    Lightning McQueen: Fair enough re the search function. I should state that Dante and also Bison as his star student were mentioned to me via email by a friend who has been a T2W member for some time. However, I hasten to add and strongly emphasize that my friend did not know sufficient people...

    Some cynicism is healthy. I would however like to point out a few things: I've been browsing through this forum (my preferred forum is not this one) for a couple weeks before I joined. Are you aware it is possible to read the threads as a guest - unless you think everyone joins T2W...

    Some great points in your post. For me, a mentor can only be a stage in the journey. It doesn't mean you'll make it. Your comment about institutional traders is very well taken. Many of those who are trained do NOT make it and therefore, as you put it, their punishment is "more official." The...

    Thanks for your excellent post Tim! I am very much aware that an excellent trader does not necessarily make a great mentor for the reasons you ably describe. It could often be the case that a mentor has developed what works for him but that his student cannot adapt to that trading style or has a...

    Excellent post. You portray very well several well known newbie traits and the bottom line that even with the best mentoring it all boils down to the newbie's attitude. Indeed, by way of analogy, some graduate with first class degrees in science but would never make it as doctors because they...

    There was one reply. I sent a PM to that poster. Perhaps the others will respond in due course. Perhaps also they are more focused on trading than trolling and don't spend anywhere as much time posting? But if you have seen complaints about Dante and Bison perhaps you will share the links to...

    Thanks for the Bison link tripletrade. It seems to me to be a genuine Interactive Brokers statement re Bison. Interstingly, he tried to blot out his name but the letters Ch are still evident in the surname on the statement and Bison's surname begins with Ch. Moreover I can see numerous forex and...

    Yes. And full-time trolls will pretend to be successful traders dispensing advice because they can't really make a living as traders or post their actual statements like Bison can -;(

    Pazienza. Has it occurred to you that perhaps a successful trader MIGHT actually enjoy teaching? Yikes! Do you think members of Trader_Dante's live room are paying him a monthly fee so they can lose money? Why would they stay unless their gains make it worthwhile?

    I have done my research. Again, you did NOT read my post. I ruled out Richard Joyson and I doubt Alan Rich would be very helpful in a one day session (my understanding is that Trader_Dante's sessions last for three months) for forex but he still might be. However, you miss the point completely...

    You guys are all a waste of time. I will check in from time to time to see if any former students of Trader_Dante or the other people I specifically mentioned reply to my post. As I said, since none of you appear to fit in this category I do not care for your replies.

    To reiterate for those who don't take the time to read posts and therefore rush to post before reading carefully (if I was as sure as you suggest, pboyles, I would not have asked the following: "Can any former students of the above traders give me a heads up re how well they have been doing...

    I find it hard to believe the nonsense posted in this thread. Tell that to a trader who searched for a mentor, found one in either Alan Rich, Richard Joyson or several others, and is now trading successfully. Obviously some are not successful after such mentoring. But to suggest someone who is...
