"For Sale" or "Free for you to pick up"

I felt compelled to post this...

Backgrounds: {Me & Them}

Me: Done this Trading stuff since before most of you escaped the Womb.

Them: Like any forward looking business, try to keep up with consumer "Demands"

Personally: I have hired & fired probably close to 1,000 people in Other Ventures.

Truth be Told: I just wish I had had this resource in other ventures.

The Crux: If J16 is deemed to be in forfiet... So am I.

Let it also be known that I will endeavour to inform anyone willing to listen to me of such a move.
I understand FF is attempting to accomodate the 'Masses' But that's not what got it here.
What got it here were the Members. Dump them {or thier free ability} &; well... you know the rest.

Let's make it quite plain here.
J16 is Worth it or Not.
Any Member of J16, current or past, that feels they were ripped, here's your chance to Tell The World.

{I soulda made it a poll.}
Seriously. I know some have left the J16 PF.
Would you care to tell us why?

And Then... I realized.

He has been doing it for >5 Years & still a Hero.

Let me know if you have something better.

{Hmmm... perhaps I should give J another visit..}

Disclaimer:
I am Not Affiliated {I am a PF Member though} with Nor do I I have any Monetary Interest in J16 PF.
I am a Member & have to say that it has been my Lowest Expense to exposure of such great content.
Yeah, yeah Twee Board... You can nail me for putting forward my opinion and that would be worth it.

lose Jim & you lose your credibility. Just sayin'

hear hear...

I have never been a member of J16 PF but i followed his thread (and still do) and have learnt so much from the man. He is a true HERO. I'll go as far as saying that to succeffuly trade FX, one NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT J16 TEACHES.

This is the real question that needs to be asked. Because J16 is such a kind person, people tend to take advantage of his good nature.

I strongly feel he should charge more and not support the free forum that much, this way he'll filter out a lot and get some really nice and serious people on board.

Just my take on things.

I was a member for a short time, and I still would be if I had not been laid off a few months ago. The Fijitrader stuff had the most impact, although I'm sure I didn't get out of it what I needed to, if I had I would not be posting threads about giving up .

I'm not sure what's happening to J16 here at forex factory, have not been keeping up with the thread. But it would be a shame to see the free material and discussion no longer available...

I have been a member twice of J16 and have most of the material off-line, I joined the second time to update the material and mainly videos, which I might do again is in 6 months or so. Until im trading live profitably I will hang out in the free thread.

I was a member for a carefully planned 2 months.. mid June to now in mid August. During those specific 8 weeks I had the opportunity to spend a great deal of time with the J16 material and with the instructors and contributors. I am an experienced trader and it was Well worth it. A newbie to forex would want to spend quite a bit more time at this, well I will call it a .... Trading University.

Now sadly my 'summertime freedom' is over. Looking forward to my next vacation so I can return to old "T U" .

Bemac- Thanks for starting this thread!

I have to say that I personally have learned loads of things which have really helped me further develop as a trader. James has to be the most unselfless man I know. Willing to give his time, and energy to so many individuals.

His material and the way it is presented here on FF and in the PF is clear and easy to understand.

Just as Lou has said any new trader would be served well to immurse themselves in the James16 material or as he has so endearingly called it the Trading University which I personally feel is very fitting.

James will live on and his group will continue to prosper!

Well, I have to agree

I was a member of the site for a month, money is tight and so I could not fit it into my budget to continue. However, I felt there was a wealth of information there and I will sign up again in the future. I did learn a lot during the short time I was a member.

ive been a member for 8 months. haven't really gotten time to read all the material but it is useful. Might as well stick around for the 12 months and become a lifetime member. I've pm'd mbq11 (i think thats the username) a few times and he is quick to respond and is very detailed and through with his answers. I would recommend it. It definately can't hurt. in a game where you can lose thousands in a matter of minutes whats 128 bucks a month?

Hey Bill I am also a life time member of J16. Been one since even before it left FF. If Jim were only available on his forum, that is where I would ONLY be also. The wealth of talent is incredible and up till now, has all been available here at Forex Factory on the J16 thread. Jim has never held back in his assistance to anyone that thread. I find this section a bit troubling, because I hate to see Jim's thread which is not commercial lumped in with, well, I think I will leave it there.

I cannot imagine a better value anywhere on the internet for trading knowledge and discussions. I am honestly glad it is a paid sight, That keeps those who enjoy self aggrandizement away, as they can not afford to put their money where their mouth is. When one looks of solid information, there, it can be counted on as being accurate and well tested.

It saddens me a bit to think that J16 thread is no longer be the flag ship thread I see on the home page of Forex Factory. Now I see some decent threads, (no doubt) and a lot of half baked, untested garbage that is passed off as intelligent discussion on the home page of a forum that I am very fond of.

One of them right now was started by a guy that has been banned and keeps coming back under different aliases. (CCI Cross) as a quick example. Now this is truly sad.

Agreed.

Its completely worth the money to have access to such a talented group of people in such a specialised area, with no rubbish or unproven BS.

If I want feedback on a trade, or to throw an idea up for input from guys who know what they are talking about - they are almost all on the PF. Post a chart and Mike will tell me I screwed up. Have a question and Jim will be on it. Cant get that level of assistance in a thread which moves so quickly.

and if they arent now, they probably would be in this scenario. Without them here, there would be little point to asking for constructive conversation.

The entry fee would also cut down 90% of the undercapitalised, doomed to fail traders. The whole 'I has $200 how fast I make $1million with pa J16?' that is strangely abundant on FF.

I am new and lost when I hear that abbreviation
