Since joining Jacko's group I have seen trading in a whole new light.
It is not merely a disorganised series of buying and selling of different currencies. It is a strategic and calculated system of trading that takes all the pressure off when looking at the market.
He also has a more holistic approach that includes a view of trading as a total business, not merely random trades that is something more akin to gambling.

Jacko sees trading as a lifelong business that can be conducted anywhere, anytime by anyone.

Jackos group is the best deal in Forex. He is the real deal. Where else are you going to be able to talk to a guy who trades 200-300 Euro Lots at a time? He answers every one of my emails when I have wanted to ask something. And he answers them within 24 hours
There is no bullshit in his blog. He trades live and gives us hours of warning about his upcoming trades
As to having to pay for the blog, I have recouped my joining fee many times over and I have only been a member for a short period.

If you are serious about trading as a career and lifetime business you wont do better than to contact Jacko and see if there are any more spaces in the second group.
I did and its money well spent.
I haven't made a million dollars yet, but I am surely well on the way there now. And I have a business that I love.
Now, how do I get set up in a tax haven?

I personally know of two one of which mentored me to some degree. I have to say they were well capitalized, when they started though. Both are not doing anything different than the rest of us let me tell you. One scalps GBP/USD 5 days a week 40 dollars a pip, and successfully manages to bank 30 pips a night during LO. The other day trades Fib levels, Trends, and S&R but he plays with 60 dollars a pip. They all ways tell me it takes money to make money I don't say anything because I know my weak ass deposit of 35,000 makes me look small time.

I think allot of trades here are not well capitalized (Including my self) initially, no offense if you are though. We are banking pips I don't think allot of us are banking the money yet. Funny thing I asked them both if they heard of FF and they both said no LOL.

The answer to your question is NO I have not made a million but I am working on it.
It's me...

I'm a member of jacko group from the beginning.Yes, Jacko's system is good in trending markets, he made millions in 2007, when we saw huge EUR/USD trend.Recently we catched a series of huge losses, cause Jacko believe in EUR/USD uptrend and trying to buy dips.I think if you want to make millions here, you should use only your own Common Sense, don't find mentors, don't browse forums. Read one or two fundamental books, and try to trade. If you'r screening charts time will be more than 1000 hours, you will find some patterns and start to make money.

I agree/disagree to some degree. I like the forums cause I cant see all the angles all the time but someone is looking. But I have hesitated and even not traded due to someone elses analysis when I should have trusted my gut. I have also gotten out and in a perfect points because of someone else so I am in limbo as far as that goes. I a profitable but not to a large degree. I started with $70 went to 600 in a short time and back to 250 then down to $35 then up to $480 which took longer and with less lots-much less. I know I can trade its just a matter of mm and patence.

People making millions of dollars aren't often shooting the shit in the forums... I guess that reveals my income level.

There are ppl in these forums that have made 7 (perhaps 8) figures trading. Some even have a decent post count, altho they aren't likely to come out and admit their success online (it invites trouble).

People play online for all sorts of reasons, to each their own, but it's not always good to assume things.

I know a trader who started wth $100 and turned it into $500k in four months. I didn't believe him at first but he really did. He went on winning the weekly trading championship at the broker he was trading at and this broker discloses the amount won in USD every week. Over four months it adds up to about what he said which is roughly $500000. He got so successful he was raking in $180k a week! Best of all he was a part time trader he used to get home from work and begin trading in the evening (after London close) and would trade into the late night.

Finally the broker pulled the plug on him, the broker is a crook which I know for a fact and not even registered with the NFA. Its probablly a bucketshop. At that point he was raking in 70k a day!!! Can you believe that. He said one particular day suddenly all his open positions were closed automatically. when he checked with the broker he was told he was the one who closed the positions. He then went on to explain he had seven open positions and as fast as he was he wouldnt be able to close them simultaneously and the trade log indicated they were closed at the same time.

Then the broker came up with a story about a software glitch, which was basically a lame excuse. He asked to be compensated for his loss but the broker came up with some other excuse he finally got fed up and wanted to cllose his account and withdraw all his money.

The crafty broker said that would not be possible as his account was under investigation for urm ..... malpractice and they froze his account and locked his thread in the forum. After a lot of squabbling the broker gave him only one third of his money claiming the account was still under investigation but they would realese one third of his money and open a new account if he wanted to trade in the meantime.

He started a blog and made posts at the brokers forum but nothing really happened. After a while I read on his blog he switched to fxcm.

I dont know whether he was able to get his money back and if he's still with fxcm as he dosent update his blog anymore.

Its a real sad story.

The facts are he was a regular guy just like you and me with a day job, i think he was an IT ptrofessional, and he actually did turn $100 into $500k, and this was in november so I'm guessing he's nearing the million dollar mark now if he hasnt already crossed it.

So its possible.

By the way he didnt know anything about TA he discussed some of his method when all the other members started hounding him with pm's for tips. no hi fi coding, probability theory, game theory, no lenthy posts with blah blah blah, no backtesting etc. In fact the platform he was using isn't even capable of backtesting.

I'm not for one second saying TA dosent work i'm just saying the most successful trader I know didnt use it.

So dont lose hope pal.

70k a day will buy an extremely professional troubleshooter that can track down anyone and fix them for you. I'd start with the president, then work my way down. This company has probably screwed so many people, they wouldn't know where to start looking.

Quite an interesting story Fugly.

Would it be possible to name that broker? I think many would stand to benefit by avoiding whoever would allegedly pull such a scam.
