Â The "Trading Schools" review, just like most review sites, have their own agenda. Â They review products without ever buying them or using them in an effort to drive traffic to their website. Â The goal is to capitalize on traffic and promote their own agenda. Â Unfortunately, there is more power in a negative review than in a positive one. Â Â This allows them to get eyes on their site and then promote their own offers back to the readers or sell ad-space. We don't bother in writing into these sites or joining threads because any counter argument is met with a venomous backlash and becomes and endless he said / she said. Â Ultimately, the people on these sites are just looking for any excuse to blame a teacher or system for their failures. Â It's the "the spoon made me fat" argument. Â Rather than blame the person holding the spoon (themselves) they place blame on the system or the education. Its funny... think of the millions of people that went through 4-6 years of higher education to get a degree that are now working in low to mid range paying jobs. Â They all went through their education with the thought that it would make them high income earners. Â Now most are working in fields that have nothing to do with their degrees or education. Â Yet, they don't blame the university for their short comings. Â Some how, in this business though, the education gets blamed for the person not achieving their goals. Â If it wasn't so frustrating, I would laugh. ------------------------------ Brian Stickney ------------------------------ [Reply to Group Online]( [View Thread]( [Recommend]( [Forward]( ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 12-10-2017 21:47 From: Billy Jones Subject: [www.tradingschools.org/reviews/complete-currency-trader]( Hello, Im a novice trader who has been studying the CCT system for a few years now. I own a business in Houston Texas and have yet to have the time to apply the little I do understand unfortunately. The little time I have had in front of the market, hasnt yielded any success. I do not expect to see much success anytime soon, having yet to really get solid practice in, as I stated, however, there is a part of me that worries if I ever will achieve success. Stumbling across this "review" does make it even more difficult to have faith in the trading plan and concepts taught in the course. I have already spent a tremendous amount of money on this venture. Its the time i plan to dedicate that now concerns me. Is there anyone that can put some of my fears to bed? Is there anyone that has taken the course, applied the knowledge and tools given, and achieve a level of success worthy of mentioning? Thank you for any advice. ------------------------------ Billy Jones ------------------------------ [] [top](#toca) [previous](#m0) 2.

James is in the process of completely redesigning the Home Study Course to create a more structured learning environment. Â Based on the first couple of lessons that have been released, I think this will help our students tremendously. Â With the current method, our students get all of the information that is needed in order to be successful, but it is also like trying to drink from a firehose.... there is just so much information that it is tough to consume it. The new training method will be a very structured course that requires prerequisites to be met (with videos and tests) before moving to the next lesson. Â This way, we can ensure that the student is getting the information in a manner that is most effective and will have the best impact on his/her future success. Â It will eliminate the ability to skip around and lose focus by tackling material that is more advanced than the student is ready for. All current Home Study Members will get access to the new training toward the mid part of 2018. Â James is currently working with a small test group to get it completed and also track results toward the end of the program. ------------------------------ Brian Stickney ------------------------------ [Reply to Group Online]( [View Thread]( [Recommend]( [Forward]( ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 12-15-2017 10:59 From: Brian Stickney Subject: [www.tradingschools.org/reviews/complete-currency-trader]( Hey guys, I've been out of the office quite a bit this week, but I wanted to take a moment to address this.
