I am new to the Forex market and was wondering if this forum will be easy to understand and a easy learning place? Would you say this forum is better than buying another course which is 3 to 10x the price? So far I've heard only good things but know one has talked about it for the last couple of days. I'm very eager to be a part of the James16 Group.

Hi Cody and welcome to Forex Factory!
Well, in my opinion it's easy to understand, but you have to put time in practicing the things that's being taught there.
I am currently on this stage.

If you still haven't gone to the site, the forum format is given in this site:
http://www.james16group.com/More_Information.html

If you want to have a preview of the stuff that's being taught there, you could check out the following threads:

James16's Chart Thread:
http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...ead.php?t=2331

Diallist's Knife System (Derived from vegas' 4Hr Tunnel):
http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...ead.php?t=3422

If you're not familiar with vegas' system, you can download the docs here:
http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...ead.php?t=4365

Of course, the threads in the private forum is more organized.

As for Fiji's sections, he doesn't have any dedicated thread so I guess you'd have to check out his individual posts.

Hmmm.. I can't comment on this since I still haven't purchased any course other than James16's Group.. Maybe others could give their comments on this.

Well, this is just my opinion since I really don't know what everybody's doing right now. But recently, due to the new docs vegas has put out, everybody's been quite busy putting all the pieces together. Jim's Price stuff, Diallist's Knife, Fiji's Money Management and Psychology, so most probably everyone's plate is quite full right now.
The group is only on it's second month so I think after studying all the concepts, everyone's got to practice what they learned.

Anyway, it's good to hear you're interested with the group. I hope one of the instructors could give you more info that I may have missed..

Hope this helps,

Hi Cody,

Thanks for your interest in the James16 Group.

As for ease of understanding and learning (at least in my section of the forum) I have given a step by step tutorial with lots of pictures to illustrate the important concepts. When I wrote the tutorial, I kept it simple enough for ME to understand! In addition to the tutorial, there are discussion forums where you can ask any question you want without worrying that it might be too dumb. And if you need to ask a question that you don't want others to see, I've got a dedicated email address you can use.

As to price, if you go to our homepage at www.james16group.com, you will see the following survey results:

I've only been involved in forex for a few years, this is, by far, the best forum out there.
Here, you'll get lots of help, from lots of good folks.

You will probably save yourself a lot of time and money, if you just stick around.

Diallist, James16, Figi, Vegas, all, are top of the line, good guys. There is also, a whole bunch of others, that are here to help out a rookie. Too many to name them all, without missing someone.

Snoop around for a few days and then, when you are ready, sign up for the Private Forum. You will not regret it one bit.

All the best, hope to see you around.

The best thing about interbank is micromini's.
Makes a $500 dollar account trade like a $50,000 dollar account.
You can apply the same strategies.!!
Zen you are on the right track -- but not quite. In the forum I cover asymetrical leverage in great detail and you might be surprised to discover that a 500.00 account is too small for 1000.00 position sizes, which is what a micro-mini is, and that you'll need to use a mm like Oanda (smaller increments for position size) to sufficiently overcome the effects of A/L. To use 1000.00 position sizes I'd suggest an ABSOLUTE minimum of 1000.00 account and even 2000.00 is better with 1000.00 position increments. Drop down to position sizes of no greater than 500.00 for a 500.00 account and you'll make more money faster with most types of money mgt.

hello, the cost of the forum went up from 99 to 129 on april 10. everyone prior to that date is grandfathered in. we started in late december. we would be honored to have you with us. i think most will say 129 is a pretty good deal.

  • Jun 2, 2006 6:14am Jun 2, 2006 6:14am
Cool That's great! I'm sure its a great deal. $129 is nothing if your're really dedicated. You stand to lose much more if you don't learn properly. There are tons of training programs out there claiming to be god without any reputable criticism like this entire forum.

Thanks James16!

I signed to Forum somewhere in February. After that I read some James and Vegas posts in free section and their posts amazed me. I felt lucky. And when they posted that from April subscription cost will be encreased to $129, I signed immidiately. So far I'm happy with my investment. The only problem right now - James Systems education section (Price Action, Base150, Base365) suddenly disappear when I started trading it in my demo account and was almoust ready to open live mini account ($500). This section, alone, worth subscription price.

I'm Systems Administrator (or Network administrator ), so I know what can happens. From my poin of view, it should be possible to setup mirror of production forum for testing updates and developers experiments (I have to support couple websites and, unfortunately, cannot convince my Boss and his developers to use development version of website, not production).

I just wanted to say that the money itself -for me- is quite a lot too. Not that I don't earn substantial (for my country/type of job/etc), but there are a lot of bills to be paid as well.

But I did join, and for several reasons (made quite some posts about this in other threads). And I will remain in the PF even though I could download it all and get out of the deal.

Why? Because it is an ongoing thing. It isn't a "here's the book/a strategy/etc, now study", it is a growing process. There is interaction.. And because there is SO MUCH I still have to learn.

Also, I enjoy the mentality a lot to.

And if I was to worry about the money. I had been losing consistantly (again) before I joined the PF. 3d week in a row now that I can report profit. I was at 2.7K of an initial 3K when I joined, now at 3.25K. I had some bad trades this week, but made them all up without going nuts, risking to much, getting scared etc. Sure 0.55K on 3K might not be fenomenal to some, but for me it is huge. 20.3% gain compared to the 2.7K 3 weeks ago.

The priceaction stuff is certainly worth the 129$ and more. The sundial stuff is worth the 129$ and more. The riskmanagement threads are certainly imho worth the 129$ and more. The psychology threads are certainly worth the 129$ and a lot more. (BTW, tis is my personal view, others might think otherwise or value one part more than the other).

I even had a debate today with my girlfriend. She was asking "why keep joining if you just can download it? Why not join again in 2 or 3 months and catch up or something. It isn't like we have money to waste", but I am determined to stay. If learning without a teacher was so easy we'd all be professors or docs imho. (disclaimer: some things are, but that are perfectly bordered-in things. Trading is something with vague borders, not black/white but gray. Psychology is too. Strategies that are being tweaked fall into that category too)

If somebody was to think this is a scam/not worth the money, then you could ask why people would then stay longer than 1 month!

L.A.

PS: I did learn a lot form the rest of the FF too, I am not claiming it is solely thanks to the PF, but for me the mentality/psychology and riskmanagement compared to the extra indicators with priceaction really made the change. That tipped the scales for me.

well after seeing my entire section go awol this flat made my day. dude when the time comes to take a break you let me know and you will get a free month. merlin will tell anyone that asks that during the building stage my biggest concern was giving flat out the most i could for the money. i think i used the term ridiculous amount of material for the money. i told merlin i dont want even one person saying "oh man its just like all the rest just a money grab".

merlin told me dude you are being to hard on yourself you cant possibly satisfy everyone so quit trying. well you know what? in 6 months and over 600 recurring or new subscriptions i have had 1 (yes thats right) request for a refund and that was from a person who said its just over my head. i have not had 1 negative email nor 1 negative post on either the public side or inside the private forum. i think thats pretty incredible. i care about people and i care about the life after this one, thats what drove me when i was putting together the team, the material and the plans for the future. i appreciate your post more than you will ever know.
