Review of FTSEDay.com

So, I've been in the FTSEDay room as well and I have since left the service despite persevering for many months the excuses the vendor gives on a daily basis why he won't be taking any trades.

Service Review - your assessment is spot on.

The vendor himself DOES NOT TRADE FULL TIME and holds a day job - that in itself is sacrilegious!

He has little knowledge about trading and quite often appears to be scared of the market jumping out of trades for break-even or 1-2 point losses. He does not have control over what he is doing and his understanding of the market is extremely poor. More often than not, he will call trades retrospectively and his market review videos are all in retrospect and is effectively useless in a live trading situation.

In the room, one does not even know if the vendor is taking trades himself as you do not see any evidence of trades taken - not even a trade history page is shared. When he is live in the room, most of the time is spent with him having a go at people who he says "does not get what he does!"

Although he encourages starting small and risking more with a small account - it just feels like death by a thousand cuts as your account leaks 1 to 10 point losses and the wins feel like I just been lucky that time.

What did it for me was really how unprofessional he is in running a paid service. Persistently not being live on the mic (i.e. not showing up to work), countless of excuses why he is not trading, and basically really poor trading performance should have everyone asking for a refund.

He claims to know how to trade like a pro declaring how he knows what the pro traders do in the City - but that is far from the truth. At no point is the vendor was a pro trader and I doubt he knows any pro traders at all. That, to me, is misleading and misrepresentation.

Why would anyone pay £80 a month for this insanity??!



I really am NOT trying to make a case for FTSEDay, as I say they are probably a long way from perfect, but reading this, why persevere for "many months" if they're that mad? Same goes for anyone using trading rooms, does it really take that long to find they're unprofessional/ sacrilegious/ expensive/ scared/ misleading/ insane?

If anyone is crazy enough after reading this thread to think of joining a trading room, (and why would you when you can lose your life savings trading by yourself anyway), give whatever organisation it is a call or email and ask if you can have a trial day or week, that ought to be enough for anyone with half a brain to see if they like its modus operandi. Yes, and if they won't then don't.
 
Just thought I would add my input here but before i do

1)I'm impartial and have only experienced the services supplied by them
2)I'm a current member but will be leaving soon as I feel I have run my course with it however, I feel it has defitnatley added a string to my bow, and dont consider the subscription expensive (personally)
3) Not ineterested in anyone who wants to ppull my grammer apart or tell me i work at FTSEDay ( I don't) ppull was intended lol


My story,

I joined at the inception of FTSEDay trading room, I liked the simplicity of the set ups and the simple fact is they do give you an edge (I believe) in that i believe if you trade enough of the setups consistently you will come out on top. For sure there will be loosers but as long as theres more winners then thats a good enough edge for me. (I think many misunderstand this) House edge is what makes the roulette a wheel a winner for casinos, slightly tip the odds in you favour and you have a possitive outcome on the balance of probability, simples!! I personally did well although I adapted the set ups to suit me a little more, but isnt that why we do these things to develop as individuals. I did as was guided and started with a small pot £200 (which is one of the benefits of trading like this) walking into this room after having a bit of bad run this was a breath of fresh air having blown a nice size pot into tiny pieces previously, and based on the setups and entry points I got the pot to £3000 not to shabby I think. Most of all the money management and discipline turned me once again into consistently winning. I found Mike to be a helpful chap, I like him. He doesnt pretend to be the most technical trader , but somtimes I dont think thats a bad thing either.

Now for the negatives:
The setups sometimes can be few and far between requiring discipline to wait and where I belive many fail. This means waiting around for trades rather than going out and attacking the market on a minute by minute basis, and a little too slow for me to be honest. Also I think Mike should be a bit more open about his trades realtime, and also come clean on losses as this I think would give it all more credit, NO ONES so good that they dont take losses as in all the time I was there I dont remember many lossing trades placed by Mike (sorry Mike) Also Mike seemed to be around alot at night when the action was less and not enough when he was needed but maybe that has changed now as I havent been in the room for a few weeks, and I also personally found the room a bit of a pain with often too many opinions around that would undermine trades once entered not Mike I might add.

Overall though a positive experience for which I'm happy with what it cost me and what I learned. But now time for me to spread my wings. Just felt it necessary to post my comments and balance the argument a little. As ever each to there own. But i think you could do far worse than to spend a bit of time there, and if you've been loosing hand over fist, go and learn something about money management, although in my case not with such tight stops as Mike employs, but again thats personall choice.

Any way be lucky all.

Fair enough point.

Also Mike seemed to be around alot at night when the action was less and not enough when he was needed but maybe that has changed now as I havent been in the room for a few weeks, and I also personally found the room a bit of a pain with often too many opinions around that would undermine trades once entered not Mike I might add.

Didn't someone else who signed up post here that mike had a day job? If so, how did mike find the time to 'trade enough of the set ups consistently'? And if he didn't find the time, why didn't he if he/the strategy is so good?

The fact that he doesn't admit his losses suggests he's got something to hide. Which sounds a bit dodge.

Obv I haven't any experience of them so will keep an open mind, but thought was good to query this possible contradiction. Then again it cld just be down to money management...but how is this taught by someone? Do you know what the strike rate and rr is for this strategy (for your results)?

I personally, once I had learnt the set ups found it better to go it alone, so i wasnt waiting on Mike to call them for me. Its definatly not a perfect system I dont think there is one. You only need 51% winners to 49% loosers but I would suggest that the set ups are higher than that, at what percentage i dont know. Sometimes they felt almost 90% then others i would put them at somewhere around 50% not much help. But honest :D

don't you take a record of the trades to work out the stats?.... this would help you to know those things, and to improve the method itself by reviewing the record, no matter if it is better or worst strategy.....
If you have not one it when you were in there, I recommend you to do it now that you are flying solo, you will find it very helpful
:)

New member with only 2 posts defending ftseday....... ERRRRRRRRRRRRR.

GO AWAY.
 
Like i said D70! i have nothing to do with them,

I have my own compnay, not interested in running a subscriber sight or helping anyone, and trade only part time. So disappear yourself. I think my reply was fair and both sided. I have also been a member here on t2W for over a year, just never had cause to post. Sorry if this troubles you, I like reading (I recommend it!)

I won't defend my position again, i have no need.

Oh dear Mike, you have been rumbled. You would have been better off just completely ignoring this thread entirely rather than impersonating an ex-member trying to offer a two sided argument.

Unfortunately what gives the game away is your style of writing - its in exactly the same tone as your daily emails including exactly the same spelling mistakes - loose instead of lose for one. I can copy and paste some here if anyone is any doubt.

My estimation of you has gone from "decent guy with misguided approach to teaching trading" to something altogether far worse.

'Prerequisite' is one word, not two.
 
For a legendary member, your posts are idiotic. Grow up

Sorry. It's probably explained by the fact that I'm not actually a legendary member. That's just an honorary title they give me because I have a legendary member.

I'll bear in mind what you say for future posts.
