Student Testimonials

"I've just read yet another outstanding article of yours and without giving you any platitudes here, Sam, truly it really was excellent, and the same can be said for all the other articles from your team members. It is, for me, such a great support system. After speaking through matters with David, I then came on one of your 7 day training courses back in February 2009 at St. Albans. I was fairly vocal, asking far too many questions probably, so apologies about that, but I was very keen to learn. Your RBD and DBR concepts have been excellent, allowing me to still be trading full time in this business, so thank you very much for that. I've been trading my own funds as well as trading client’s money for about 4 years now and am currently looking to ramp this new client side of the business up further." David B., October 2012

"Probably the best article I've read from you, and they are all excellent and keep me focused in this learning process. Thank you!!! I’ve put 2 years plus into being a trader. I’m in XLT and Sam’s perspective and insight keep me on the right path. In fact, the best trade I have ever had was today. I put hours of thought and writing into what he had to say to examine where I’m at and what I need to become a successful trader. I’m not surprised at all that Sam won an award for his Lessons from the Pros. Seeing the stock market as the same as how I saw buying /selling of anything else in my life has been a tough challenge. I totally believed it was different - it was supposed to be different. Sam's Lessons from the Pros is superb!" Paul A., July 2011

"I was attending your webinar at FXStreet on Friday and didn't understand a thing of what you were saying. I decided to leave the webinar and watch your other videos on the FXStreet archive. Your oldest webinar about supply and demand is absolutely amazing. It opened up my eyes and made me realize why trading has been so difficult for me all this time. (I thought my trading style was so simple). That webinar alone made my spirit become more alive. My trading spirit is like reborn, with huge power. Mr. Sam, I really wanna say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You very much for being my mentor." Terima K., September 2010

"Thanks a lot for yet another great "tell it like it is" article. As always, I really enjoy reading what’s on your mind. I’ve been fiddling with a ton of indicators and theories for the last year, but have now finally come back to reality, and am just watching price action and s/d levels. Makes my day a whole lot easier! All the best." Tom S-W., August 2010

"Thanks for your very insightful thoughts on failure as necessary for success. In fact, I find all your articles very educational, inspired, and encouraging." Thomas S., July 2010

"Thank you so much for the article: "Failure is Often a Necessity for Success." I started XLT 2 months ago and began trading live the last week of June. The road has been bumpy. Yesterday I wanted to give up because I lost money and hate to lose money. I had more losing days than winning days. But your article today was very uplifting. It took me out of the pit." Josephine L., July 2010
