Just keep in mind no one will sell a winning system. If it works they will trade it till it doesn't, then they will sell it.
Also trading is a game of losing the least amount of money, not how much you make. You can make millions but if you lose millions and end up with $5 that isn't a good trading.
Most of your trading issues will be within your head. And only you will be able to deal, fix, or overcome them.
Yes the point of trading is to gain and lose money, just have to gain more. I think im going to look into emini futures though and move away from............. pennystocks
Added note, dont think of the 100$ as payment, think of it as a donation for a good cause. Big Mike is still in the Red every month to keep this site open for us and its made a world of difference for me.
You have realistic concerns. So much of stuff shown publicly could be faked screenshots or what not. I don't have a good opinion of Sykes after having personally tried one of his "seasonal" programs, big mistake, at least they gave me a refund after much effort and where I proved my sim losses on TOS. (all the calls were losers, unless it was an intentional reverse "pump and dump"; some positions were regular longs; also very very hard to find and able to do suggested shorts on TOS; some literally little volume) And there is more stuff talked about him on elitetrader about how his organization makes money not necessarily by actual trading. Also his organization is a sponsor of investimonials.com along with Jason Carter. Investimonials used to have some real reviews now I think it's overrun by vendor fakes. Another review site is forexpeacearmy.com
story on early Sykes
You could try following some of the trading journals here to see some examples. I think Masood's new ATM(alpha trading method originally j.d. Neeman) is a good one as they are currently discussing setups using basic and free indicators , and exploring the details openly.
The tons of webinars here have some good learning info some from famous in the trading world. Learning about terminology and such, you could try one of the price action intros, i.e. Brook's, PATs keeping in mind it's just learning about day trading and not really necessarily a working method. A good book is "Mind over Markets"/"Markets in Profile" just to learn about futures markets in general. And some have developed their own systems after many years of struggle and perhaps thousands wasted on vending. Those systems are not just going to be given away etc. Trading profits(and losses) are a business with some kind of income/loss, at least recognized by the IRS.
