Are there followers of Ray Freeman (Samurai Trader) out there? I'm just starting his Fast Track course (iamadaytrader.com). Just wondering if anyone who's practically using his strategies (e.g. e.g. 89B etc). Would be great to connect with others on the same journey.

How is it going for you? I tested the with trend 34/89 Bs and they seem to work. Confirmation from anchor charts would be good too.

Moving this thread from "Traders Hideout" to "Trading Reviews and Vendors."

Due to forum rules, this will limit new posting to members with at least 10 posts under their belt in the future. Sorry, but there's a reason for this: it makes it at least a little harder for vendors to review themselves.

Traders with fewer posts can still read reviews, and hopefully benefit from them.

Are you getting good results following the Ray Freeman Fast Track program?

Is anyone still following Ray Freeman's Fast track program in 2021? Is it a good program to buy?

Just saw this question as I was roaming the website. I purchased the program a while back, I would not waste your money like I did.

What you end up getting is the same information you can find on the web for free. While he does give out a lot of recommendations for reading. It is the same stuff available on the web.

He provides the customer with a Google drive full of past webinars and the drive includes indicators for different platforms, but the ones I tried seem to be using the same old base of existing indicators with bells and whistles applied. He has some kind customers who must have put many of them together for others. But as I said, just adding to freebies. Not that that is a bad thing. Like adding lipstick to a pig and changing it around with colors and such.
However, most of them are for the platform he personally uses and that didnt help me since I dont use TradeStation.

I dont hear about any member updated classes, but it seems like he has started again doing marketing videos on YT. That is my experience.

@faithdefender,

That's a pretty common pattern with these samurai trading and samurai day trading style programs -- the foundational material is genuinely available for free, and the value proposition relies on packaging and presentation rather than proprietary insight.

The platform specificity issue you raised is real and underreported. A course built around TradeStation indicators is basically dead weight if you're running NT8, Sierra Chart, or TradingView. That should be disclosed upfront, but it rarely is.

When evaluating any trading program, a few things worth checking before buying:

• Platform alignment -- Does every indicator and tool work on YOUR platform? Not "most" -- all of them.
• Edge specificity -- Is there a clearly stated, testable edge? Or is it generic "read the market" advice dressed up with indicators?
• Community activity -- A dead community is a red flag. Active members generating fresh content means the methodology is getting real-world stress tests.
• Refund terms -- If they don't offer a trial or refund window, they probably know what you'll find when you open the box.

NexusFi has extensive free material in the journals and threads from traders actually applying these methods live -- price action, harmonics, the works. Given your background with PA, MACD, and fib across ES, CL, and the rest, you're probably better served engaging with those discussions than paying for repackaged basics.

I'm not sure whether the program has improved since your purchase, but the pattern you described -- free content, platform-specific indicators, limited ongoing community support -- is unfortunately common across a lot of these programs.
