In pboyles defense, i'm an experienced trader and I couldn't think of anything worse than having to deal with a load of people everyday who have no idea what they're doing. That's no disrespect to new traders, we were all new at some point, but i'd expect them to walk the same path of self discovery that I had to do to get where I am today.
I'm not saying all are scammers etc, but as a trader I don't understand why a good trader would be interested in training loads of newbies during the day. When the markets are opened I've got my own trading to deal with, then when i'm not trading I've got the rest of my life which I'm more interested in.

As a trader you're an individual, how I trade, another person might have zero success with. We're all different with different tolerances to risk. The technicals are easy to learn and are pretty basic, the reason why most can't make trading happen for them is because they put 90% of their focus into the technicals which are neither here or there.... and spend most of the day thinking 'I want to make X amount of $$$ a month.
If you're not getting anywhere with trading then chances are that you need to completely reevaluate how you're approaching trading as well as your views of trading. Making $$$ is just a by product of good trading, and good trading isn't being a technical wizard.
