments section that used to appear at the bottom of every page. Tip: Providing highlights/content that is new & brief may help in attracting more visitors.
Hi Philip,
Hmm, that’s not good. Can you post a link to the page that is not allowing comments to be posted? That would help me isolate the problem.
Thanks for reaching out.
Emmett
Please re-read my post above. I did not say it is not allowing comments to be posted. The “recent posts” section that used to appear above “Best trading systems “ is missing.
Thanks
Oh, yes. Now I know.
Actually, I was tinkering with some test pages and a new review system for 3rd parties. The test pages kept appearing in the “recent posts” section.
I need to get that backup. Thanks. -E
need to talk to you about a website review
please call 310-750-5892
This is a new fraud that’s coming up, typical flashy marketing. Showing off cars owned by his parent’s dealership and their house that he claims he bought, all by 22!
How have you confirmed his fraudulence?
REAL REVIEWS or EXTORSION ?
Since
– we can’t get any legal information regarding this website,
– we don’t know where you are located,
– the link to ask for a review in https://www.tradingschools.org/add-listing/ doesn’t work
I think you make a miscelaneous of true review and fake ones and make money by extorsion upon scammers (ok) and even good services (if any).
Hope you get me wrong…
Hi Emmet,
I came across your site while searching for a forex broker. I made many mistakes and bought many shiny objects to learn forex, a process that is ongoing. I have always wanted to look alt other markets but did not have time. I do now and reading your site over the last few days has encouraged my move to diversify into futures. I do not want to repeat my forex mistakes. Would you kindly advise a good method or game plan of getting up to speed with Emini futures ?
Thank you.
My friends are talking about this guys videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIT4HTFYGGo
Would love to have any feedback from you
A simple thanks for all you are doing to help us who are trying to learn and change our lives for the good that DOES exist in trading if we can only find the right mentors.
“Right Mentor” as far as what these day trading vendors teach does not exist. If someone discovers an edge and is making money day trading the second they shared it everything changes. The supply / demand and thus the bid /ask will change. In other words the second a working system is shared and others implement it, it no longer works. And is basic math.
This is why all the vendors are failed traders, or worst folks who never traded, who are now selling the How to Become Rich Day Trading Dream.
It is called a dream for a reason.
Did the warrior trading course, before looking at this website of course, It is not 100% fraud, maybe more like 65%, anyway it is completely boring trying to day trade penny stocks and lose a lot of money.
I am more interesting in learning options and Futures, Do you have some good course to recommend me about?
This is a 100% honest comment. Im just an average guy who came from nothing to become a consistent trader. I learned everything from the bulls on wallstreet team. Everything. Here you have given them a 1 star and posted false information. Before giving such disho est reviews I encourage you (Emmit) to take the bootcamp first because by writing the false review you have contradicted what you have spoken in this segment. It really does bother me to see this because you are misleading a bunch of people who could benefit from using this service. Instead I see people with no knowledge of the BOWS team hating and agreeing with false info. Really very disheartening and you should honeslty be ashamed of yourselves. Do more research on this team, there are plenty of us who took the course and put in the effort and are now seeing good results. Shame on you
Did you read the review Boy Plunger? Emmett did do research and reached the conclusion that he did based on the evidence that he had or the lack of evidence that BOWs would provide. His review has more credibility than your claim but I’d love to see proof of your trading history to support your claim.
Any info on “DTI Trader”?
You might have just saved my life. My husband wanted to buy into DayTradeourmoney.com. Something didn’t feel right to me. We are just ordinary people looking to supplement our income and growing expenses and my husband is ready to jump in and finance a program that we cannot afford. The company makes you feel that you will be able to pay off the cost of the program in no time with earnings from the system I read the information you provided and immediately said halt. If you can provide anything else so I can convince him that this company is a scam, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello Mr Moore,
I think you are a fraud yourself. You didn’t approve any of my comments about one review you made. I wrote my honest comment about how you wasted my time because you didn’t give an unbiased review about this specific trader’s system. If you are a failed trader and receives income by giving educators a horrible one star review, then may God bless your soul, because it’s going to be very hot in hell.
Dear Mr. Moore,
a couple of months ago I started to trade on Zulu trade, it’s a Social Trading Platform. I’m sure you heard about it. It’s running well and I’m satisfied, but you know the saying “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and you feed him for life”. Since I’m a beginner in this Segment I’m seeking for guidance so that I can “fish” for my self. Would you be so kind as to tell me how to proceed?
Best regards
Mircea Sabau
Good question I reccomend starting with the reviews here.That will at least ground you to the tough reality of trading.
Cheers!
Do you plan a review of propshop Savius LLC, please?
Thank you.
Hi Sonia,
Regarding Savius…can you please make a request to review Savius at Trader.Help?
Trader.Help is a new site that I set up to field review requests, as well as provide a forum where readers can ask a range of different questions.
Thanks,
Emmett
Hello , ive been reading some of your reviews and should have done it sooner . i am currently a pro member of warrior trading that has not been working , a ctu member of claytrader . but can you do a review of barak meir tradenet. or send me your opinion …
please do a review about: biloselhi.com
I am in the “lose $200k” category. 8 years of finding ways that don’t work. Mantra: Win – Or die trying. My reasons for persisting are of doubtful value to articulate here but they are powerful – I tell myself that they must be to have kept me on purpose (full time I might add). I don’t want a Ferrari (I actually would buy a mid-eighties, pre-catalytic converter Porsche 911). Suffice to say that what I do with the leverage will make a difference on the planet. I’ve tried a few “systems” and “gurus” to no avail. So, last year, after 100’s of hours of back-testing, I designed my own system and launched it in late 2016. Following it strictly, it has to date averaged only 10% of the average monthly results of the previous umpteen years of back tests. The Win/Loss ratio is 42% – down from 58% in the back tests. ????? Can’t for the life of me work that out and, yes I’ve considered the obvious answers that all point to me. The best “non-me” answer I can come up with after comparing the last 7 months with the previous 7 years is that the game has changed – perhaps temporarily – to invalidate my method. Still, it has made some money but it is way too slow for my mighty purpose and it is exposed to significant losses that can easily take out the gains and more. Needless to say this is affecting my resolve. Whilst that resolve is still strong I clearly need something.
I hope you’re still reading this!! I guess I’m crying out to someone/anyone for help -and for the first time in all these years. I’ve never shared this with anyone – ever. Strange I’m doing it in cyberspace but I suspect it’s because I have never known of a body such as what yours claims to be: Calling out the con artists and identifying the ones that work – and finding a way to still make this public service viable (at least I hope it is). I agree with your statement questioning the bona fides of anyone sharing/selling a winning method but you say they exist. My question is: Who are these 5%? My request is: tell me who they are. Please…..
Charles. Melbourne, Australia.
You are the 5%. You just don’t know it yet.
Kevin Davey is part of the 5%, and so is Dean Jenkins, and many others.
With regards to your backtested strategy. You are clearly on the correct path. But what you now need are a “stable” of strategies. Some will work some of the time, some with work other times, but all must contain at least a small edge. Like a casino, you need to own lots of slot machines that silently wait for players to arrive and bet against your suite of algos. Will be publishing a series of articles on strategy development, you might find them useful.
Stop buying stuff.
Yeah the reality isn’t sexy that’s why the fantasy sells itself.
