when is your book coming out?
Hello Ricky,
No idea – still writing it. Hopefully summer.
I’ll definitely make an announcement when its ready.
Kind Regards,
Chris
Is the book going to be published as a kindle edition ?
Hello Matt,
We will publish it in physical and electronic form as well so yes, am looking forward to it.
Kind Regards,
Chris
Hi, when will your book be released also does your book include anything on the market profile?
Hello
I always sceptical about people selling their books or advices about financial market as the best way for them (if they follow their own very good advices) is to trade the market themselves (as there is no other way to make lot of money). Does that mean, you make more money selling books and advices than trading your advice ? sorry for this question but i am very interested by the answer.
Warm regards.
Hello Barbaroux,
Since I’ve been asked this question over 1000x, I wrote an article about this explaining why I do what I do.
You can find the article here:
Why I Do This
Hopefully once you’ve read the article you will have a greater understanding of why I do what I do.
Kind Regards,
Chris
Hello Chris. i wonder why people always ask this same question all the time?
in the first place, they came to your site because they were looking for something about trading? if they were so good they wouldn’t be here, would they?
and if you became good and kept your skills to your self then folks like us and them wouldn’t have met you or improved on our trading skills and knowledge the way we have right now.
i have seen and heard about gurus who sell their systems for thousands of dollars and yet people buy and always ask for refunds.
your life time membership is just $399. and as a member of your site I will say your free stuff is top notch….and they are all over your site and FXSTREET.com
the person complaining about you charging a fee should stick your free stuff and if s/he is serious about trading, that would be enough to jump start him/her.
the Good Book (Bible)says “the worker is worthy of his wages…” what we have paid is little compared to the work behind what you offer especially the quantitative data on your Advanced Price Action Course.
can’t wait for your book to be out by the way. cheers
cheers
Hello Ricky,
You bring up some good points here.
In some sense, I can understand the question, especially if people’s motivation is money above all else. If that was the case, then you’d be wondering why they (the educator) are not engaging in the one activity which makes the most money. But anyone who’s read my article about why I do this, or the philanthropic projects, or a lot of what I do, its not about the money any more. Once you’ve made a lot of money, you ask yourself what do you want to do with it. I chose to both trade and help others.
One thing we have to ask is, if nobody taught others how to trade, how would anyone ever improve?
When I started over 11+ years ago, only 10% of traders were making money. Now the average is about 25%. How did that happen? Through educators and the level of education building over the years, with the knowledge and skill base expanding over time.
If someone is skeptical because money is their main motivation, then I understand the question. If they themselves have gone through a trading scam of some sort, then I understand the question. But outside of that, from what I can see, the question seems very narrow minded.
I have no idea why Barbaroux or the last person asked the question, and I support them asking so they can make their own decisions. The question is, when someone asks that question – do they understand the motivation behind their question? That is an interesting question.
Hopefully my article and my work shows what I’m about. If someone doesn’t believe me, that I trade for a living, that I understand these markets – no worries. I hope they find someone who they trust and want to work with.
Anyways, thanks for your kind words – always great to work with you and hopefully I can be a part of your trading success.
Kind Regards,
Chris
I felt really bad because i was the one who started this thread in April and asked about the timing of your book’s coming out and it went on and on before this guy came with the million-dollar-but-a-dime-a-dozen question!
when I wrote that question out I was checking you out trying to find out if it was gonna be worth it raising the $399 to pay for the course. it took me some time but am in and enjoying every bit of it!
again not joking i remember when i netted 300pips from your free weekly analysis on AUDUSD just before I registered.
so i guess folks would be asking me if I am making 1000s of pips now that am in…not yet. but i have an understanding of the markets i never did before…and i see the possibility of a full time trading lifestyle as a possibility even for some one living in sub Saharan Africa!
keep up with the good work and remember I’d love to read your book and to know everything you have got(if that could be possible)
kind regards
Hello,
Can you trade for people who have no idea of fx?
Thanks.
Hello Alex,
I have a managed fund (KronosFX) which is an option.
Min. investment is $1MM USD.
Otherwise, you have the option to learn how to trade for yourself through one of my Online Trading Courses.
Hope this answers your questions.
Kind Regards,
Chris
Coach, still waiting for your book to be published
by the way, how do I get a copy of the DVD? I am your student for both the price action and pro trading course. Is the content within the DVD similar? Thks coach.
Hello Gary, the DVD is for purchase, but the material you learned in the two courses is far more in depth than the DVD.
Kind Regards,
Chris
Do you offer anything on ichimoku other than the advanced ichimoku course ?
Hello Greg,
I offer a bunch of free articles and videos on Ichimoku which you can start with.
Are you someone who’s just new to Ichimoku and wanting to learn the basics first?
Or do you already know some Ichimoku material, but are not sure you are ready for the advanced material yet?
Let me know so I can point you in the right direction.
Kind Regards,
Chris Capre
Thx fore article!
Hi Chris,
Have been trading the Ichimoku and price action for one year now and planning to take one of your classes. The problem is am not sure which I should take.
- I use the Ichimoku cloud as my primary tool
-my trades rarely last for more than a day
-looking to advance so that i can manage some Client’s fund.
Please advise
Hello Chrispine,
Have you thought about combining price action with ichimoku? Reason I ask is they are a potent combination when used together – if you can wield the two, then you have some serious weapons in your arsenal, so if I had to make a recommendation – it would be to take the Price Action Course as it would give you some incredibly powerful tools to trade intraday.
Hopefully this gives you some idea going forward.
Thoughts?
Kind Regards,
Chris Capre
