I attended the 2 week into/trial. OK, the guy is a bit eccentric, so I let that slide.

I was interested in results. Well, I did NOT use a 5min blank chart as required, I had mine loaded with Pivot Farm SR levels, Apex Trading FREE Deviation levels, Ninja Pivots and my trusty 50 EMA and had these on a 1 min and 10 min. Guess what. Yup, had him beat to it.

Now we don't know if any of the levels will hold/go passed/ chop at--that you have to see when you get there. So how does HT (as he calls himself) do it? He doesn't. He uses a "code" which are abbreviations, and when in doubt he give you two scenarios one UP and one Down crammed with these abbreviations, which can be interpreted in more than one way.

Well DUH! I guess the market WILL go up or down from where it is! My levels were accurate to 70-80% which I consider VERY good. His hit about 50% and I believe he was just rehashing what I already had access too.

The real turn offs, or questions arise from 1) he won't tell you who he is. 2) he berates ANYONE who asks a question--God forbid you have an opinion!

3) His "Moderator B" is his cheering squad, and cleverly comes in after one of HT's tirade's and says its OK we all had to learn, or some other BS.

I will say giving you 2 free weeks does keep you from making a poor decision, as long as you don't get intimidated into joining. My advice--stay away.

I encountered this ***, in one of his one week trails. If everything is on the up & up then why hide?

The name he was going by then was HT (head trader). Lot's of claims, no evidence to support his claims. STAY FAR AWAY!!!!

If it looks like a scam, feels like a scam, quacks like a scam...then guess what?! :eek

Hello!

I am writing to thank you for the time and thought you took to give whoever cares to check, the warning.

I appreciate the humor and insight you used in your post.

I just attended the free seminar this nameless ego maniac who calls himself WE (must be some looser who cant trade and his alternite super-successful ego), gives to get in fresh flies into his spider web.

The claims he makes about catching every turn made me laugh.

He says his methods are teachable - cute selling ploy.

It raised some caution in me when he refused to give his name.

Thank you so much for caring enough about other people not to be victimized by sick poppies out there.

There is a sucker born every minute.

Best wishes for you in trading,

Sincerely

the levels are just previous support/resistance levels from mulitple days sometimes(depends on where the current market price is). they just buy or sell blindly off these levels time after time. eventually one holds and moves in their favor but more often than not price shoots thru the level.

HT has the nerve to say just because a level doesn't hold, doesn't mean it's a losing trade.

It's a very abusive atmosphere in the room and I suspect that the people who stay are all suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

HT gives multiple levels of support/resistance and when it turns on one he claims he called it to the tick. (he will berate you if you ask) Anyone can do that.

I am advanced and knew his levels before he called them. He has to be using a shorter time frame chart for quick intraday calls and longer time frame to find his targets. His clean 5 minute chart is probably just so you can play along and not figure his game. I believe he deliberately hides some of his real numbers at times but eventually spills them at an opportune moment.

If he is finding his levels correctly, it is somewhat advanced but you can come to this knowledge on your own if you study persistently over time. I have watched him make some dreadful calls and knew there are some things he does not understand himself. Admittedly, it did give some amusement. His language is vague to cover his tracks when wrong.

What he does give you is a mild form of organization and someone to give you self confidence. He makes a good living from those with their lips glued to his buttocks so wake up, you can do better, people.

50 members x 300/month = $15k/mo. Not too shabby!

I agree with most of this review. Did the 2 week trial, but could make no sense of it.

The chat rooms use hotcomm,in an old version where you cannot record or keep a transcript. The only way is to do a screen capture every 30 mins or so and save an image file. Later they can be pieced together in order to review the commentary.

When you do this you realise that its all mumbo jumbo, cleverly packaged up to make you think its consistent. Stay away is my advice

He plays a mean game of internet tough guy. I'm experienced in trading and went live, ending up losing about $1,500 in less than two weeks.

Got sick of the mystery of looking for levels that don't work.

Sick of this guy. So I reported him to the CFTC. But since the CFTC is government, you can be certain that they are about as useful as the people of Ferguson and Detroit combined.

We'll see what happens. If anything.

I tried the free 2 week intro. Forget for a moment the personality of the "Head Trader" ( real name of ANYONE having something to do with this site is hidden) and just looking at what he says--its all worthless and here is why.

He gives you scenario #1 (up or down) with scenario #2 in the opposite direction.

ALL levels he gives are either standard deviations, pivots or 50 period ema--ALL OF WHICH YOU CAN GET FOR FREE ELSEWHERE.

Well if you give both directions as viable--How can you be wrong.?

Clever wording and viscous retorts to challenges keeps any discussion out of the equation.

Do yourself a favor--skip it--even the free trail total waste of time and space.