“Following it strictly, it has to date averaged only 10% of the average monthly results of the previous umpteen years of back tests. The Win/Loss ratio is 42% – down from 58% in the back tests. ????? Can’t for the life of me work that out and, yes I’ve considered the obvious answers that all point to me. ”
Certainly yourself is a factor, but I will give you another answer. No Back-testing or Sim trading can accurately simulate real life with real life bid ask spread and real world stop losses and etc.
Also you fail to state what your Return on Investment is. You have to realize the complete BS the TR promise is just that BS. If a hedge fund manager does a 25% return in a year he is doing cartwheels. The performance of hedge funds, CTAs, and mutal funds and etc are public. Until you realize what “Good” returns are you will probably be disappointed. So my Question is what return are you achieving and what return are your expecting. If you are trading a $5 account and expect to be making $1000 a day, you are in teh fantasy world and my advice is WAKE UP!!
Welcome to tradingschools. You’ve never known of it before, because ts is a first time wonder of the corrupt retailer “ecducational” cesspool industry after literally of decades of shilling and misleading media efforts and compromised forums, to say otherwise about the trading dream. While I’d agree with Emmett that maybe 5% probably far less are breakeveners, they are mostly breakeveners(-). There was a university study within this decade which found most brokers reported 98% of retailer accounts ended up losing in the “career lifetime” of the accounts. Like RobB mentioned, completely opposite of what the snakeoiler shamsters want newbs and those unawakened and churning, would lead to believe through their army of shill’monials, myriad of SIMdog bucks tricks, fake broker, tax, or server shamshow documents, dream spreadsheets and backtest graphs, etc. and on and on. Maybe .0001% have found the “dream” but they sure as heck would not sell sim-crap to strangers or the public for a monthly churn of fees or hotdog 7k “packages”. The edge is so fine in trading, it’s razon thin, and the chances of sustaining over a period to make a living much less a profitable fortune of years is like lottery chances something the scammers will never admit, but they all know as they continue to make a “living” since they have stopped trying to trade live always losing after successfully procuring a monthly churn income from dupes and newbs.
Hey just found your page! Great work you are doing here 🙂
can you do a review or give me you thoughts on “Jason Stapleton – Trade Empowered” website. Thank you!
Emmett, also please note that when people click on the link at the top of the Stock Whisperer page that say’s : “159 Comments”, the link takes them to page 2 also rather than page 1 which first should appear. If page 2 shows up first, then there is little review information on that page and it is not clearly obvious that there is a page prior to page 2 with more info. Most people would not notice that. Thanks again
Hi Emmett,
Thanks for allowing people to express their opinions regarding these important issues. Please be advised that when people do a Google search for “Stock Whisperer review” and click the link on Google to view the review page on the Stock Whisperer, the link erroneously takes people to the following page:
https://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/stock-whisperer/#comments
The above link is the second page of the reviews which only shows 2 reviews and people don’t realize that there is a more important page with more content previous to page 2 which they should see first. Therefore, they are not getting a full picture as to the full content of the reviews.
When people click the Google link, it should first take them to the following link (page 1) which shows the full content.
https://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/stock-whisperer/comment-page-1/#comments
Please do the viewers a service and correct this issue.
Thanks, and keep up the good work. Bob
can you please review http://basecamptrading.com/ and https://livetraders.com/
Hi again Emmett!
I just wanted to add that I thought very highly of incometrader tho, they are quite expensive. Love there website page as well. Just me personally, I didn’t want to come off as though I was bashing them. I have respect for Tracey and Mike and want to believe in them…
Is there any teaching program out there that know of that genuinely cares enough about teaching students and is good at it that you would actually recommend?You seem very knowledgeable in this fouls and would love to get your input on it.
Oh and one last thing, do
Have you ever heard of income trader with Mike Coval? I’m sure you have, I attended a weekend class/ introduction to his program he offers and was wondering what your thoughts were about them? What made me question their program is that I seen they have had several other business names in the past??
Thanks Matt
Hi Emmet,
Just a note to say thanks for what you do – you helped me stop wasting time on Warrior Trading, and kept me from giving my money to him.
However, I am involved with Apiary Fund in Utah, and your idea of them seems to be wrong – they do NOT charge hundreds of dollars per month for connect fees, only $97/month, and there are many people that “grit” their way through the months of training and get funded accounts (training is three months minimum, some people progress more slowly, taking a year or more – some seem to learn enough that they leave and trade on their own). A few seem to display enough talent that they get a funded account without completing the training process called “Beeline”.
After reading about TopStepTrading on your website, Apiary comes off pretty good, in my opinion. Not perfect, but they seem sincere to me. You seem to like TST a lot. I just think that Apiary probably needs more research before you make disparaging remarks. ForexPeaceArmy started out very sceptical of Apiary, but backed off some while they complete their review.
Anyway, Emmet, thank you for your service to the community!
Thanks for the comment. Truth be told, I have not done an in-depth review of Apiary Fund. But I am working on it!
You might have noticed that I take a very skeptical approach to just about all trading products.
If Rob B. is one of your people that review people, then you need to put a muzzle and a harness on that a-hole.
David, muzzles go on the other end.
I had no idea who Rob even was until he commented on my post. Then I researched, found his irreleveant rants sprinkled around this site and elsewhere. Based on where he does and does not post, I certainly now seriously question his motivation$$$.
Rants! Sometime. Irrelevant, never. Rob B is exactly the type of contributor this blog needs to keep the shills and their BS in check.
Either DrNo is pete because he only cares to post about me or b__ks under yet another moniker since ‘toto’ got outed, or he’s a tradingfraternity shill new to ts if really hadn’t heard about RobB or this site until last week.
Seems like the only people who dislike Rob B are either shills or snake oil trading room salesmen. Which one are you David Knight?
Man,
I am getting fan mail. I love it. And dtchurnNO I will take this over a like any day. I think a person who blast you and yet can not make any type of intelligent argument over what they disagree with speaks Volumes about their true motives. Think they are associated with a con room trading room? Any bets?
BTW, so you have not issue with con artist trading rooms, they should not be muzzled from making false claims, but anyone speaking out against them should be. Interesting? You must have loved Madoff.
Keep the hate mail coming. Now dtchurnNO I feel relavent. LOL!!
Forget fan mail… Rob B gets fan videos! LOL
https://youtu.be/TxIWvHuVHLQ
It’s all starting to make sense!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxIWvHuVHLQ&t
You are right. Steve Nison video’s on how to trade. 🙂
Ugh… My link won’t work! Just paste this youtube link in your browser:
/watch?v=TxIWvHuVHLQ&t
It seems Rob B has rumbled quite of a few feathers!
For the Record I have no idea who David Knight is or what he is talking about. I think he has the wrong Rob B. So Sadly I do not think it is me that deserves the fame in this case. Maybe it is my twin brother. If someone can point to where I posted anything about David on this site please point it out to me and this is the only site under the user name Rob B.
I am not saying anything Good about David K. or Bad. I have no idea what he does. Did Emmett do a review of this person??
Sadly I can not take credit where none is due.
Rob – How long did you use livetraders.net? Did you track the room results each day?
Mads,
That was awhile back. I tried them out as they knew on the right things to say, such as they trade live and show brokerage statements. But when I took their trades you could make money for a short period under the right market condition, but then you would lose it all back and then some.
One lesson I have learned and if you read this blog it will be obvious, it is virtually impossible to find a single profitable trader, more less 3 or more in a single Trading Room (TR). When you see a TR with multiple operators I say run for the hills before you wallet is gone. There are only 2 reasons to have multiple TR operators and those are:
1) Smoke and Mirrors – It is always the person off mic hitting it out of the park and
2) A Complete Clown Show – Where the other operators praise each other on their fake calls.
