John Piper's Trading Protege Course.

Yes, you have a point. I read his first book and there were some points in it that I use, even now. Everyone knows something. don't they? He has always associated himself with Berkeley Futures but, if he is a successful trader, I would have thought that that he would be a loner.

I liked John Piper's book "The Way to Trade" so much that I turned it into an audio book
with Cepstral voices, speeded it up to 1200 WPM and played in the car for several weeks.

The only other book I've gone to those lengths with is Jankovsky's 'Trading Rules That Work.'

You seem technologically superior to me! :eek:

I could not get into the chapters on self analysis and that brain zone stuff, but those on his trading style were very interesting, I thought.

JP's admin staff said he would ring me back three days ago but not heard anything. My guess is that they perhaps realised that I wasnt a total novice. Might give them another nudge.

I got that letter too, and was intrigued by the content. This is not like me at all, as I would also normally put the name and address section in the shredder and the rest in the recyling. I emailed him with some questions and have yet to get a reply.

I shredded it today.

Well I considered John Piper as something on par as a trusted uncle . He seemed, years ago ,to at last be a Brit writing on futures that suggested to readers of the United Kingdom that he was offering "somethin a little bit more sophisticated than an hot dog, know what I mean ?"

Looks like John has come to the conclusion that teaching suckers is better than losing on the markets,

Disappointed.

Split,

"teaching suckers is better than losing on the markets".

Excellent. Well put, Sir. Would make a good caption for a t-shirt.

The dog has a deep hatered of the postman even tearing a bit off his nice uniform once...anyway since she is now limited to snarling at him through the letter box and attacking whatever comes through the door I was very happy to let her shred that one!...total waste of time.

yah, and to be honest I dont know fully what he dishes out for the the couple of grand but his webpage is certainly out there shall we say, roll up, roll up.... etc mm I did think perhaps better if people buy his binary book maybe being touted as a freebie on the site with the course, that should have all the binary punting options for a fraction of the price.? seems a sensible way to approach it .


He does offer to anyone if your not happy by 11 A.M. with what he's said so far on the day, you will be entitled to a full refund. I expect he might be popping to the loo around 10.45 AM for a while...... (y)
 
I think you’ll find that the ‘11am Refund’ business is all pretty much standard sales letter patter. Once the room is full of punters the first 90 minutes or so is generally taken up with cleverly constructed examples and demonstrations of how much money could be made if certain binary bets were traded successfully. Assuming a 9.30am start, the first 90 minutes then effectively becomes a further extension of the sales letter with nice charts of where you would have bought and sold etc along with a few carefully chosen account statements from a number of winning days (which I should add would happen even if you tossed a coin). One question that people might like to ask at this point is why they aren’t allowed to see a whole ream of account statements relating to how successful the method is?? After all the sales letter does specify that John Piper is ‘The Uk’s No1 Binary Trader’. Of course this could well be just an over hyped claim dreamt up by the sales letter writer.

Interestingly, from a legal perspective, I think that they have left themselves open to clients claiming refunds even if they don’t exercise their right to do so at or before 11am.
The claims that are made in the sales letter are, in my opinion, staggering. The letter even acknowledges this fact stating that city professionals would be amazed by the results of following the courses teachings.
The 11am refund window does not invalidate other consumer rights. This means that the course must reasonably provide the service which is claimed. In this case it seems to claim that it can turn someone who knows little about the markets into someone who should be able to make £1m+ per year from trading financial binary bets. That is one hell of a claim!
This is effectively a ‘Business In A Box’ type scenario. If the client follows the system and is not successful as a result a claim for a refund would be hard to refute by the person selling the course. In some cases damages could also be claimed especially if capital is lost.

If you read some of the ‘small business’ and ‘business opportunity’ forums and websites you will find that these types of claims against ‘snake oil salesmen’ are growing quickly. The internet allows an easy way for genuinely ripped of consumers to compare and exchange notes. In most cases that I have followed or given advice on the client has won easily and settlement is almost always ‘out of court’. In some cases there is a ‘gagging order’ but people still share information anonymously.

I notice now that the sales letter has been taken down and it is claimed that the course is sold out.

Reminds me of that tale where a scammer is teaching a new man the ropes. The new guy is very impressed with the amount of money coming in and asks, "what if someone complains?" The scammer says "Send him back his money at once, of course!"
 
Split,

Well, AIG hasn't turned out very well but his record isn't too bad.