Too funny, I was in his room when this happened this morning, and observed the same thing: he was posting possible targets 61, 62, 65 just as you say, and then claims he was short 61 after the news broke. He got very misemotional when challenged if he had any money of his own in the trade, and denied it had anything to do with the news!!

And then tried to browbeat anyone who said anything about it.

Factually, only 307 contracts actually traded at 1601 . .

. go figure

In the free trial, his posts of magic numbers can be derived from previous support and resistance levels and consolidation areas.

But he doesn't show real orders and he is always magically correct on reversals. Especially ridiculous today 8/15.

He was long from 1956.50 target to 1961 >62 >65. The market dumped on the Ukraine mess right at 1961 and he claims he got short at 1961. 1961 last 2 nanoseconds.

And he is always right!

Stay away.

I think you guys, especially those who didn't make it past the two week free trial, have missed a great opportunity.

Had you done what HT had recommended, you'd see that the market does indeed use the levels that he posts, and that you don't need indicators, and you can take trades with minimal risk and maximum returns.

Okay, so he's a ***? Keep in mind that he is a trading instructor and coach, not your beer drinking buddy. So he's attempting to hide his identity? In this day and age, that's probably a good idea, regardless of what you do for a living.

I was a profitable trader prior to coming to Leading Edge Trading, and it has boosted my bottom line immensely. Stockholm Syndrome? Yeah, I'm fine with it as long as my profits are expanding.

Recently the ES had it's worst day in 3 years.

Using Leading Edge's information, I had the best day of my trading career, and made 62 points in that session. How well did you guys do with your lame and awfully late indicators, setups, signals and confirmations? Not well, I'd imagine.

Give the guy a chance, do as he says, and your trading will prosper. My trading career certainly has.

What is really interesting about your comment is the fact that the early October 2014 bankruptcy coincides almost directly with Ohnomore's post on October 3, 2014, which states how he lost everyone's money.

As HT would say, PJAC!

Well, he may be able to call the market to the tick, but apparently that didn't stop him from filing bankruptcy in early October 2014. He filed in Denver Court, Chapter 7 Case #142****.

Pretty amazing since he calls the market and still can't make enough money, and you have to wonder what is going on with that. If he can't prosper using his own way of doing things, well, then who can?

Further checking, I found he lives in a fairly modest house in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and is also on Facebook under his real name of David LaCroix, the one with the Embry-Riddle Aeronautics school mentioned, and there is a good picture of him on Facebook, so you'll finally get to see just what the guy looks like. It's funny, you almost expect horns to stick out of his head the way he rants and raves, but you'll be in for a little surprise.

If HT is going bankrupt with his way of doing things, well, I'd like to hear a reason so the rest of us don't follow suit.

I was a member of the Silver Room for several months, and what made me leave finally was HT going off on a 45 minute rant for who knows what reason, probably against someone who asked a question, and the fact that HT's data and Mod B's chart didn't match up during Voice Chat. One trade that really jumped out was one that, per HT's data, should have gotten missed by 1.5 points, as it was by me and several others attempting to get short a bounce.

Since we all got missed by no less than 1.5 points, I was then surprised to see Mod B's chart conveniently have it as a miss, but HT then bragged about what a great trade it was. Then when people complained about the trade not even coming close to getting filled, he went off on his usual tirade of "don't be a d for a t". Sometimes, as you will no doubt observe, your order will be hit to the tick and not get filled, and this can be exasperating, but some got straight up missed and here was HT explaining how great the 10 point run was; a trade that he could not have been in, and neither could Mod B.

Any fool can post boxes showing you where you should have put your trades at the end of the day, but until I see actual trade logs from Mod B and HT, I will not be coming back to Leading Edge Trading.

Just completed the two week free trial. Since I'm an advanced trader I did live trading per usual.

Thinking this HT guy had something good but I was wrong, to the tune of about $2k. Level after level got blown through and was soft as pudding. Market S/R levels being soft isn't actually HT's fault (sorry, but the big money institutions are not playing the ES game when the VIX goes under 14), but he insisted that we had to have confidence in the market. Funny, since the Goldman Sachs trade desk results are off this year by 75%, I'm guessing that they aren't wasting their time playing this low volatility nightmare for the last two years.

Last time this happened to HT (David La Croix), his aptly named trading business "David La Croix Trading" went out-of-business, in 2004. Lack of volatility kills his strategy, but he won't admit it. Since people are getting hurt by his currently dead strategy, and since Mod B left the room, the place has gone downhill fast and I have taken the liberty of reporting him to the CFTC.

Good ol' David La Croix can go back to sales instead of selling lies and snake oil to traders. Save your money, and report him to the CFTC!!