And these Operators from Pristine where both Smoke and Mirror and Clown show Maximum. They could not trade their way out of a paper bag.
I saw the same BS Smoke and Mirror you see with all the other con artist TR operators. The person off the mic makes a call after the price goes up. He then takes his SL to BE where you would actually be entering the trade. So he cannot lose. Worst case he breaks even. While you on the other hand lose a full R or more on the trade. And usually more as many of their calls are low volume stocks with quite a bit of bid/ask spread. And of course you get the same BS Con Artist 101 story when you post that they made the call after the price moved up, “Well if you took our class you would have been in on the that trade before the price moved up” and to that I SAY BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then you get the other 2 con artist congratulating the trader on a great trade that anyone else took would have lost money. And of course the shills posting how they hit it out of the park. Yet the person trading live in front of you is always is losing money. And there is nothing unique here. They basically looking for Gap Opens and trade Break Outs. That is it.
On top of that their record keeping is completely inaccurate when you go back and try and match it up to their actual calls.
Then to add fuel to the fire they will show some snippet of a trade, which does not look anything like a brokerage statement. Or worst one of the guys would show a brokerage statement from years ago. I guess he made some money back then. Ask any of those clowns to show this entire year’s brokerage statement live and see what happens.
And the most frustrating part is Emmett is clearly on the VIG on this one or completely asleep, as he posted a long time ago he was in their TR and would do a review. How hard is it to demand for those clowns to show him actual live brokerage statement showing their trading success?
My conclusion – Another Scammer with No Proof of Profitable Trading. You would be better off going to Vegas and betting it all on Black.
You could not pay me to join a TR these days. IMHO, they are ALL, yes ALL scams
if you follow Rob B’s vegas advise, bet on red instead, my personal experience shows its the better bet.
Rob
Thank you. I joined the room myself for about 11 month ago, and it was not profitable for me.
And like you say, they “trade break-outs” But if you have 100 + room members trying to trade the same breakout at the same price level, the slippage is going to be hugh. Makes no sense.
Also tried to get some information on they’re “hedge fund” Which was even harder the make a + following they’re trades.
Like you say, i’m also wondering why Emmett dosen’t make this review about these guys. I have talked with Emmett several times on mail regarding livetraders.net and he avoids every question. It smells like a pay off to remain silent. Hopefully i’m wrong. In the future i will try following trades in the room and document everything on video. If things dosen’t match up, they will get a whole website with the only purpose to expose this possible scam
Gosh, I forget to even mention their hedge fund. What a complete joke. As part of the scam they tell you once you finish their trading course you will actually be able to trade for their hedge fund. Seriously investors are going to allow some unproven trader to trade their money. Either a scam or they found the dumbest investors on the planet. I can imagine the losses on that hedge fund.
The whole thing is a complete joke.
They use the “maverick model” so no, they don’t lose anything 🙂
Tradegod mad 2,500% return in 9 months form January 2006 to September 2006 starting with $10,000 and 2 contracts. He left Decemeber 2006. Never to be heard of again. Best daytrader. NO scalping. 1 trade and sometimes 2 trades a day. 2.5 pt stop. stopped out 45 minute break and then maybe another trade. Some days he made zero…but on those trend days….he made a killing.
Whoa!! I started day trading in 2005 till 2010-11. I went to all the chat rooms on Paltalk, Yahoo groups, 500 guru, on and on, cci, woodie, kwikpop…the list was over a hundred easy. One of the worst was Ace trades, along with Greg….what’s his name. So I blew 5 accounts and lost a lot. Kingfish ( he dead long time ago) did have some nice strategy for 10 pt trades on ES. The key here was a 1 pt stop. Today May 3 2019 ON ES you get stopped out. So I’m back again do day trading and all I’m looking for is a consistent person who knows the high range and low range. Pivot trading may be good, but you cannot use it as a stop out when the price is 7 pts away from the stop and the target is 5 pts away. These calls are never made when the price is close to the pivot..because the person doesn’t know which way it will go. I trade the RTY as my major and ES sometimes. I run 1 or 2 on RTY and 1 on ES. Day trading is income replacement…..not freedoom like postion trading. Finally, I did take calls from a daytrader in 2006 and he made in 9 months starting with $10,000 and 2 contracts. He would give 1 call a day short or long with a 2.5 pt stop and a target and he would let it run. When his account was at $200,000 he was trading 40 and 50 contracts….He was the best, $64.00 a week, no scalping. Don’t know how he did it and he would not teach.Had him only for 1 month..the guy was amazing. Once he got stopped out, he would wait 45 minutes before he took another trade…and sometimes he did not. His website was Tradergod. He left December 2006 after getting married to trade for a small pension fund…or so I was told. He was the best I’v ever seen and the ONLY great trader.
Wish I could find another daytader like this. Impossible….One more thing, nobody is going to give you a brokerage statement because if they could be making $1,000 a day, you don’t need anyone.
Money managers are they same. They lose OPM. If they knew to make money, they would have done it with their own money…..and be on the beach……
Moral is “NObody knows what you think they do,”
Geeze Dave, didn’t do himself any favors in the Youtube video directed towards Rob B. Seems like he got the wrong Rob B and I doubt anyone whose looking for a “mentor” is going to be impressed with his approach to dealing with criticism.
I hadn’t seen the video before you mentioned it .. hilarious 🙂 – The videos is a good example of why marihuana shouldn’t be legalized
Kenneth, you should judge a whole plant species by the actions of one boofhead.
Woops, “shouldn’t judge”
Something Rob B does. It makes him feel better in his sad ass life.
Kiasu.
noun
1.
a grasping, selfish attitude.
“I should have gone two hours earlier: the kiasu in me is growing”
adjective
1.
(of a person) very anxious not to miss an opportunity; grasping.
Does anyone know what paul is trying to say here? What post are you responding to paul? What’s the relevance of the Kiasu dictionary lesson. Just in case you’re interested another post that took less than a minute to compose.
Very amusing that the guys who said “likes don’t matter to us” have barraged recent comments with likes and dislikes. I wonder if Churn, Stray and Rob combined their meager savings to buy some likes from fiverr.com? It would be funny, if it was not so transparently pathetic…
Cast your votes. Is dtchurnNO actually Pete AKA toto, here to bust dtchurn’s balls or is dtchurnNO a shill for tradingfraternity?
They’re in serious need of ego stroking. Obviously awesome traders considering they have all this time to post rants while making millions.
LMAO.
Is paul the new incarnation of dtchurnNO? All this time paul? I don’t know about you but this response has taken me less than a minute to post. I think I can spare a minute or two.
When Rob B found this website all his wet dreams came true. Somewhere to rant, vent and have wet while dreaming that one day he will become a trader, rather trading comments, not contracts. Rob B The Comment Trader…..lol
Maybe paul is David Knight. You sure seem to have a hard on for Rob B paul/David. I can’t figure out what your issue is with him. Nothing that he’s posted recently should give you reason to be so antagonistic towards him. In fact Rob B does a stellar job calling shills and vendors on their BS.
I’m almost 100% certain paul is David Knight as well. He’s mad at Rob B for calling him out. He even made a video about it.
Now personally, I don’t see what the big deal is with this guy. He posts videos and blogs about how he cant seem to stay funded with TST so he’s only trading SIM accounts anyway.
The only issue that anyone might have with is that he’s selling a “trading mastery” course, “how to turn 10k into 100k” and so on.
Looks like a sad case to me and I would just leave it alone.
