There was talk in a couple of forums that one trader using the MAX system taught by an old guy calling himself Tiger made more than 260,000 pips trading the forex in 2008. Has anyone here have experience or heard of it?

At those forums, a couple of trainees reported huge profits using it, but a few also said they couldn't make it work, but those ones were immediately BANNED from the forums.

We are hoping to hear some independent views about it here.

I started the training last night. A gruff non-nonsense codger, but appears to know what he is talking about :clap: support by some very loyal graduates (repeat students) - who assist with a professional support level. Requires considerable personal study and "homework" - which will be publicly graded - not for the faint of heart. :(
I'm looking forward to the experience as well as the results. Will keep you posted.

I am a graduate of the recent February course.

I am not one of those members who has been banned. At least yet.

Jim has never claimed the aforementioned success, that is reported as the results of one of the students.

The method requires considerable subjective judgment. While marketed as a "mechanical" system, it is not.
You will need to monitor the European and US sessions closely, and watch each bar as it closes. You can't set a trade and walk away. Some trades may last 24 hours.

While there are close to 300 graduates, I have seen very few reports of success, and I am a member of the graduates' forum.

Jim ("Tiger") has never submitted objective evidence of his own trades.
All of his trading experience is anecdotal.

He is intolerant of suggestions and woe unto you if you disagree with him or any of the senior forum members.
He uses the forum as a bully pulpit for his own social and political views, your views on these subjects are welcome as long as you agree with him.

It is not a place for independent thinkers.

I do not trade the method.
 
Tiger Max Course

I have had a couple of questions about the Tiger Max course, so here goes:

?How is the tiger max system course ?
Worth the effort and money ?
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks.

Answer:
It has given me a different way of looking at the market movements; so I do think it is worth the time/money.
Tiger is not a great teacher, so it demands a lot from you as a student to figure out what he is talking about and put up with a lot of extraneous comments. There are a number of experienced, loyal, former students taking the class over, that are very willing to assist and explain.

As a part of the course, he provides videos of lessons that you can download and review; also he asks students to submit "homework" which is commented on by Tiger or his experienced students. Each student's home and comments is available to the entire group. That is unique, in my experience, and can be humbling, but is a great learning tool.

He also provides the indicators progressively during the course.

Again, the course demands a lot of time from the students - extensive review of charts (he call it 'Scrolling') to familiarizes yourself with what his setup's and trades look like- so as to be ready to recognize them in real time. I have decided to spend another month reviewing the material before deciding whether to re-take the course.

Downside - It is a real time trading system - you have to be able to watch the charts and take action immediately - that does not suit my schedule much right now. When I have been able to do it - It does seem to work well (demo accounts at this time).

Hope that helps.
 
Tiger Max Course - Part 2

? Question:

Thank you for the reply. As currently I only saw few success reported....and those who success had repeat the course for multiple times......
I really don't know why need to repeat the course for multiple times since the video was recorded.

Do you be able to get help or ask questions after the course ? Will tiger help after the course ? Or you need to re-attend the course in order to get help ?
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks.

Response:

For each new course Tiger sets up new Group for everyone enrolled (new students and repeats) which is how homework is exchanged and anyone can ask questions pertinent to the course.

After the course is over, you are invited to join a different Group of MAX Graduates, in which you can continue to ask questions and get responses from Tiger, and also (or mostly) from the experienced students who are very generous with their time in answering questions and expanding on the concepts - (to some extent - Tiger is very strict that group discussions be focused on the "MAX concepts" )

So you can continue to received help after the course is over, without retaking.

As to retakes being necessary - While there is some organization to the course, It appears that he may not explain everything in every class session. I don't think it is intentional, just a reflection of his "off the cuff" style of teaching. The Videos have the same issue. (this is by comparing the video (which is from a previous class session) to my notes of the current class).

The "grads" attending the course do try (very gently) to inject relevant questions that bring Tiger back to the material at hand, but the repeats may be necessary to ensure you have "all" the revealed wisdom as well as to help those people who are not used to being a student, again.

He gets distracted easily - answering the telephone during a live class - commenting about his local weather, health, etc. so don't expect a professional presentation - this is a guy with a lot of experienced that has worked out a consistent and successful methodology - but not experienced as a teacher.

The students talk about "getting it" after some repeats - I believe I "got it" the first time. - buy I may consider a retake after I spend more time absorbing the material.

Also it appears that Tiger does add material to the course, over the various class sessions and may explain things in a little different way; Many "grads" seem to want to re-attend both to clarify their understanding and to receive these additional "pearls of wisdom" as he adds them to the class.

I mean that literally, since many of the grads appear to hold Tiger in great reverence.

He is getting along in age and experiencing some health problems. It is not clear that he will be able to continue teaching for an indefinite number of classes.

He does provide the indicators and templates he finds useful (in ex4 format), - Some of the indicators are commonly available and simply renamed, some were new to me but if you look at their behavior - it's isn't too difficult to figure them out.

