DislikedOkay Winston Reed. I have to admit that it wasn't just your stupid trading methods which offended me. You were also showing all the signs of being an horrid little man, and I wanted rid of you. I'm away now. You carry on being the champion of all trolls everywhereIgnored

For the record IF never taught me anything. He makes statements as if he was some sort of mentor to me which he was not. I did participate in the RTM website but at most was a casual on and off participant as I was on other websites including J16 and others. I was a member of J16 much longer than I was at RTM and followed the teachings of Mike (MBQB11) much longer than I was a member at RTM. I even paid to become a lifetime member at J16. At one point I became profitable using J16 methods and began to post trades on my thread at RTM. IF himself saw this and of course criticized me but said he would follow. The next day after posting a series of successful trades my thread was eliminated. Of course I was angry and I posted my discontent. I was immediately banned.
Since this event I have questioned many commercial members selling what is essentially snake oil. They take the money of ignorant wanna be traders and offer zero evidence that they themselves are profitable by their own methods. This is also true of IF, RTM academy graduates and any member on his website. If even admits himself that he not only doesn't trade but hates trading. By the way, entrance to the RTM academy requires a hefty fee. It wouldn't be difficult to make a living off these fees.
I believe commercial members should be held to a higher standard since they are charging others to acquire their knowledge. At a minimum they should demonstrate some sort of track record of profit. No doubt not every wanna be trader will become profitable even after studying the expensive lessons of a commercial member but knowing that the purveyor of the method has published proof of profit sure helps.
Also for the record I challenged J16 the same way I am challenging RTM. I engaged in a heated email exchange with Jim a couple of years. I only asked him to provide evidence that he himself was profitable using the methods widely seen on the J16 thread and also in the private forum of which I was a member. Of course he refused and I was banned from J16. To Jim's credit he refunded my lifetime membership fees.
IF and RTM claim to have the answer to trading profitably yet they offer nothing in the way of proof. Sure they post profitable trades here and there. I think Mertch is their front man who posts on other threads an occasional profitable trade. But no one from RTM and for sure not IF shows any consistent and ongoing record of profit. I guess if you count membership fees academy fees then they are profitable. LOL.