You’re correct Lucky7 but I also think that it’s important to not let the type of comments we’ve seen from dtchurnNO, David Knight and paul go unchallenged. If we don’t challenge them then the shills and vendors get to take over the comments section.
I agree and regular commenters should provide moral and emotional support for victims of Al Brooks’ 2008-present marketing campaign and similar shams.
Paul or whatever name you are going by, it seems a bit silly to argue over non existent comments. I would be more than willing to have an intelligent argument over something non imaginary.
So here is what I suggest, instead of posting in the About Trading School thread have Emmett review David Knight’s TR assuming he has not already. I am sure Mr. Knight is knocking it out of the ball park as he claims so all you have to do is get him to show Emmett his live brokerage statements as proof of his day trading room success. That should not be a problem now should it? Then in that thread we can post based on what Emmett’s Research shows. Simple enough.
I don’t understand why the comments have to turn personal. When Emmett reviews a website that is obviously bilking prospective traders of a monthly churn, it is done as a service. He always gives them a chance to prove their worth as a trader when in fact almost all 99% are true scam artists. Rob B seems to be a part of a group that is trying to inform the public of the absurdity of these false claims. Yes, when it is proven that these con men are defrauding investors it gets ugly. I don’t know why anyone would be upset with outing trading rooms that quite possibly can ruin someone’s financial future and often has been proven to be even worse than suspected. For anyone new and looking into a service or mentor, keep reading this blog and investigate all claims before you shell out ridiculous amounts of money learning how they made thousands in minutes. Soooo easy anyone can do it. Yes on a SIM it is very easy for them to micro scalp a stock with a .30 spread. If you watch some of these notoriously BS sites they can’t even trade well on SIM and they are gonna teach you to riches. Please, be smart and do your research. One must realize 99.9% couldn’t trade if their life depended on it.
There would be nothing for Emmett to report. He is a self-confessed SIM (that is TST) trader who has not been able to stay funded something like 4 times out. Great SIM trader, who seems to have made a habit of passing the TST combine. Not so much of a trader with a small real money account. Then again, what else is new.
If anything, he may be the proof that the TST model is unworkable. Those who pass the combine need to be funded with the same amount they had in the combine, not the pittance that they manage to eke out in 10 days.
Seems like there are multiple hoops to jump through at TST. Their design seems to be to make the trader fail so they can generate more combine fees. I have never understood why someone would put themselves through that. Better to trade SIM on their own and put away $50, $100, $200 a week for a year into a trading account and build up a small real trading account.
I agree 110%, if that is even possible. Here in a nutshell is the sucker model.
1. Pay us good money to show us the you can trade a $50k SIM account. We call it a combine, and we shall pocket the money that you pay us to demonstrate your SIM skills.
2. If you pass the combine, play the casino for 10 days.
3. Now, take the proceeds from the gambling and trade it the same way that you were trading the $50k SIM account.
4. You lost the pittance that you made in 10 days, because you chose to trade sensibly, rather than gamble recklessly and smoke hopium, looking for a big cushion?
5. Oh no! You lost the pittance because you were gambling recklessly and smoking hopium, looking for a big cushion?
6. You can always take another combine. Stick the money here. We are always willing to pocket another fee. Did you not realize sucker, that we are in the “Combine” business?
Oh, you that we are in the “funding” business? Sucker!
Oops. “Here in a nutshell is the sucker model.” was meant to read, “Here in a nutshell is the TST (sucker?) model.”
Emmet, it is an interesting website. Did you ever review Elite Legacy Education and their Master Trading program which is a $5K trading coaching program?
So Many Fakes! So Little Time!
1. I recently contacted Jonathan Rose of ActiveDayFaker.com (ActiveDayTrader.com) and asked for PROOF in a nice way.
The 5 messages exchanged are nothing that will surprise any of you savvy folks but they are nonetheless absurd, hilarious, illuminating and evil.
Please advise if there is a way to post them here or email to Emmett.
2. Contacted Preston James re his Money Press Method for PROOF. His site is FakersEdgeNetwork.com (TradersEdgeNetwork).
Same result as above but more efficient. Only one evil reply.
3. Contacted Lee Finberg at SaferFaker.com (SaferTrader.com). Same result as above. As efficient as James and even more folksy, homespun and obfuscated as Rose.
Thanks for your good work Emmett and the other participants.
Finally, Emmett offered systems/strategies that work to another poster. I have some skills with Tradestation EasyLanguage. I would be happy to code, back test and share the results with everyone here.
I also recall mention of a very few legitimate gurus beyond the few on the homepage? I’ve read a lot and should have made notes. Maybe I’m mistaken but would love to hear about any vendors that pass the acid test.
Sorry for the lengthy post.
Best regards to every honorable person here.
Leecifer
Thanks for sharing. They are all shamshow charlatans after a monthly churn of newbs. PrestonJames has long been an options sham meister. Him and “Karlson Keith”. Besides “Dj. J”-Najarian talkign head, they also had TobinSmith, who was kicked out of financial news for promoting junk penny stocks for bribes. Preston also had “manifesto” a multiple page essay detailing the retailers nightmare of going through fraud after fraud of trading educators like the vendors totally empathize. It’s just another sham trick, they pretend they are on the retailers’ side when even if they are retailers themselves they’ve sold their souls to the dark side and will now scam newbs for a monthly churn themselves. Preston had a bunch of other sites like “MasterIncomeTrader” (faker) which are now defunct where he ditched scores of customers who were signed on his newsletters where supposedly he was trading covered calls with a multiple hundred k account. Most of the calls were losers after losers and of course they were just doing a simmy shamshow. Once they can get a monthly churn, they have long stopped their losing live trading. Only when the CFTC can subpoena their old trading account records, it shows their glaring losses as bad as or even worse than newbs like SchoolOfTrade. Preston has his blurb quote saying he averages 18k a month in these tough markets. Sure, just monthly churn of newb fees profits in these tough markets they don’t even trade!
Hi Emett. I came back to this site looking for contact info so I can tell you THANK YOU! I was about to sign up with a website that offers training, forum, etc., but a niggling feeling made me do a Google search first. I came across your website, which had a terrible review on the guy. I searched your site for better options and eventually settled on Jason’s Oil Trading Group. I’m extremely happy so far and, as you know, Jason’s honesty is incredibly refreshing in this business. I’m so grateful to you, because I’d come “so close” to wasting money and probably many months chasing after dead ends. You’re doing a great service. Thank you.
so which 5 star site are you guys making money from promoting with fake reviews? what a sham, shame on you for misleading people with your facade of helping people.
Hi Emmett,
came across your website few days ago.. you are doing a great job.. guess many ‘experts’ wil not be happy with it.. but it is great that at least some one is conducting ‘almost’-objective review (you can never be 100% objective) to help traders avoiding painful mistakes and losses. CONGRATS and thanks for your efforts..!.. hope you get more visitors in your page. !
Regarding your list.. i was doing this research since months ago.. so thanks.. it is just what I needed.. I have been trading (swing) for 5-6 years, with acceptable success.. until I had a big loss (not my fault.. the company I had shares, just went bankrupt/sold, and shares where diluted.. so you know what that meant.. a huge loss..). so.. I’ve decided to give emini futures a chance.. and I have done some research, got 3-4 demo accounts from different vendors, demo-trading for almost 6 months now.. get some good profit in the demos.. and I think i am ready for real trading..
Your list is very comprehensive for discount brokers, although I do not see in your list one broker I came across few days ago.. ADM – IS .. any comments on this one..?..
