Peter Webb videos

[PeterLe]

Yep Peter and Steve are both very decent people.
I have no problem with people selling their knowledge (and time).
I think its a fair trade; £300/400 Pounds for someone to take the time to explain the concepts.
Not sure why people feel its wrong to charge? A very good friend of mine is a painter & decorator. He recently spent the whole week decorating for me. I fully expected to pay the going rate (thats his livelihood), why is what Peter/Steve do any different?

Is this the same mugsgame that used to post on here abusing newbies asking straightforward questions? If so thats one of hell of an about face.

[Naffman]

It's just my personal opinion guys. Honestly though, whilst we are on the subject, I really think people overestimate the benefits of these training courses. If you really want to make it, you should be looking at the markets and seeing how they act, thus developing your understanding and giving you an edge. People forget that Peter had to develop his own understanding of the markets, and that is what has made him so successful today, and not following others.

Have you experienced that "maycontainnuts"? If so, he really doesn't care about newbies and "giving back".

[steven1976]

He's an honest bloke for sure. He just use to get frustrated with people asking questions like, "can someone give me a quick solution to give me an extra 1000 pound a month without sitting at the computer?"

I think I read he lost about 8 stone or something silly, so it was probably years of sat in a dark room for 20hrs a day and after making 7 digits he realised he had become a slave to money and frustrated.

We never exchanged anything, so I've nothing to defend him for but I'd love to see a few other pros post up as many videos as he does.

By the way I'm running a work shop for how to lose money in October. PW wanted loosing strategies so it could be a winner for some. Special price 299 pounds or buy 2 get one free if you want to bring the full team Peter!

[maycontainnuts]

He was very brutal on all newbies, but of course he can now welcome them with open arms.

I just read through his posts and it all sorts of makes sense now. Mentioned thinking about quitting a lot and trying to put people off but then obviously thought he would flog them some advice instead. He's sold out! Obviously the trading isn't going well any longer. Threw us a curve ball when he said he didn't want the hassle of teaching others.

I looked at some of his videos but they didn't make any sense. Didn't understand how he was trading the markets a lot the time. So I guessed they were just being done to generate interest, ends up that was the true.

during my first year of trading i had a couple of days with an established pre-race trader (i think i paid him 200 a day) - it was curiosity more than anything else that made me want to do it. anyway, it was interesting if nothing else although iirc he didn't make much over the 2 days and it included a £250 loss on a Kempton race when he doubled up on a losing lay position on the fav which was smashed in from 3/1 to 6/4 in double quick time. i've still got the vid somewhere.

Were you on the wrong end of one of Steve's verbal volleys maycontainnuts? You sound a bit bitter. All his videos make sense to me and I'm pretty sure his trading is going as well as ever. Being in the highest bracket of PC must be tough for anyone who does this for a living. Why not pass on your skills and knowledge to others? Like PeterLe says it's a fair trade.

The most worrying thing about this thread is that MG is having his integrity and professionalism questioned. Why? When has he ever criticised BA or Peter Webb? He's using different software now but if you read his blog he has used this software for years. He's also posted up videos using Geeks toy.

I for one am grateful for all the free advice he has given away over the last several years. Let's not forget that he basically did free advertising for BA with all his YouTube videos. Is education in sports trading a bad thing? There are a lot of shysters in this industry but I am certain the MG isn't one of them.

People are free to do as they please, so mugs decided he wanted to monetise his videos and website. He then took it another step further and started training courses. He now has established companies on board, so he has followed a well established internet plan for building a brand. He has done a great marketing job and i expect some who criticize are posting from an envy point of view.

However for those who are considering parting with their cash and forwarding to him or any training course i wouldn't bother.

There are enough free resources for the novice, if you trade for a certain length of time your skills will improve. "The key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours".

No training course can give you the hours needed, and your time is better spent practicing.

I am living proof of this.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with some of the comments about MG Educational on this forum. Having attended both Peters course and Steve's course, both have their merits. Peters course is a great grounding for the theory and the strategies to trading the Belfair markets and I have learnt so much from Peters material, however, theory is theory and until you put it into practice and fully understand the implications, it is simply a theory. However, I was fortunate to have had the benefit of attending Steve's Mentoring course, and the proof is in the pudding, as they say. Steve is a down to earth guy who has no axes to bare. Steve has taken me from the novice dabbler to making a consistent profit in just over twelve months. His on going mentorship is invaluable and I am on target to go full time in just over eighteen months. I think that before you crucify him, you judge him not just by his own results but by the results of his students. Steve has a strong following who have all gone through the same process as me. Steve has taught me how to interpret the markets, when and how to place a trade and more importantly how to manage a trade to its finally. I have gone from loosing money to making a consistent profit on a daily basis, which I believe should be the desire of any budding trader!!! Don't disrespect Steve just because he is a new kid on the block. He has a lot to offer and has taught me a great deal in the time that I have known him. Its not all about who has the best marketing strategy or the best website. Its about results, and Steve delivers on this one more than any. Understand that knowing how to trade is completely different from knowing the theory of trading. Steve teaches the whole process warts and all. From my perspective, Steve has given me the opportunity to go part time in my current profession, with the potential of going full time trader in the next eighteen months. There is a very famous analogy that goes something like this "you can feed a man or you can teach him to fish". This is what Steve does. So before you all jump on the band waggon and stamp him down, take a long hard look at yourselves and ask yourself why you are doing this. Do you want to be fed or do you want to learn to fish? I am one of the fortunate ones and have learnt from Steve's programme. I felt the benefits literally straight after I attended the course, and continue to feel the benefits from Steve's on going support. I know some of you wont like to hear this but a fact is a fact. Steve's course works.!! I am living proof, and I am more than happy to speak to anyone who would like to hear about my journey. I am making money and that is all that matters!!. FACT!!

I find it absolutley bizarre that Peter and Steve put up educational videos that help new and aspiring trades grasp the whole sports trading concept and some people get on their back.

I imagine Steve was probably inundated with requests for help after he started his blog and decided to do a course. Good luck to him and good luck to anyone who goes on it.

Peter exactly the same but a few years before.

I've learnt a lot from both guys videos.

[maycontainnuts]

Steve has taken me from the novice dabbler to a semi-professional trader in just over twelve months.

Interesting first ever post. Incredible that Steve has such amazing abilities, especially as he only started doing his mentoring early this year, less than twelve months ago.

TBH, the harder I look the more issues I see. But good luck to you if you can't see them. Your choice I guess.

I guess everybody wants to believe that somebody will advise them on a daily basis which button to press. Life would be so easy if that were the case. Its not. No shortcuts in this game.

Some People think there is some magical secret to trading and they are willing to pay a lot to find out what that is ,

Reality is there isnt one and most of us are doing things that you already know about, or a least you will with some basic research.

But the thing is imo 90% of trading is mental and you carnt really teach that so much, knowing what someone else does not mean you can automatically do it yourself.

think of it like a golf lesson it may give you some good pointers but it wont make you tiger woods.

Im sure some of these courses, are a very good way, but certainly not the cheapest way to learn the basics.

but take it from me the basics are the easy part,
the hard part is putting them into practise .

LOLZ at all the new accounts signing up to give glowing testimonies!!

I think the davehartley post might actually be mugs himself!

I'm wondering perhaps with his brummie tones that he might have been nicknamed Hartley at school in the 70's after Hartley the Hare from Pipkins

Just for the record, I praised aspects of his videos. I also have no issues at all with him selling courses - I just didn't like the way he went about it
