Actually Jack is no longer with Amplify, tight daily limits finally got to him too. As someone who's done the Amplify course but for reasons of learning macro-economic side of things, I can tell you that if you're a complete newbie, Amplify might help to teach you the basics if you've got 4k to burn. Although whatever they teach trading-wise is readily available on babypips.com
Having said that, Amplify are a training company, not a trading company. In my opinion TopStep Trader offers much better education through your own self-discipline and combines. Shame they stopped doing the Hoags market profile lab.
Oh and btw, I've been trading for 5 years and guess what, I live an extremely comfortable life. Is it a hard job? Yes, but some days are easier than others. Do I consider myself rich? Moderately rich, yes.
Can you make a load of cash? Yes, by learning how to properly analyse markets and fine-tune the probability math through examining your weaknesses, both mathematically and psychologically. And possibly learning to stay away from intraday trading until you learn to swing trade.
When you finally figure out your way of trading, this is the easiest way to make cash. Period.
If you're emotionally weak and easily wound-up, this job isn't for you. Just as a concert pianist doesn't become a concert pianist in 3 months, likewise you won't become the best trader in the world in 3 months.
Amplify is what it is, a training company like many others, but ultimately they're a tiny fish in the pond and they don't have enough margin to fund anyone for more than $1000k risk. That's after they take your £4k for training. So really, it's a win/win situation for them.
Also in my opinion the only person who knows what they're talking about in there is Piers, he's got a very good grasp on fundamentals. But again, struggles with consolidating technicals with his fundamental views.
In case you're wondering why this is, it's because both him and Will made their money trading the spreads - which was a junior position back in the days of open outcry.
When I brought up market profile, which is what I wanted to learn, neither knew what I meant.
