Yes,he probably learned from others as well, but this is his reference.
It's not that they explain it in a bad way, they're just all over the place... it's a bit like ICT really, but in a more refined and (much) simplified way, they teach you the basics and then it's your job to figure out how to put it all together... and each of their mentors trade in different way apparently.
Hmm... what do you mean by "bad" delivery?
Honestly, I find that most of these new SMC course sellers (lol) did a pretty good job narrowing down these methods. If you look at Wyckoff, Elliot Waves and Supply and Demand courses, their delivery is way worse. The only thing that compares would be retail Support and Resistance, but that is because in most cases they are straight up scams.
Either way, Flipping Markets has a PDF where he explains his whole strategy, but I'm guessing you're more interested in the live sessions though... Have you tried Precision Markets? He's not a student of Fractal Markets, but they studied together.
Awesome, I'm glad that you found your edge! And yes, that's a great idea. Most of these guys also learned it for free from these leaked courses, that's why they all coincidentally started remaking their courses at the same time and using the same terms (Inducements, CHoCH - Mr. Wyckoff says hello, lol). Have you noticed how they don't even finish their courses? They just keep very slowly updating the sections over the course of months, dragging it as much as they can so that people keep renewing their membership subscriptions.
They're always looking for the next big thing, just wait until they find out about Malaysian SnR... you will see how quickly they all will switch their strategies and start trashing SMC traders to sell their courses.
I agree to some extend, everyone can make a course. Anyone is profitable in hindsight and calling "potential levels" is not enough either.
But if you are an actual MENTOR and not just a course/illusion seller, who trades live and manages his trades live, who does 1 on 1, wouldn't it be fair to charge for your time?
