Being that it was his event, is it safe to assume that he charged you for this mentorship?

What?
It was an 8 hour event that I paid for yes. A mentor in my mind is some that guides you over a prolonged period of time, months if not years even.
Show me your list then; to be very honest I donāt know your actual intention! But itās not an available option to all!

His āintentionā is to hook you into his āeducational platformā for Ā£96/month or Ā£246/3months
His name is Richard Seeley and he pops up every now and then fishing for punters and just flies under the radar and rules of promoting here on Babypips

Canāt be same guy. In the article he seems so courteous.
But I wonder why if any trader is profitable, and wants to teach, why bother trying to lure people into your program? Wouldnāt the program speak for itself? All you have to do is just post your results on instagram. If your program works and people become profitable, word about your program will spread naturally. No need to even use a screen name. Use your real name and be friendly. People will find you.

Nice. How much did they charge you?
Are you Richard Seely? 
You are whatās wrong with forums. Newbies and those that want to learn get side tracked with forum politics by people that have nothing better to do.
If I had done anything wrong I would have been banned or the post would have been removed. Yet here you are āself policingā a post that highlights the pitfalls of those wanting to learn to trade.
If Baby pips had an issue they would deal with it but they donāt do they?
That says a lot about your attitude doesnāt it.
These forums are not āyourā forums Johnny.
Iāll post what I like in lines with the forum guidelines. Keep it up youāll be getting banned for inappropriate harassment 
If you rush the trading process, you are bound to lose most of your capital in an instant. Learning and understanding the market sentiment is important if you want to stick around and earn consistent profit. While looking for a mentor, traders need to remember to take advice if it applies to their goals and not follow a mentor blindly.

This is an unpopular opinion on this thread and might hurt most of you guys but it is the truth. You do not need a mentor in order to succeed in the Fx market. But most people want one because they are lazy on doing their due diligence on all they need to learn.
Nowadays all the information you need is online, itās sometimes hard to find viable sources but itās there, heck youāre on one of those sites. You have to go through all the crap and know what is good info and what is useless. You donāt want to have to do the hard work that it takes to draw your own conclusion on the market, you would rather find someone who already did it and you just paid them to do the same as they do.
You are having a consumer mindset on something that has to be learned with ambition thinking that because you paid for it you will learn from it. You forget the process because youāre stuck thinking about the reward.
Most of them are scammer because most of the people looking for the service they are selling are lunatics with non realistic hopes. Most of the people buying courses or looking for mentors i bet didnāt even learn all the basics need to understand the Forex market.

Itās not laziness to pay for someone elseās work and research and knowledge. If the trader has a serious time limit it makes complete sense.
But they make two mistakes here - one is feeling like there is a desperate hurry - maybe this reveals they feel they have to get into the market, make money and get out fast - the other is that successful trading is so complex that only a mentor can provide success.

There is nothing like fastest way of Forex learning; because itās an innovative game! No way to copy-paste others mindset!
Agreed. Backtesting shows you where you should enter, not where you actually enter in reality. You could get a strong signal to enter but ignore it because you already have a position open, therefore missing several signals.
Maybe heās worth the money. Heās not been spamming, heās brought up some great points and if heās being honest then heās clearly paid his dues to get where he is today. Due diligence will answer that question for you.
There is nothing wrong with teaching and wanting to get paid for you knowledge.

Fair points on back-testing. Any strategy that relies on the individual traderās TA constructs, such as channel boundaries, trend-lines, support/resistance levels etc. make back-testing random.
Iāve seen some strategies where the only possible way they could score the sort of win rate and success they have claimed would be if the trader took repeated entry signals on the same pair. In practice this would almost never be a traderās response, very few of us add even one new position to an existing position.

Do you seriously think that babypips members are going to believe what you say in an advertising post?
I have to admit, its possible you alone have possession of the ultimate secret to forex trading. But you would have to provide something a teeny bit more concrete before that becomes believable.

Sorry to disappoint - but Tom Hougaard is not a free signal service.
Tradertom.com is a free educational site with many resources. He also has a free Live day trading Telegram channel which he trades live everyday, with audio streaming.
He is an extremely successful high stakes trader.
The so called āmentorā should.have more knowledge and experience than a raw rookie .So hopefully he can advise them and save their time. That they donāt need to know all the bull. Emphasize what is important to know regarding success. Other than that they are pointless because the main difference between success/failure is psychological

Finding a good mentor in your trading journey can definitely help you get your trading success fastly, but if you are longing for the success that lasts longer, then you need to figure out the things for yourself. And it is not an easy task to find a mentor as they are not a lot of reliable people in the market.

There is absolutely no fastest way to success, it takes time to get used to the market sentiment to be able to make consistent profit. Analyse the market on your own, practice and once you plan out a strategy, look for a mentor to help guide you. It doesnāt mean you need to follow the mentorās ideas. Formulate your own and take advice, be smart and practical to survive this market.
