A lot of so called “Trading Gurus” claim they can teach anyone to trade profitably on a consistent basis. To the extent that any such claims of their training ability might be true; actual success by a trader requires lots of work and lots of discipline.

My opinion is that most individual traders will be much more profitable using an automatic trading system which has no emotional hangups and works 24/7 picking and executing trades. A relatively inexperienced person can lose a lot of money relying on their personal ability to analyze either subjective chart patterns or fundamentals. Getting desired executions is also a problem.

I would recommend making purchase decisions on trading systems based on actual documented profits for the systems over at least one year rather than on claimed trade calls by a “Trading Guru”. Such claims by the “Guru” often omit their bad calls and ignore executions. I found the representatives at Platinum Trading Solutions (PTS) very knowledge and customer friendly. Pegas 1, the system I purchased from them had a number of individual losing trades but produced net profits every single month.

I would recommend PTS and think the vast majority of traders will fare better utilizing one of their automatic trading systems as opposed to making their own trading decisions.
