bankroll Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I think Mike Baghdady is just so much way ahead of the curve. He does not complicate things much: "Momentum precedes price." and that's it. Honestly, I got a little sick of all the other trainings lately. The only drawback is that the only way to learn from him is pay $5000 for 5 days and see him live in London. You can see some introductory videos from him here on the right side: http://www.trainingtraders.com/ but it was not enough for me to grasp his whole method. So my basic question is do you know of any similar style alternative course as good as Mike Baghdady's or maybe even better? Obviously I just can't be informed about all the courses out there so that's why I ask. Quote
hermanhess Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Bankroll, Before you decide about him you need to hear both sides of the story, if you search the internet you'll find articles by people who claim he had another name and went bankrupt in the US before relocating to London. As far him wiinning the 2009 trading competion, it was a 3 hour competiton with limited participants. Initially i too was impressed but when I checked his story out and personally i found too many loopholes, personally i wouldn't pay him a dime .... but thats just me. anton1713006147, hermes, coffee99 and 4 others 7 Quote
bankroll Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for the info hermanhess! Maybe you can provide me some good links you have found so far? The thing is that from the introductory videos I like his trading style! So then from who else to learn this style of trading if not from him? Quote
soundfx Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Hi bankroll, Check out this link, there are plenty of Mike Baghdady course videos in there :) http://www.4shared.com/dir/0uLUBO-g/sharing.html It's probably worth mirroring these if anyone has time.

bankroll Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 Hermanhess, OK I found out about this: http://www.freecourtdockets.com/docketsummaries/Mahmoud-Baghdady-1-10-bk-45547-New-York-Eastern-Bankruptcy-Court-Docket-Case-Summary-14581.htm But honestly It's not that interesting or disappointing for me. Who didn't blew up accounts when he began? (Actually me but that's not that important again :P) Yea, he plays with big money, perhaps with other people's money but then what? The way to see the story is this: if I think his style of trading as he teaches it in 2011 (or 2009 as in soundfx's videos) is profitable, works for me then I don't see and cause I shouldn't use it with my cautious money management. But I am always open for better options, guys to learn from rather - in this trading style - and so on. Quote
Diesel 10 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Regardless of his past, Baghdady's approach to investing makes a lot of sense to me... Quote

Well as for an alternative I've found for me S@m Seiden's approach to have a definitive edge. You can check out his webinars at fxstreet. He doesnt disclose everything of course ... i think the odds enhancers are discussed only at his seminars but the method still works and after watching the webinars you could figure out most of the odds enhancers anyway.

soundfx Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Guys, Check out these videos which I was first alerted to by Gyverd: http://www.forexforprofits.com/blog/?p=25 http://www.forexforprofits.com/blog/?p=1 This guy describes some aspects of price action in a very simple easy to understand way.

bankroll Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Posted May 1, 2011 yes ..... you're quite correct ...... absolutely its a personal preference I suppose.

Thanks for the recommendation on Sam Seiden! However, it seems he just has unlimited courses on FXstreet.com. So perhaps you could point me to for example "see this and this and this from Sam" which equals a complete course from him? Quote
bankroll Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Posted May 1, 2011 An interesting addition on Mike Baghdady's bankruptcy. Comment #5 from Bill: http://blogs.fxstreet.com/francesc/2010/10/29/mike-baghdadys-turtle-trader-project-the-real-apprentice/#comment-161856 I am not here to judge - just to show another side of an argument.