So far, I have got demos from the following brokers:
1) Ninja Trader, (same platorm)
2) IronBeam (Firetip) = Zumo = Generic trader – IB’s working with IronBeam ,
3) Global Futures (Global Zen Trader) and
4) AMP futures (Multicharts.net)
I am not using any auto-trading style, strategies, or complex technical analysis, etc..just signals using bollinger, ema/sma crossovers and cci.. just bracket trades, no OCO, trading 3-4 hours a day, trades always under my sight.. few contracts a day (less than 10x). .
I appreciate any of you guys can recommend or give feedback/comments on these four (4) brokers and platforms..
Thanks. 🙂
Hello Emmett,
I’m considering joining a emini trading room. I recently came across sizetrade,com. They seem like they deliver results and are transparent. I signed up for their 7 day trial. I couldn’t find a review of them on your site. Have you had any experience with them?
Thanks
Why don’t you review Alla Peters course of https://fibonaccitradinginstitute.com/
Can you review http://www.tradingroundtable.com/? This guy claims to make “millions of dollars”. He spends alot of time on Stock twits SG7416 is his handle) and will block you if you criticize, but who knows. Would love a review if you can.
Youre a real piece of shit hater, your website is critizing many things yet alot of these “reviewers” dont spend money on the proper tools. If you think you can juzt sign up for a trading room and just listen to what people say and make money your an idiot. This website is stupid. You wasted my time and yours (obviously your time has no value) and to note i am not enrolled in any web chat group but its a shame what you are doing.
Am I the only one that has a problem with chronological order of replies? Ever since the new system has been introduced, weather I click on oldest, newest or most voted, replies are all over the place.
Hi Emmett,I have some trading schools and traders for you to review.What about Alpha Wave Trader with Alla Peters.Also Wendy Kirkland’s P3 system newsletter? Thank you.
Tidetraders.com would be a good site to review. I was a student awhile back and they were solid but tons of indicators.
Hi Emmett, thanks for the heads-up on several worthwhile and userous schools. This is a great thing you are doing. I was curious how your time investing with K Capital has worked out for you. Hadn’t ever seen an update and I am thinking of investing with him. Could you comment as a user?
Hi Emmett, just letting you know and warning other readers of a continued scam by a company/individual you reviewed previously.. This is Mark(or who knows now as he keeps changing his name) from previously XMA Trading, Bounce Trading, Masters of trading etc, and most recently PivotLines.com.. well, Right now in Online Trader Central he is doing a webinar and trying to scam more people under the new business name shadowdaytrading.com .. Just thought you should know and he needs to be called out once again
Love all your reviews and hard work you put into keeping us informed
Oh wow. See that track record? All winners! Never a loser! What a scammer. How do you know its the same guy?
Shawn Williamson,
You have the nerve of placing these lies on Blogs since you cannot trade. Shadow Day Trading has never been affiliated with any of the sites listed above.
We trade very successfully and are very profitable on a daily basis. Since you refuse to answer multiple emails sent to you and want to be a troll in Canada and hide behind your computer we have decided to take the following action. Accelerate the legal action against you for the following.Defamation per se, Injurious Falsehood and Interference with business relationships.
Emmett at least we have documented proof of our results. But it is amazing that you let someone post slanderous material on you Blog. By the way he has no clue of who I am that is why I am going to the extremes of suing him for his lies.
What proof of success do you have Gannon? You mean a colorful bar chart and a list of supposed trades? If this is your idea of proof then I’d say that Shawn Williamson is very safe up there in Canada.
All our trades are documented with brokerage statements to back up our results. Currently until this crap from Shawn who is placing slanderous lies on the internet is taken down it is a zero sum gain to show them. Our law firm we retained in Canada will now do the speaking for us and dear old Shawn is NOT safe from severe Civil prosecution and I am making sure of it. Again, we are NOT affiliated with the other companies this idiot claims. You cannot just make up crap on the internet and damage companies reputation and get away with it. This is the last post we are presenting because there is nothing more to say about the situation. The matter has now been put in our private detectives and legal counsels hand.
Hello Gannon,
This is Emmett Moore with TradingSchools.Org. Thus far, have received multiple requests to review ShadowDayTrading.com. You are not responding, and this looks very ominous.
In addition, your website bears a great deal of resemblance to several other websites that are no longer active.
Furthermore, you are making threats of “severe civil prosecution” to TradingSchools.Org contributors.
I would like to give you every benefit of the doubt. But hiding is not helping. And refusing to answer my emails is not helpful.
Either way, a review is going to written. And threats of lawsuits will not deter what I am going to write. In fact, if you are currently being represented by a law firm and have “private investigators”, then please email the contact of your official representation.
The review will be fair, open and honest. And I am going to state the facts. Your cooperation can only help.

@ Gannon “All our trades are documented with brokerage statements to back up our results. Currently until this crap from Shawn who is placing slanderous lies on the internet is taken down it is a zero sum gain to show them.” How the hell does that logic work Gannon? If you showed your trading statements then that would be proof that “dear old Shawn” is wrong and a liar. However, I doubt that dear old Shawn is much troubled by your threats and that he is safe in Canada. So let me give you another target. Gannon from ShadowDayTrading.com still wets his bed. He’s responsible for 9/11 and for Benghazi. He deleted Hillary’s emails and he styles Trump’s hair. Oh, and he’s full of crap.
Wow Stray Dog! Man you must have really good connections to get all that info on Gannon, good job;
but that part about wetting the bed — how’d you get that?
“We trade very successfully and are very profitable on a daily basis. & “Emmett at least we have documented proof of our results. ”
Really where exactly are those documented proof statement. As the only proof is Brokerage Statements. Where art they?
Hi there,
I have just read this website, and I like the idea of a place where we can review and read about the quality of trading products.
One think I like about this blog post, is that it gives a fair angle to both the educators and the students.
Since trading is a business where most of the customers lose, there will be a lot of angry people in the area of trading – so that is why a website like this is very needed.
Thank you for sharing.
Have you ever considered putting out a daily newsletter of all the current scam pump and dumps going on? I think it would be a great resource! Id love to work for you if you are ever hiring! Keep up great work!
How does one get to manage subscriptions to comments? I cannot seem to find anywhere to do so.
Good question. Let me check on that.
Hi Emmett, Can you review this guy ?
http://horststrades.blogspot.com/
Thanks.
Thank you for your honestly with so much crap and liar’s on the net it’s a breath of fresh air to read your honestly …. keep up the honesty ..
Hey Emmett, Is there a way I can contact you? I have come across a chat room led by a young guy who is definitely scamming his followers. I’d like some advice on how to handle the situation.
my email is emmett@tradingschools.org
Hi Emmett, please review VALUTRADER at http://www.valutrader.com when you have an opportunity. I have traded with him for a year and just never managed to get his results. He now trades a “Trade Along” room which costs $149/month which I tried but failed miserably although he posts positive results. I am hoping that you find that he is above board and that I failed due to my own inadequacies but you might find some skullduggery there.
Thanks
Johan Lombard
Since you’ve been in the room for a year, can you verify the trades in the room with his reported results for the day? Are there trades taken outside of the room session time?
Looking for a reputable trader who gives trade alerts (or teaches how to trade) in the cryptocurrency space…specifically Ethereum. I’m aware that Chris Dunn has jumped into this but based on your review don’t feel I should waste my money with him. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Please review CNFT futures trading room.
