This whole 'flight school', maths whizz, overly verbose, secret method posting approach combined with the need to generate training revenue have been done on this board many, many times. Of course, you don't need the training revenue do you ? Your training business is an altruistic venture aimed at helping newbies and the fees are only there to sort out those serious from those who are not.
My presumption now that I know you are using the forum to promote your training services is that you are a scam artist.
I could be wrong, you could be a 'laid back' teacher that doesn't care who believes him or not. As it is, I would wager that your ego will go into overdrive now at the affront. This is a a pattern with the scam trainers, they go full on against anyone who 'dare' question them in any form. This is something you won't see with genuine trainers who also trade, they do not have the insecurities associated with being found out before they have extracted a fair amount of money from newbies on any particular board.
Anyway - feel free to proceed.
I'll let you into one secret though. In my experience, the correct persona to project to appear as a profitable trader is not that of the "brain the size of a planet maths whizz top gun pilot posting diatribes peppered with historical references and an average of 5 syllables a word". Whilst this may impress the small minded and gullible, it will attract people with a nose for bull****.
Your whole persona on here seems quite contrived.
Of course, there's a chance I am wrong but I'd put money on that not being the case.
What am I to conclude about advice from someone who appears on the forum flying a false flag? You show a US flag, but the mouse over legend says United Kingdom.
What am I to conclude about advice from someone who makes statements of fact that are so easily refuted? And when called on it changes the subject.
What am I to conclude...?
Secret method. What secret method? As I recollect, I have disclosed everything except those choices that are based on the trader's level of risk tolerance and personal goals.
Training revenues. What training revenues? To date, the students I have had on my trading methods (more subject material than just my strategy) shared the expenses of a room and snacks. I have had no net revenues to date. I am, however, seriously considering teaching my methods and strategy for profit based on the feedback of students, PMs, and some forum responses. When I do, it will be easy to tell. I will place a vendor's badge on my profile.
Go "full against" anyone who question in any form. Correcting misstatements is not, in my view, going "full against." On the other hand, use of ad hominem attacks is over the line for me. If I slip, I should be called on it.
With me, what you see is what it is. I write the way I think. To change my vocabulary for an audience would seem to me to be intentionally talking down to them. I try to be the kind of teacher who, when asked a question a second time, answers differently rather than louder. If someone doesn't understand what I am teaching, I assume that I am at fault for not explaining things effectively. If someone posts a response with things I did not say, I try to correct it. If someone posts a response with bullying content, I try not to be offended.
And so it goes.
