Bob

I’m a newbie here and also new to forex. Recently came across a guy on Bloomberg named Bob whose surname starts with I. (Not sure if I scan post his name in case it looks like advertising) He claims to make consistent profit for his subscribers and for a fee will notify trades by email, etc.etc.
I would imagine that wise heads here know who I’m talking about and my question, before I subscribe for his money back two month trial, is…
am I wasting my time and money?

Probably. Just because he’s on Bloomberg doesn’t mean he’s any good.

Am I allowed to post his name?
This guy has a website ( several) if you google him.
Has a daily webinar and is very very convincing.
Also on CNN and Fox etc.

I think I know who you are referring to Mot. He is well known and it would surprise me if nobody on this site can help you as to his reputation expertise credibility and success. From what I understand Bob appears regularly on Bloomberg , CNN , Fox News and CNBC and I doubt he would be invited on such high profile Forums unless he was respected for his views. But I don’t know if his advises have benefited his Clients - or otherwise. And thats where you came in. Hope you get the information you need.

Thank you Tree Surgeon. I was beginning to think my subject was taboo here. Our man Bob is very very convincing and doesn’t do the ‘hard sell’ bit. As I said, I’m new here and new to Forex so I did a quick scan here and even checked the Q&A section, but no mention of our man.
I can understand why it may not suit the house here to mention names etc. so unless somebody in authority here offers advice …don’t know where to go with it.
Obviously there’s glowing testimonials all over Google but these are usually done by the seller himself or his cohorts so I take no notice. Neither do I buy the soft sell bit as that’s just another way to trap the fly in the spiders webb.
Was hoping for an honest appraisal here as this feels like a nice place.

PS…am loving the School.

Hey guys and gals, I’m losing faith in you lot. Was hoping that over the weekend somebody here would say Bob is the real deal etc.
Obviously nobody here has tried and failed with him?
The Newbie Island claim that this is the best place to ask a question
is the reason I’m asking the question here.
C’mon lads,

Why are you losing faith in US?

Bob is just another guy in a long list of “pros”. They are a dime a dozen.
Most people here are adverse to buying anything from anyone peddling “guru” wares.

So pardon us if none of us cared to kick down his entry fee.

Since you seem to be a bit adverse to other search options, preferring instead to chastise the membership here, I’ve taken initiative for you.

Knock yourself out.

Thank you Master Tang.
My faith has been restored and you are the one that restored it.
I hope I explained in my initial post why I was adverse to using other
internet options…they cannot be trusted.
Please dont feel chastised by my comment, it wasn’t meant like that.
Let me repeat. I’m new to all this and I’m feeling my way.
This looks like a nice honest place and you have now proved that.
Thanks for those links.
Have a nice weekend Master Tang

Personally I think Bob is okay, definatly the real deal. The thing is if you go with his service use the 60 days to see if his style is compatible with you and by all means don’t “bet the house” on his signals. If you trade with real money use a small amount. get used to how he presents trades and then goto your own charts and understand why he is taking the trade. The very least you can do for yourself is learn how to trade@ What if Bob dies or decides he doesn’t want to do signals anymore? Then what will you do?

Thank you sincerely Johnnykanoo.
Yours is the type of response solicited, and I note that you are a senior member here.
Master Tang tried to help but I was aware of his links prior to asking for advice here. I had read all that stuff and watched his promotional videos many times. Thing is, there’s no substitute for experience and I was hoping to unearth here a like soul who had used Bob’s services and came up trumps.
In fairness, he does not promise miracles and gives much the same advice as yourself.
I like his line about teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish, or words to that effect.
Thanks again for your response. I do appreciate your advice.

I want to make sure I am clear. I have not used his new service. I did in the past use his service for 30 days and it was more a classroom type webinar that showed his analysis which I thought was brilliant. He is a good trader not just an analyst. There is a huge difference!

That’s understood Johnny. I have been attending his webinars on and off lately where he gives his current open trades and his reasons for entering them etc
Guess it’s now time to **** or get off the pot and pay for his 60day money back course.
BTW…It’s me that put in them stars as I’m pretty sure excreta wouldn’t be allowed. :slight_smile:

You obviously didn’t click the links.

Those are links to REVIEWS from people who have tried his methods.

Good luck with it!

Thank you Master T, much appreciated.

Sometimes it’s best to try harder.

I have a hard time trusting someone who says they can make you rich for a small fee. If they can teach you, why can’t they make so much money they don’t need to moonlight as a instructor? Out of the goodness of their hearts? The people who are doing that are just flat out offering their advice for free. I’m more inclined to listen to what these people have to say (even if it is taken with a grain of salt).

Great analysis there LSI and mostly spot on. Thing is though, our man Bob does not claim to make us rich without lots of effort from ourselves.
He says in his promotional video that he does not need the money and his
efforts to teach new traders like us gives him soooo much satisfaction that
it’s better than money. All very laudable and understandable, perhaps?

Like you, I find it difficult to digest and that is why I started this topic here. Before investing a cent it would be comforting to know that others had done so and didn’t suffer any great losses.
Perhaps in the next day or so, we will unearth such a body here?

Well come ON guys, if it’s on TV, it can’t be a scam.

You obviously didn’t click the links

FPA gave him 4 stars?

Anyway you can’t trust “review” sites since his service is available through clickbank it is likely that they are affiliate reviews.

Mot O Llennoc if you are going to try his service than I suggest you go to clickbank.com and open an affiliate account, then buy from your own link so you get half your money back after 60 days.

I guess he sells an indi for hundreds of bucks what is available for free:

Advanced ADX - MQL4 Code Base

Might everybody think for himself whats the reason to do that. If he would make money while trading, why does he have to sell things what are free to get? I can recognize somebody has fun to teach and want compensation, but selling free stuff for a ridiculous price is, at least to me, not a sober attitude.

Ah, I forgot, its on tv. Right. That must be the rocket to a million dollars!

Just my 2 cents. :stuck_out_tongue:
