Look, firstly, I hate this whole mob mentality.
I think everyone deserves a second chance. God knows I've asked for enough in my life.
So I put the post out there as a warning to both perpetrators and newbies that may consider paying for tuition.
What I do is nothing new so of course I don't have a monopoly on it. I was taught it out of the kindness of someones heart, in turn I teach it.
Some people will make money with it, others won't.
I don't have a problem with someone charging for trading education - we all have to make money somehow and there is nothing wrong with it if you provide a service.
Being a mentor - teaching a strategy in person, being available 24/7 to answer questions and provide advice: that is a service that some may consider worth paying for. Providing a web link or a PDF to a strategy that is freely available on the internet and then charging an extortionate amount for it, is simply unfair.
I have to say I'm also pretty disgusted with the attitudes of some people on here.
Depth Trade - don't teach the competition your innermost tricks? I know many people that think the same way. I understand it but that doesn't stop me hating the selfishness of it and of the people that will take but never give.
I took a trader from here under my wing once and showed them an exploit that I could have used to make a fortune for myself. But I did it because I wanted to help them as they were having a difficult time. We used it together and then it stopped working. But then they made their own discovery and turned their back giving me the whole "you have to do your own work to find these things" and disappeared before I could remark on the irony of the situation.
I don't need to name and shame. It's enough that the person I am talking about is reading this and knows I am talking about them.
Also, you would think that if someone goes out of their way to help you - offering you advice and trying to get you a foot in the door at a firm so you can do what what you want to do with your life, that you wouldn't backstab them and make them out to be a c*nt whenever you get the opportunity.
