I am new to this board and am quite dismayed at so much negativity about so many things.
I am not connected to Simon in any way apart from the fact that I live in Malaysia too and an ex-student of his and have done very well indeed . In less than 3 months I have made 2.5x my capital , I feel very good about that , and I think that very few people can match that kind of return . Believe me I am no newbie trader so I know what is what .
He was wrong with his first post but I believe he has corrected it . He's really OK in real life .
Why can't we just accept that some courses are good, some are bad ? Not everything is one way .
As for his statements , at least he has the guts to put them out , how many of you dare to do that ?
And you are twisting his words . The fact is he has made 6X return on a SB account on *credit* , it may not be the biggest amount but I tell the returns are what counts , as I found out . If you can 6X $1,500 , you can do the same with $100,000 . It is exactly the same . Anyway , he was a house trader at the same time as he was trading that account , you don't expect him to leave his job trading 100's of thousands just to do SB do you ? How many of you are house traders ?
It was this honesty that mainly attracted me to his course . People can talk that they trade 200 lots but that means nothing if you lose money . What is so good about trading $100,000 and losing 1/3 of it ?
I rather trade $5,000 and make 3X that in returns .
I hope you will see this post as part of a balanced discussion and not me cheering him , because I believe I am objective.
Thank you .
