Toby Alexander posted today on Youtube 10 trades under the title "Trading with Your Ascended Master Self" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=087tlYnrjuE&feature=related) as part of a marketing campaign to sell either online coaching or workshops. Although it is difficult to verify if these are ten consecutive trades since there where large time gaps between many of them and Toby is trading only 1 contract instead of his usual 8 contracts (possibly to allow for multiple trials with minimal loss), I will give Toby the benefit of the doubt that he got lucky this time with 10 consecutive winners (with a 75% probably of winning in each trade, which is pretty high as is, the odds of getting 10 consecutive winners is 5 out 100). With that in mind, here are my comments on these marketing videos and what's behind them.
Toby claims that he can teach you how to get in touch with you higher self so that you can ask your higher self whether or not to enter a trade. Toby does not seem to follow a consistent trading system here although he is showing the indicators from the "TradingAuthority.com". In the online class that I took with Toby, he insisted that we must follow a system and he was teaching us the Trading Authority system which we had to buy through him for $1,500. Why is he moving away from that? In fact, many of the trades he took are going against the trend which is a no-no in the Trading Authority system. Is this a sign that Toby could not teach this system to others? Does he really have a system or is he just following his intuition plus momentum while he is trading?
In the class I took with Toby he tried to teach us how to get in touch with our higher self so we can better predict the outcome of a trade, and we just did not get it! In fact, one of the students, named Alex, has been with Toby for over a year, was continuing to make mistakes and had fears entering trades.
What does “being in touch with your higher self” mean? Toby claims that it is an energetic connection with another dimension of your being that is much wiser and more knowledgeable. Although I believe that our deep being is a more intelligent and intuitive being, I don't believe it is a higher dimension of our self, but rather it is our true being without all the noise of emotions and thoughts in our bodies and heads. Toby's method for reaching this higher self is following some protocols with sounds and images, but they do not work - at least not for me and for the many students whom left comments reflecting their lack of progress.
The only way we can get in touch with our higher self is to heal our pain and rid ourselves from the emotions and thoughts that block us from being present – being in the now. Although Toby seems to be able to be present while trading, based on my experience and observations in the VIP room, he does not know how to teach you to do the same.
