Day 2 with Roger, well sort of.

Got an email that Friday was Basic Training day in the room. Logged in thinking I would learn about the basic chart setups and what I was to be looking for in all those indicators.  After a while of listening and watching I realized what I was listening to and seeing was two computer geeks giddy over a auto trade system that they have been working on and coding. So as while the rest of us watched they spent most of the time looking and tweaking out what signals worked  or not. It was like watching Steve Jobs talk about the inner workings of his laptop.To make matter worse In order to follow along I had to continually use my arrow keys to slide the view screen back and forth and up and down. Having watched ES for the last year slowly move around I am used to being patient and being bored. But that was one of the more boring moments in my trading. I would love to see how the other (students) thought. But as I remember from the trial before. most seem to remain silent. So while we are encouraged to ask questions I don't see the (teachers) being quiet enough to get a question in other wise. In all fairness I keep hearing that you have to be in the room awhile to really see what is happening. What I am thinking  is that I am in a room where a bunch of guys are bored, and find more of a charge at indicator/system design than actually making money.

My gut is telling me that Roger is a successful trader ( as I have watched him trade many times) and got bored ,hired some programmer's to create indicators that have created this huge package that he now has to sell for a chunk of change. I also feel that Roger tends to stick with more of the basic simpler stuff. But when he is bored he encourages his programmer posse to write code for some other way to interpret a price that can only go up or down. I am going to suggest that he have or start a beginner class were those who want to just learn a simple few chart set ups and trade the same way day after day. And let those who are holy grail seekers to have their own room. I can tell from just two days that I want no part of the auto indicator posse.I am not opposed to using a auto trading system. What I find annoying is being in a supposed BASIC trading room watching a couple guys tweak the system while paying students watch. So I admit it I am annoyed. my time is valuable.  I wanted to scream I was so bored.  Maybe day 3 will be better.

Emailed Beverly, asked her if she was as bored as me.  That lady must be a SAINT. She thinks a couple chats with Roger will help clear things better.  I need to decide if I am going to waste Rogers time or maybe mentally I just don't want to pitch out the $7000 it will cost me to learn in a room with indicator freaks.