Thanks
Its perfectly fine to maintain any amount of money you need to trade the lot sizes that you are trading. 1 lot a minimum of 10k would be fine. 10 lots 100k etc. unless you are trading more than 10 lots I would not recommend having no more than 100k. I say this because i got burnt when I was with MF global a few years back, so now I just leave enough in the brokerage and the rest safely in my personal bank account.
Hi Emmet,
Please consider me as your hater. I am finding your reviews to be boring. Needless to say, this is not your fault; clearly, the trading industry has nothing else to offer, but scammers and Ferrari Top Gun Acrobats, like that guy from “F” Alerts. I posted the fact that I am not able to trade for a living a while back, and that just because I am not able to, it does not mean nobody else can.
I am going to stand my ground and say nobody can trade for a living. Each day, I look forward to bringing up your site to find a review of an actual trader that can make a living from trading. Each day, I find the usual boring reviews of “scammers”.
Putting aside your value added to the community,…your stuff is getting “BORING”! Please, with all my heart, give me something. Please publish a review of an actual trader paying all his/her bills with trading profits. There will be many that will come on and say they are currently not working and get all their income from dividend payouts, real estate income, along with a well-diversified portfolio, and trading newsletters/advisories, blah, blah , blah,…I am not interested in those smart folks. I am looking to hear from folks that trade each day to pay their bill, and if they do not trade and make profits that month, they will not be able to pay their bills. I look forward to others comments, but please, let’s keep this simple and stay on topic. Can anyone pay their monthly bills from a trading account of let’s say $50,000? Please feel free to move that account size to $100,000, and please try to stay away from “depends on your standard of living”. Let’s put it this way, I have a full time job, I pay my bills from this job. Can a trader pay their bills using this same context.
OK! Emmett, your stuff is not that boring, your reviews are done elegantly in fact,…but, you know what I’m after.
Emmett wrote “We have seen those same traders come back and start anew with $5k and parlay it into over $3,000,000 over a 5 year period. Yes, you can do it. ”
Listing 4 or 5 of these winners names and exact figures might help give confidence to the naysayers Emmett?
$5k into $3 million. Really? Well maybe during a once in a lifetime market like the NASDAQ bubble days. Trading just does not work that way. This kind of fantasy thinking is why 95% fail. The current stock market is very very hard to day trade profitably. Yes just like someone will win the Powerball someone will luck out and do that. What will happen is we will get into a good period for the stock market, which occurs less then the bad periods, and everyone will say how they are making money, then everyone starts to day trade, then the market turns and everyone loses money. That is how real trading works. In fact we saw that movie already called the Tech Bubble. You have no control of the market. And if no one is pushing it you aint going to make money, I do not care what the trading rooms are telling you. When are people going to realize if you could do what you stated Warren Buffer and every hedge fund would hire millions of traders to do it. It is PURE FANTASY!!!!!!!
Anyway, good luck with that. I tell you what why not start a journal showing those trades on how you accomplish this amazing task.
Somebody has to hit the Powerball!
There are a few home run hitters out there. Ed Seykota turned $5k into gobs of millions. Larry Williams in the World Cup started with 10k run it up to over 3 million and finished with 1.2 million. Pretty amazing really. Of course, these are outliars and the stuff of legend.
Also, I speak to plenty of brokers that tell me some amazing stories of private traders that nobody has ever heard of. Retired Mann Financial futures broker, Ray Clemente spent 30 years in the business. Told me about a canadian guy that traded wheat and corn and pulled out millions. It does happen. But never for me!!! LOL.
The funny thing is the investors who invested in Williams managed fund did not do so well. Many people day trade based on the Larry Williams story, but Williams and others bet big on Coffee or Cooper and were at the right place at the right time. Of course if you catch the bottom or top of some leverage commodity you can make a fortune. But most will lose and blow their account. I know many people that made money like crazy during the tech bubble, but could not make a dime today. But this is not how most people day trade. They expect to come in ever day and make 20 micro scalp trades a day in CL rain or shine and make 100 ticks a day. This to me is insanity. I am still waiting to see anyone show proof they can do that.
Williams has had an up and down career. Everyone loves to talk about that big World Cup year. And his daughter Michelle winning the cup. And the famous blow ups. And the arrest and hiding out in Australia. And the fights with the US Attorney. What an interesting dude.
Regarding TopStep, they sent me a statistical breakdown. But it was an extremely warped breakdown. Statistics are like prisoners of war, you beat on them long enough and they will tell you whatever you want to hear. And thats exactly what TopStep sent me, a highly skewed output.
Oh well. In my opinion, TopStep is a crappy deal. Even TopStep will coyly admit to it. But hey, people buy into it. I am personally conflicted about my big “rah rah” review for those guys. Honestly, was hoping more players would emerge…
IMO, TS does not want the real truth known. I am guessing the failure rate is HUGH and out of the ones that even get funded most of them also eventually fail. And the few that do make it mostly do not make anything like the returns being promoted by trading rooms and trading vendors. But all that must be kept secret otherwise the fantasy would die.
You know I have mentioned that is you have a small account your chances of make a living playing Powerball is higher, but I will give a better real example. I know 2 people that actually make a living as professional poker players. I have yet to meet anyone making a living from day trading with a small account and doing it with day trading as their sole source of income. So my advice is take up poker instead. Believe me that is the best advice ever.
I would also add if Larry Williams is such a great trader then why is he not making a billion a year running a top hedge fund. These top hedge fund guys are lucky to make a 20% return. Yet Larry with his HUGH returns can not get a job at one. And after making so much money in the 80s this guy should be a multi billionaire and not have to be running his silly website pushing his trading education.
Emmett when are you going to post real results of traders from TS. Let the truth be known.
successful traders don’t stay at $50,000 or $100,000 account sizes. Your whole idea is silly. Trading has ups and downs. Trying to maintain a $100,000 account and always removing the profit seems stupid. If you actually know how to trade, your accounts will grow. In theory is it possible to make a living off $100,000? sure. In reality, the $100,000 will grow to $500k or $1 million over time and then it is a whole lot easier to make that living.
It’s like a politician saying I’m going to raise taxes on rich people to 90% for this kind of income, and then expecting those people to just simply keep doing what they were doing for the next decade. Reality is that the rich person will change tactics to avoid the stupid politician.
You want to find something that works you need to stop looking at things as if they stay exactly the same every month. Just because your back testing tells you how to trade last January, that has no real meaning this upcoming April. You need a strategy flexible enough to change with the market. Trying to to trade on some static $100k account would be a bad idea. You might do well for a year or two, but eventually you hit a run of bad luck, make a bad mistake, or just hit a bad market and you built no cushion.
Emmett have you ever met a successful stock day trader that really makes money in the long run? They say 90% of stock day traders fail, I really think that its 100%
Emmett,
Very interesting website. I have been a trader for over 20 years. Starting with the basic (not even real time data) early retail trading platforms i.e. Datek, which later got bought by Ameritrade which later merged with TD Waterhouse. I have spent thousands of hours researching trading systems, set-ups, auto-trades, chat rooms, gurus, courses, trading software, DVDs etc. and have spent money on trading software and joined a few trading rooms. So, I am familiar with a lot of the companies you review here. I mostly AGREE with a lot of your reviews and some of this is from personal experience. I quickly realized that a lot of the Gurus are making way more money from “teaching” than actually trading. They say “those who can’t do, teach.”
