Video reviews of trades (could be done live, whilst trading using something like camtasia) could be a way around that - although they lack in 'content' meat. Thanks for the ideas Tom. Paul Yes that’s a good idea, although I think I’d find myself spending too much time on the site!

Thanks for the ideas Tom.

(I'm not sure what I'll do with the site yet, I just wanted to get it up there so Google would notice it.)

It's an often used question put to those selling 'systems' - "if your method is so good, why are you selling it?" Well the diplomatic answer might be - 1.its an added source of revenue to the seller/trader (and what's wrong with that) and 2. the more people that use a particular system, the more of a positive effect it has on the market (selffulfilling prophecy) although that latter point is unrealistic. I've no idea of the true statistics but one could safely say that yes, a majority of those sellers probably don't trade, or rather make 99% of their money from non-trading related activities. Either because creating and marketing info products takes up most of your time or because they're 'scam' artists without a clue how to trade, out to take money off those new to trading. They say a profitable trade(r) consists of 30% system and 70% discretion, so the best system in the world won't save a crap trader. I realised that after buying lots of different products and systems, all the while still losing. In the end I settled on a nice simple system (my 30%) and have traded it ever since (the other 70%.) What I learned from Joe Ross really helped me improve on both sides of that split. Ironically I agree.