If you enroll, you have to take Tiger like he is; and hope to get enough out of his 'unique' style of teaching that it works for you.

As they say in the Max theme song (I'm not kidding) - its not difficult, but you do have to try - and trying means, reviewing the material applied to the charts over and over - until you see the method he is trying to present.

So to get your money/time worth out of the course you do have to commit to doing your part to dig out the meaning from the presentation - and you have to take Tiger as he is.
He does have some ridiculous comments and certain ridiculous names - and he keeps repeating statements that are absolutely and glaringly wrong - but don't let that idiosyncratic behavior distract from the content (although that part was hard for me)

Hope the reply helps. I would recommend the course - not for the indicators, but for a different way of looking at the price movement of the market - and a different way of finding trade opportunities.
 
interesting i would like to hear more feedback.

have you started trading consistantly using the method
and making pips

I agree, very interesting indeed....am also currently looking into it, after receiving an excellent referral from a colleague who's been trading it for well over a year. She's a real forex guru with years of experience. I quote her words "It's the most profitable manual system I've ever learned. However, it is simple but not easy." - she insists it's THE BEST manual trading system she has ever come across in her years of trading.

The system has also received very good reviews at another trading site here:

I suspect the "not easy" aspect is because, like most things that really work well - it's counter intuitive.

This is just my opinion though.:rolleyes:

I can't believe some of the posters above are complaining about having to do 'homework' and work hard to learn the system!(n) Really, what do you expect?

Do you really expect a system that has the potential to earn you more than top doctors, lawyers, accountants and scientists, with less hours worked and in less time, TO REQUIRE NO WORK OR EFFORT ON YOUR PART???????:eek:

Duuuuuhhhhhh! Give me a massive!!!!:)

Seguna,

Those reviews over at Forex Peace Army sound really amazing.

I would suggest asking your colleague if you could watch her trade the system, that way you could actually see it in action. a picture says a thousand words:)

anybody know how to contact the reviewers at Forex Peace Army ???
there is one reviewer from my country who posted a review

You'll need to join FPA as a forum member. You can then contact the reviewers directly on a member to member basis.

FPA has a pretty good reputation in the online forex world as a scam buster so it should prove helpful in your research.
 
Yes I have some experience. It's actually an amazing trend anticipation and trend following system. There are also some reversal play strategies involved which can help in choppy or ranging areas of the market. There's also some clever and quite powerful money management techniques they use. If you can put in the time and effort to learn it, you won't regret it.

However, the reason I did not move forward with it was due to budget. When I learned it, I thought I would get a series of lessons in the first month and then some free ongoing support after that. Unfortunately, whilst I got the month's training initially (8 2hour lessons @ two lessons per week), and whilst there is free support available, there was a lot of push to get people onto more costly advanced courses and paid for additional training etc and I found this distasteful.

This may not be true but I began to get the feel that what had initially been offered in the initial training modules was not a complete system.

Personally, I always prefer a model where I know what I am getting and what I have to pay for it up front. That way, I can make a fully informed as to whether the deal works for me or not. I don't like surprises that mean I have to spend much more to get what I thought I'd already paid for.

Having said that, it is run and developed by traders thankfully not just course vendors so the methodology certainly works across most timeframes. Something like 80+% signal probability.
 
which course did you take

max lite or
max standard

what was the cost

thanks

That's my point, when I did it last year, there was no lite or standard. It was just MAX and I think I paid $495 for that course or maybe $595.

It was shortly after this that things were broken into lite, standard and advanced etc and then there were these monthly refresher courses which also had a cost of $195/$250 - something like that. It was at that point I decided I did not wish to go forward. :-0

However, I feel that if anyone has a budget of $2 - $3,000 just for training and some further capital to fund their trading account, then MAX offers a legitimate trading system and methodology which you can adapt to suit your style. :)

With 260,000 pips winnings you could be a multi billionnaire quite quickly. That is over 1000 per day, which is non-sensical.
 
Is it intended to provide the same signals across all timeframes?

I also understand the Tiger is no more and it's now hos grads who are taking the courses forwards. Given the comments above that may make the course a little easier to follow. BUt I would expect there to be hard work involved before one would become proficient

Forget 260,000 pips!!! Doesn't really matter does it? All you need is a system that's profitable and that suits your personality and time available to trade. Once you have that, the task is then to build the skill of executing it consistently and profitably and take it from there.

If you, you will make money. If you focus on a niche area and specialise in a mthod and a few markets, you will make even more money! This is how all achievement works - not just trading.

To be honest, the way the MAX system works, which allows you to add to trades on pullbacks in a strong trend, 260000 pips (in a year of trading) is actually not impossible when you add the pips together for each additional trade you take in any one direction. However it is only for someone who trades very very diligently and knows the system and the pairs they like to trade inside out using MAX's trade compounding.

IMHO

However, I've certainly never heard of it being achieved by anyone...yet.
 
seguna do u use the MAX system?