That being said, I feel that your website is essentially doing the same thing that you are accusing these “gurus” of doing. You are, by your own admission, a convicted fraudster who bilked countless sheep out of millions of dollars. Now that you are out of jail and “reformed” we are supposed to believe that “out of the goodness of your heart” you are spending many hours reviewing these websites for our protection? Its very hard for me to believe that a person who has spend so many years without conscious, blatantly and knowingly ripping people off, has suddenly “changed his spots.” Especially when they hint that “finding Jesus” is the reason for the turn-around. Religion being, in my opinion, the biggest fraud of all. Religion makes the stock market look like a boy scout troop, in comparison.
I believe most things in life can be explained by “following the money.” Just ask who is making money off of this and how? This explains a lot of things in life such as politics, religion, stock movement, etc etc. So, this brings us back to your website and your impartial reviews. I asked myself the simply question, “who is making money off of this and how?” Well, it’s obvious, and to your credit, you don’t try to hide it, you are making money off of the affiliate commissions for Guru website that you “positively” review. The very popular websites that you negatively review bring in a ton of traffic by the unique keywords that they rank highly for in Google search. You are cleverly using SEO to bring in cheap/free organic traffic.
So, in conclusion, your negative reviews are probably fairly accurate, but how accurate are your positive reviews given that you are being paid to promote these sites. This is just as “shady” as being paid to promote and sell a stock that you know in your heart of hearts will eventually go to zero.
Since I have the highest rated service published by Emmett (kjtradingsystems.com) on this site, I feel I should respond to this comment. Since “Anon” states “how accurate are your positive reviews given that you are being paid to promote these sites?” I think a fact based rebuttal is in order:
1) Emmett is not an affiliate of my service
2) Emmett has never asked for money, or anything else in exchange, for the 5 star review he gave my site
3) I have never paid Emmett any money (or in any way compensated him) for my review
Emmett does have affiliate relationships with some other services reviewed on this site, but he fully discloses that fact. He is very upfront about all this.
I feel Emmett’s review of my site proves you do not need to have a financial relationship with Emmett to obtain a stellar review. You just need a good product.
If anyone want to discuss this further, just send me an e-mail. I am easy to get a hold of…
exactly, this website is a scam, more of a scam then the people they are using to build their own popularity from by bashing them, while promoting those who pay them with 5 star reviews. what a straight scam. and these comments won’t get approved either – this site is the scam site.
Emmett,
Thanks for everything that you are doing for the trading community. If you would, please contact me regarding some information that you may be interested in.
please review Tim Sykes
Thanks to Emmett many people have saved 1000’s of and wasted time on shitty scam trade rooms and also given people a place to let off some steam.
Remember, There are very few successful traders that are willing to share their consistent methods that has taken them many years of struggling and losses before they found consistent results.
I have been trading for many years and only just started to find some consistency.
After trying many methods and loads of ah ha! moments when you think you have found something that works only to realize its not consistent.
Finding a consistent method is a vicious cycle as when that method starts to lose money you will wright it off as a failed method and start searching for something new.
If and when you realize that trading is probabilities and you need an extremely thick skin to not let the losses bother you, then you may have a chance.
When you get a consistent method believe me you don’t want to share it, why should you when its taken years of pain and failure to develop.
Good luck to all those who venture into the murky world of trade rooms but be cautious.
Merry Christmas Emmett and to all the readers of his amazing blog.
Hello Emmett,
Just found your site today. Took your advice and visited Matt Davio’s site as well. Been trading for almost two years w/ very mixed results. Have mentored under Dan Sheridan for about a year. Also worked with Optons Animal. My biggest problem has been connecting with other traders I feel I can trust. It appears that your site is primarily a blog. It assessment is true, than is the best way to work on your site is to initiate blog on various topics of interest?
BTW, I’ve also reached out to Matt to discuss his mentoring program.
Kindest regards,
Thomas
Thanks for this website and your work! I wish we have such a site in Europe, where over the last years of the endless bull market and the growing Internet, scammers and frauds grow massively everywhere. The classic way is, that most of the mentors and coaches learn about 6 months to over 5 years to make money trading the stock market. They all fail and then they start to teach others how to trade. That is so ridiculous! But the Internet makes it true. Take a picture of you in a suit and build a fancy website, where you sell your shit. Done!
Hello Emmett, I’ve came across a review of a educator you’ve done some years ago. You have mentioned you’ve spoken to somebody and I believe it was me. I would like to talk to you about what you said. I do not want to use this forum to discuss. Can you reach out to me?
A nice video recommending tradingschools.org
https://youtu.be/uZdf-TnE4M0?t=16m6s
Dear Mr.Moore. I just read your story and I really appreciate what you’ve done. Thank you
Emmett – can you do a review of Emini Player and Open Trader (Ziad Masri and Awais Bokhari). They advertise a futures trading course and Awais has an emini trading room.
Thanks
Hey – thanks for your great reviews. I was wondering if you’ve ever checked out MOJO? (mojodaytrading.com) I couldn’t find them in a search of your website.
Any input on Algotrades.net?
Thanks for the reviews, Emmet. They’re very helpful indeed. If possible, could you please add Open Trader to your review list and, by extension E-mini Player (run by the same person)
Open Trader is a course and seems legitimate, but they initially said that they would be trading a live account and sharing the results, then said that for legal reasons they couldn’t (you warned about this). E-mini player has a live trade room but doesn’t show results and doesn’t seem profitable.
Thanks and best wishes,
Pete
how do you know they’re not profitable if they don’t show results?
Hi Emmet,
I love what you are doing ? There is a website that that is on your behaviour.(http://tradingschools.info/2015/08/05/a-review-of-emmett-moore/)I think it is by people who you have rightly pissed off. There are so many people taken for fools in this game because they believe in get rich quick schemes and there are people going to exploit that fact. Keep doing what you are doing Lad . I love reading your reviews
Hi,
i just read about your review of Market Order flow , and I appreciate your comment as i am about to send in money and want to learn about order flow, I have seen many video in You tube, and many people talk about order flow, too many software vendor as well, could you please suggest me a honest firm, that can really teach trader how to use order flow to trade E mini , and reliable software, ( as the searching and asking for weeks , i still are not going any where,), i just want to learn about order flow, and i search Amazon, there is no books about order flow.
Thanks
Ricky
Just curious if Emmett or anyone else has any info on this gent,
http://turnertrends.investorplace.com/
Sounds like the way I and most people trade. Another words theyu have no clue of what they are doping despite their claims.
Emmett,
You are correct; 99% or more trading rooms complete scams. But there is a bigger picture. The Trading Rooms are telling the retail traders what they want to hear, because very few can accept the truth of Real World trading and what is required to trade profitable. It is hard to swallow the blue pill, most rather believe in the fantasy. In the fantasy world you can have a $5K account, make $250K a year, take a $1000 a day paycheck and have an 80% win rate. Wow that sound soooooo Good! In fact I would say your odds are much better going to Vegas than that happening. Very few traders have the discipline or prepared mentally or financially for what is required to trade profitable in the Real World. I give you an example, on your Jason Love thread someone was complaining he lost $15,000 or so. Now I have no idea if Jason Love trades profitable or not. But if you are trading oil futures and expect to be making $250K then you would be darn lucky to only have a $15K draw down. In order to earn $250K you could easily get a $70K or larger drawdown. But no one wants to hear that especially if you have a $5K account. That is the difference in the Real World of trading .vs the fantasy world most of these trading rooms push. But if they told the truth they would have virtually no members. I know because I talk to other traders. I show them what best hedge funds returns are. I even show them what the top traders who trade in the Trading Cup Championship can do and those traders are risking 30% or more to win those competitions. They do not want to hear it. It is better to live in Matrix. Real World Trading Sucks!!
