ATTENTION ALL WORKSHOPPERS


A detailed email has gone out to everyone.

Please only respond if you can make it the way it is written.

If you are interested in the workshop details or dvd/tapes and didn't receive an email. Please send me an email (not a pm please) it's too hard to keep track if you don't email me.

Email address is on the first post.

Thanks, get those pips!

@ Bo & Skunny

Is there a reason your not doing a web conference/webinar instead of the in-person workshop? Especially since traveling can be a problem for most and it would reduce overhead significantly.

Hey TF, we just may end up doing something different, but there are some that want to get away and socialize for a change (me). It becomes tiresome staring at the screen typing to people you never met. (especially if you are inept at typing)

This is just a trial balloon, an attempt to help those that need help in a live environment (where you can have coffee and tea together). It may not be feasible and if it isn't that's ok as well.

It's unbelievable how much time is involved in trying to organize a workshop. I was naive in thinking this was simple to do. Webinars are a bit easier,(from what I hear) but take a lot of preparation to make them effective. Unless you are teaching the info you really have no idea (I didn't). Now I know why the so called "gurus" charge $2000/seat in a 150 seat conference area - while selling the latest greatest fancy dancy can't lose system of the year..."trust me". (and every year they have something better btw - so hurry seats are going fast...lol).

I wonder how much one could charge if you could actually teach someone HOW to trade. 10k a seat? 50k a seat? lol.

So........ I have a lot of time and missed trades into this so far and I'm thinking that if the live workshop doesn't pan out that I need to find a complete different way to get the information to those that truly want it.

In conclusion, I prefer to go somewhere and hang out for a bit and I'm sure Bo would like to get away from his mule and his trading terminal in the barn- which happens to be next to the manure pile. (and you think your trading stinks)

There seems to be enough interest as a group, but the reality of getting most together seems to be the biggest challenge. We'll see.

How about this:

We do it however we must - web (live interaction or not) or video....then we all put the info to use, earn pips, then we can afford to meet up with our extra money and take whatever vacation time we all want!

And location won't be as much of an issue....

No worries - here's the deal - I will have a private investigator bring super secret tiny video cameras and we are going to video EVERYTHING Bo & Skunny do. So we will all know if they really trade naked (charts that is) or not when no one is looking. Then I'm going to sell it on eBay..

P.S. - If you have ever bought any forex stuff on eBay you'll know this will be the best info ever and I'll be RICH

Not sure if I should post here or not. I got the email with the proposed dates and location. Location is fine by me, but probably can't make the date work. I really would like to do this, but the dvd would be ok I guess.
Thanks again to Bo and Skunny for making this available!

I know loads of people who've bought systems off ebay and their lives have been changed. They now all drive Farrari's and live in Monaco for tax purposes - at least that's what all the testimonials say.. LOL

Seriously though, I'm gutted I won't be able to make the get-together. I was quite up for a knees up round the camp fire with Bo strumming away on his banjo while everyone had naked races to the river (I thought that's what guys always did when they got together over a weekend?? )

I'll be on the lookout for that secret footage appearing on Youtube!

I know that a lot of people here are starting out, trying to figure out this Forex stuff, and money is tight. It would seem that the easiest and far cheaper way to share the info would be a webinar. From my own experience, it's like comparing a leisurely gourmet 7 course dinner and evening with a group of new friends, to a drive up fast-food meal you eat on your way home. The difference is in the interchange, meeting everyone so you have relationships with people who were just other names in the forum. Not to mention having a lotta fun in the process!!

Come join the fun! You won't be sorry

If your still gonna put on a seminar YOU need to decide where it will be. Those that are truly interested will come, weather it's in there home town or not. Get your ducks in a row as to costs, dates and location, get the people to register and require a registration fee, if not enough register to cover your cost, cancel the seminar and refund the registrations, if everything comes together but people don't show NO refund of registration fee's
Pick a place that is easy for people to get to has decent facilities and reasonable prices. JMHO

afterthought....... also any participants must leave their trading systems at the door,(this is because a group with so many different ideas can throw a discussion completely off course. this would be your seminar, keep control of the discussions.) they are there to learn your concepts. Not conceptualize their own.

The two of you putting on a seminar would be excellent, I've learned more about the market in the past few weeks than I have in 3 years of trading. I am finding the biggest problem putting into words my questions. I would bet there are similar problems putting the answers in words.

That being said (or written) I think you should also take into consideration that not everyone who would want to take the seminar could travel, and/or take time from work to attend. Not all of us are full time traders....yet.

Myself, I own a tech company, and rarely get time to get away. One of the curses of owning your own business I guess.

But that doesn't mean I'm not committed to becoming a better trader, a profitable trader, an ex-itguy. So although I most likely wouldn't be able to attend, I would still like to reap the rewards of attending.

If this seminar actually happens, please consider doing the following for guys like me both it and non-it:
1. Tape the seminar, best in video, but acceptable just audio.
2. Consider opening up a live trading room with audio and desktop collaboration for whiteboarding/ chart sharing, etc.... (btw, I could help with that setup )
This would be great. I live far far away from the States...

the live trading white board idea sounds terrific as well...I will be attending the seminar but would love a room like this, as we could get charts and learn in real time and even make a few pips to pay for the next seminars? i have logged in to pipsnipers.com and learned from them in real time by seeing the charts on a whiteboard while listenting to the moderator explain them in real time as it happens and it does work quite well. IT is a fantastic way to teach and/or learn. The technology is terrific
