James16 Group

[newbietrader]

Has anyone tried joing this group from ForexFactory? It's $129 per month. Is it worth it?

I joined a couple of months ago and have really enjoyed what I have learned there. Definitely read the free chart thread on the public forum first. If you like what you have learned there and want to take the next step (and have the money of course) then I would recommend joining. Good luck.

Since I don't really know you I can't tell you what will be helpful for you and I don't want to make a "recommendation" per se. Allow me to share a couple observations:

James16 concentrates on "price action" set-ups. Be aware that the information presented is not a "system", or a mechanical device, or a signal service. It is not magic. (I believe James says so himself in very clear terms over and over again in the threads.) Most of the ideas presented have been around for many years. You could find them on your own if you so choose. The reason price action observation tools are still around is that they still work. Price is what we try to measure, right?

IMHO, what the James16 group provides is a synthesis of the very root of market price action analysis and, most importantly, a community where these specific techniques and ideas can be discussed with other decent traders. Ultimately that's why we join forums (like babypips), isn't it?

As Andy said above, read the public side first (twice if you need to). Feel free to PM me if you have any questions - I feel like I already turned this post into an advert. Sorry guys.

I haven't seen any of their trading techniques but from what I've seen from other traders, it seems like they are pretty smart. Do your diligent research before spending your money though. Happy trading!

any success stories of here? they are helpful in their public forum posts but I dont want to spend the 130/month at this point.

I joined the James16 group for a month and was actually disappointed. There is a good bit of information to be had there, it just isn't worth $130 a month. I've been reading every possible thing I can find on Forex for the last several months, and I figured by joining their group they would be able to provide new insights into the market. Unfortunately though there wasn't anything said there that I haven't already read somewhere else.
In my opinion it is only a good value if you think $130 a month is worth the convenience of having price action analysis and a couple decent systems consolidated in one easily accessible site.

I thoroughly enjoyed the free thread at FF and the many charts help a lot. Great place to start your studies and the current posters keep up a good discussion that you can bounce your ideas off of.

is there even any forex information worth paying for these days? i just feel that there is so much free info and the money is better spent going into my trading account balance.
