Well I would not say I gave up, It was more a matter of I did not want to trade that way. I did not want to rely on indicators that needed a programmer to build and keep updated or fix.
While I found Roger to be quite charming, I found the room to be boring, No one seemed to really be making money, unless they came learned and left. I did not want to be in the room day after day watching someone else trade proving that (their) charts worked. If one has not been trading long, I think this may work for you. but trading is mostly mental, and while Roger is more than willing to help at any time, I doubt if one spends $7000. that the mental side will be conquered here. There is something about the way the room is run that it feels uncomfortable to ask questions. I did learn that looking at more than one market is a good idea, and that ES is a slow mover. But I realised within myself that I could not trade the other markets live till I am able to mentally trade the slow ES.
I am not saying that Rogers method doesn't work. It does. I just don't see it for me. I would spend more time worrying that I had spent a ton of money and (needed) to make it work rather than just focusing on learning the set ups, learning to wait for then, and learning to mentally trade them right. The first learning the set ups takes about a day. the other two a life time, and I did not sense that the structure of the room was set up to help me over come those.
To be fair I think Roger has a nice chart software method, it does take alot of the noise out. and unless your color blind you can see more of the signals.
But for me what I need is to be able to trade the method I have, and mentally trade it well. For it is not the method but the mind of the man. And this man knows that he is mentally challenged when is comes to trading.
