Trading Doesn't Have to be Complicated

This will be a VLOG journal. I will record one entry per day via a youtube video posted here. This video is the initial explanation of what I am aiming for here. The audio has something of an echo and at times it sounds like I'm speaking from somewhere under the sea. I will try to figure out the source of the audio problem and then have it corrected before I record tomorrow's installment.

This link will take you to the snippet of Al Brooks I refer to in the above introductory video.

I will upload the .pdf of Al Brook's article referenced in the introductory video here as well.

I don't want to post any links to the Al Brooks scalping video I refer to in the introductory video above, but if you search the Brooks Trading Course youtube channel for the video titled Scalping series: #01 Rules for scalping then you should find it easily enough.

He is talking about Ali moin Afshari. who scalps for 2-5 points per trade and has said many many times all you need to double your account every year is 20 points per day. 5-7 scalps for 4 points. I know this because i have Als course and books and have spent quite a bit also on ALi's research and mentorship videos.

Another way to double your account is to charge like this for trading content:

I assume from your post you've purchased Afahari's trading course. He charges 10X what Al Brooks charges for his. How have you found his content to be compared to Al Brooks' content?

I am not one to dismiss trading for fee trading content. But I do find myself shaking my head at those who would charge this much for access to any trading course.

Does he have any free content on youtube or elsewhere that would allow us to do some due diligence without having to break into our children's college fund?

Having watched all 19 minutes and 25 segundos of Vidvads video

One thing stuck out above all else...One phrase says it all.
Perhaps its from being a lifelong student of "this"...(nothing related ,per se, to trading)

and that is this,,,,,

"Just you know I must have been thinking it. Somewhere in my subconscious mind this is
the direction I was going to go and the Universe conspired to put the influences in front of me
to make sure that that happened. "

My dad is having a health crisis, and I may not be trading for a few days. I had a small profit today $515.20 in my funded account, and I don't have time to do a video reviewing the trade. I'll be back at it as soon as I am able.