Such an excellent comment. So spot on true.
I have now had the opportunity to dig through several successful traders account statements, and what I witnessed is at times very scary. Ugly drawdowns, epic runups, back to drawdowns, periods of flat performance, anything but perfect consistency. Equity curves that look jagged and uneven. Its a sausage factory.
Hello Emmet,
I love your website and everything you are doing for the trading community. If you don’t mind giving me your email address, I’d love to ask you some questions. I’m just a 20 year old kid trying to figure out this trading world.. Thanks Emmet!
Hi Josh,
My email is emmett@tradingschools.org. Contact me anytime.
Just a 20 year old kid trying to figure this game out? Well, I can tell you that the vast majority of trading educators are frauds. And that if you portray yourself as a fresh faced 20 year old kid, they will see you as a tender target for the taking.
Ever watch the show The Walking Dead? Its not the Zombies that are dangerous, its the people that are most dangerous. Trust no human being in the trading educational business. Period. I am just giving it to you straight. The majority of trading educators will measure you by what they can take from you. Expect no sympathies because you are a youngster. This isnt baseball camp.
Instead, you need to be exceptionally suspicious of everyone and everything. Dont be afraid to ask an educator to show an account statement or prove that they trade. Be tough. Be brutal.
Regarding the game of trading. Its a game where you are trying to get the money out of someone else’s pocket. Your job is to be the taker, and do this with the same cold blooded attitude as a snake eats a hamster.
I know this is a very negative world view, but its the reality of the trading world.
My Dear Brother,
…it’s great to see that your helping people “see the light” and caution them on some of the crooks out there…Keep up the good work !
Raymond
John, I’m dieng over here. need an update on these passwords and oil training group before I look into them. lol trading is,boring home alone, need a room to break up the boredom… yes??
Yes, how do we get a password. If I already have one I have forgotten it…I’ve even forgotten if even had a password…I forget things, but I did find my marbles.
my marbles are rattled. lol
Emmett,
The updated oil trading group requires a password. … how,do we get it? 🙂
Excellent website, exactly what we (the aspiring traders) are looking for – it does all the research for us. We simply sort gurus by ranking, choose the style that suits us and ‘voilla’ – endless stream of $$$ coming our way.
But like many gurus, it sounds too good to be true… so can we trust it? Would you mind saying a few words on what are you getting out it?
Is there a conflict of interest?
It would be great if you provided a bit of background to the business side of this endeavour. Are you making money by running this blog?
You mentioned AdSense, but I refuse to believe that alone is enough to cover your costs (website, staff, equipment)?
Are you yourself looking for the ultimate chatroom/product? Do the vendors offer you freebies (membership etc)?
Sorry to put you on the spot like that but I am genuinely curious!
This is great question. And I will be responding tomorrow. All will be revealed.
Please reveal!
Still waiting Emmett….
Oh wow, I forget to update this. Sorry.
I lost faith…
bump……………………………………
Yes you did. You also promised all will be revealed and it wasn’t.
The funny thing is this completely blows your credibility. After reading through your sites many posts and reviews I really started to believe this site is for real. Then after reading these small responses I seed of doubt started to grow. My real question is why wouldn’t you answer Crapstones questions ?
So the question still remains (unless you have answered somewhere else and I just haven’t seen it), what vested interest do you have with this site? Please can you answer Craptone’s questions for us all?
Thank you.
Hi Sinn Fane,
Every month I publish an monthly income and expense report. Hopefully, this will help.
Thank you for reading and sharing.
Emmett
Thank you for this website.
I took a 2 day trial, which was way too short, with Trader Shark, as I was personally checking out every Trade Room recommended by Dr, Dean Handley and they were the last one .
It was OK , not very expwnsive (I always like that) and Brian was super nice. I was very impressed that they used common indicators, with their own settings, and did not try to re package them to sell. At least he was honest.
My only problem was that it was very hard to tell if he was personally taking a trade and if it was a short or long. Sometimes it was obvious but he did take a few counter trend trades and while he had been talking about setting up for a long, all of a sudden he was in a short, which I only knew when he talked about a vague target.
I and a few others in the room made some comments about the vague calls but he didn’t get mad (some of these guys just go off on you) and seemed really open to be more specific in the future. I had a great conversation after the room with him and he was totally open to being more specific so I joined a month for $147.00, figuring it would serve as an extended trial for me. This morning was my first day and I have to say that, unfortunately, he was even more vague than before and the only trade I was profitable (on SIM) was a short I took where I misheard him and he had actually taken a long. He lost 8 ticks but I made 9…LOL
I have 29 days left in my “trial” and I will report here so maybe Emmett can skip this one or latch his teeth into it. Unfortunately, for Emmett, there are only 24 hours in a day.
Thank you for the helpful and accurate comments about Tradershark.com. I also took the trial subscription and had similar experiences of not being able to follow Brian’s trades. Many members would request that he show his DOM or Chart Trader, which he never did. He would often call out an entry, e.g., “long opportunity at 2100”, and then not reveal whether he was in the trade or not until after it moved in his direction. If the trade was positive, you could hear his computer broadcast target filled (even though you wouldn’t hear it broadcast the initial order being filled). If the call resulted in a negative trade, you would often hear nothing. He would then explain why he decided to not take the trade. Very slick and deceitful IMO. Of course, I can’t prove that he was manipulating his speaker volume to broadcast only targets being hit (and rarely stops), but I can vouch for the fact that it is near impossible to replicate his trades in real time, simply because there is no visual representation of his trades, only verbal. Please check this room out Emmett.
Hey Emmett… just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to run this website… its truly awesome… keep those reviews coming… and if you ever personally find a room that you want to join and stick with.. LET US KNOW!!!
Peace Brother… and God bless!
I added a post way back on March 13th that is still waiting for moderation. I can see many posts after mine that have been approved. Can you tell me why my posts do not meet with your approval? I want to make sure I don’t repeat my mistakes. Thanks.
Thank you Emmett for such an informative website. I have really appreciated it. Are you still active on the project or not? May I send you a personal email with queries re brokers?
Thank you, c
I like this website. I am glad I found it.
We like your website. You are one of the few who is not afraid to tell the truth.
Thought we would reach out to you and say thanks.
Are you on twitter by any chance?
Emmett; is there a way to “subscribe” here so we know when updates are made ? Or do you send out email alerts ?
Also, are you yourself trading for a living (full/part time) now ? And, if so..with whom, what ?
Thanks
Ken Lumley
I’m so very sorry for your loss. He’s with you always.
Thanks Amber for the kind words. Nice to see you in the trading room today.
YES! You too! I look forward to chatting with you again soon.
HI Emmett (and Amber)
A short note to ask what trading room do you refer to here? Please 🙂
Likewise Emmett, I am sorry to hear of your recent loss of your dad. I genuinely hope you are doing ok. Loss is never nice, charles
Can I get your email I have a couple questions to ask you 🙂
Well written son. Your fertile mind will come up with a winning solution, thats for sure. I had a great day with you Saturday, thanks to your superior handicapping abilities I even won money. Spend the day with my baby boy and win money? What more could an old man ask for. Keep up the good work, I love you……dad
February 9, 2015, rest in peace Dad, I will miss you and I love you.
Emmett Jr.
You just brought a tear to my eye…bwaaahhahahahhahaahahahaha.
NOT!
From his comment I can say that Your father was very proud of you. It was a lovely and supportive comment as you shared your painful path with trading. His love will remain in your heart forever.
