Tradingschools.org Has Morphed Into a Toxic Stew

There was a time when I thought Mr. Emmett Moore and tradingschools.org was nothing more than a self-promoting tool for the website owner.  I was wrong.  I think tradingschools.org is a legitimate attempt by Mr. Moore to clean-up an industry that could use a more than a little regulation.  To my surprise, Mr. Moore has shown remarkable restraint in reviewing trading/mentoring offerings on the internet.  Without exception, when he has a reviewed sites and “gotten it wrong,” he has made things right and issued a new review and explained he had either misinterpreted, been misled by undisclosed or unknown facts, or was just plain wrong in the review.  After being very critical of Mr. Emmett Moore, I have admiration for his honesty, willingness to expose himself to criticism, and innovative ideas to verify actual performance.

Mr. Moore is still writing quality reviews and rewriting reviews that missed the mark.  To my personal dismay, he keeps finding trading programs that are at best dodgy and at their very worst, downright misleading trading schools whose only purpose is to part uninformed novice traders and their hard-earned money.  On the other hand, the comments section has turned into a lynch mob and therein lays the problem.

But the train ran off the rails…

The comments section has become what most people have come to expect when reading comments on the internet; a harsh, uninformed, mean spirited atmosphere where “keyboard warriors” wage battle against trade room operators.  Most of these individuals have stated they have lost money in trading rooms or been swindled out of their hard-earned money.  Some of these comments are positive and I have received my fair share of positive comments.  The vast majority of the comments are not meant to inform or enlighten.  They are downright hurtful and off the mark.

Tradingschools.org has a comment section that is dominated by 4-6 individuals who feel their input on any given trading room is essential for world peace.  These individuals hide behind fake monikers to post their comments and they dominate any meaningful discussion of trading methodology.  They post and post and post and make the same off-the-mark comments without exception.

I will take up the basic issues in question in part 2 of this article.  We will look at the talking points generally expressed ad nauseum by commenters.
