So, I've been in the FTSEDay room as well and I have since left the service despite persevering for many months the excuses the vendor gives on a daily basis why he won't be taking any trades.
Service Review - your assessment is spot on.
The vendor himself DOES NOT TRADE FULL TIME and holds a day job - that in itself is sacrilegious!
He has little knowledge about trading and quite often appears to be scared of the market jumping out of trades for break-even or 1-2 point losses. He does not have control over what he is doing and his understanding of the market is extremely poor. More often than not, he will call trades retrospectively and his market review videos are all in retrospect and is effectively useless in a live trading situation.
In the room, one does not even know if the vendor is taking trades himself as you do not see any evidence of trades taken - not even a trade history page is shared. When he is live in the room, most of the time is spent with him having a go at people who he says "does not get what he does!"
Although he encourages starting small and risking more with a small account - it just feels like death by a thousand cuts as your account leaks 1 to 10 point losses and the wins feel like I just been lucky that time.
What did it for me was really how unprofessional he is in running a paid service. Persistently not being live on the mic (i.e. not showing up to work), countless of excuses why he is not trading, and basically really poor trading performance should have everyone asking for a refund.
He claims to know how to trade like a pro declaring how he knows what the pro traders do in the City - but that is far from the truth. At no point is the vendor was a pro trader and I doubt he knows any pro traders at all. That, to me, is misleading and misrepresentation.
Why would anyone pay £80 a month for this insanity??!
I really am NOT trying to make a case for FTSEDay, as I say they are probably a long way from perfect, but reading this, why persevere for "many months" if they're that mad? Same goes for anyone using trading rooms, does it really take that long to find they're unprofessional/ sacrilegious/ expensive/ scared/ misleading/ insane?
If anyone is crazy enough after reading this thread to think of joining a trading room, (and why would you when you can lose your life savings trading by yourself anyway), give whatever organisation it is a call or email and ask if you can have a trial day or week, that ought to be enough for anyone with half a brain to see if they like its modus operandi. Yes, and if they won't then don't.
