Had I realized in advance that it was going to be as big a project as it is, I would not have done it. But, when I started doing it, I decided that I really wanted to do it well. I probably will never make a significant revision to it again. I think it will have everything that I want to communicate there, and I think it will be much clearer than anything else I\u2019ve ever done.<\/p>\n<p>Richard is going to make a couple of videos of PowerPoints of some of the modules that I\u2019ve done. The current course is about 36 hours long. The new course might be closer to 50. I\u2019ve cut several of the longer videos into pieces, and some of them I\u2019ve cut into three pieces. So for example, &#8216;Trading breakouts&#8217;, I\u2019ll have three videos each, maybe 30 minutes or so.<\/p>\n<h3>Everything a trader needs to know<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-breakout-correct-stop.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-43773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-breakout-correct-stop-300x169.png\" alt=\"Ask Al 27 Forex Strong Breakout Needs Correct Stop\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-breakout-correct-stop-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-breakout-correct-stop-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-breakout-correct-stop.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I have no idea what the total length of the course will be. I think it probably will be about 50 hours. You can imagine, it\u2019s thousands of slides, and tens of thousands of little notes on the slides. But it will be really comprehensive and it will have pretty much everything that any trader needs to know. Obviously, it will take a long time for anyone to go through it all, and someone will have to go through it many times to really understand everything. I think a trader does not need to understand everything to trade profitably, but I going to have an incredible amount of information there. And I\u2019m hoping that it will be much easier to read or to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The earlier modules, the first 10 modules or so, some of the slides &#8212; maybe 10 percent of the slides &#8212; are text, but 90 percent of the slides are charts. And then maybe the last 70 percent of the PowerPoints that I\u2019ve created have charts on every slide. So there are going to be thousands of charts with notes on all the charts, and I\u2019m using animations so you step through one sentence at a time describing things. Some charts &#8212; I spend an hour on one chart talking about everything that the chart is trying to show, and it will all be there one sentence at a time.<\/p>\n<h3>A hard slog but worthwhile<\/h3>\n<p>I have to be honest, at this point it\u2019s really becoming a lot of hard work because I like doing interesting things, and when I started the project, it was new and interesting, and now it\u2019s just becoming work. Pretty much all my free time is going into it, and there\u2019s no way that I can get paid enough to make it worth my while But I\u2019m getting late in my trading career, and I really want to do something special. It\u2019s not like there are a whole bunch of things I like doing. What I like to do is think; I like to sit and think and try to get my ideas clear, and then try to present my ideas, either in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/price-action-trading-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">books<\/a> or in the trading room, like right now, or in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/buy-the-brooks-price-action-trading-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trading course<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I do enjoy that, so I\u2019m trying really hard to make it clear. Every day here, I take several questions; on the two websites, I take questions; and then I also [have] people talk with me on the side. And the result is, since I\u2019ve released the last version of the course, I\u2019ve answered thousands of questions, and I\u2019m getting a good sense of what I did not make clear in the current course. With that information, I\u2019m making a special effort to try to make everything that I did not make clear; I\u2019m trying to make it very clear.<\/p>\n<h3>Two versions of course: Emini and Forex<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-trend-always-swing-41a.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-45917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-trend-always-swing-41a-300x169.png\" alt=\"Forex Strong Trend Always Swing\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-trend-always-swing-41a-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-trend-always-swing-41a-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/ask-al-27-forex-strong-trend-always-swing-41a.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Anyway, Richard is going to take a couple of the videos and turn a couple of the PowerPoints and have them stair-step through the animations, and he\u2019ll turn them into videos. The course is about 50 videos, but some of the videos I have divided into two or three. So, in actual fact, the numbers will be one through 50, but 41, we\u2019ll have 41A, and there\u2019ll be another video, 41B, another video, 41C. Instead of 50 videos, there might be 75 or 80 videos. And then I\u2019m also doing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxcm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forex<\/a> version of the course at the same time, so one course is going to be pretty much all Emini, but the Emini course, traders can trade stocks, or crude oil, or gold, or bonds; they could easily use just the Emini course.<\/p>\n<p>They can also just as easily use the Forex course. The Forex course is entirely Forex charts and all Forex information. The Options part of the course, I\u2019ve expanded into three videos, and I\u2019m hoping that it will be helpful. And the Forex course is comprehensive on everything, from if you\u2019ve never seen a Forex chart, if you\u2019ve never seen any chart &#8212; I have stuff right for a person who is just starting out. Plus I have pretty complicated stuff &#8212; the kind of stuff that I talk about sometimes in the room: about testing the high close, testing the low close, scaling in; can the scale in traders get out without losing money, and if they cannot, that\u2019s a sign the market wants to go the other way, strength of breakouts.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m hoping that Richard is able to put a couple of the videos on the Brooks Trading Course website. They will not have audio; they\u2019ll be just automated, have PowerPoint just run through itself, stair-stepping through the slides and the animations. He\u2019ll just record it with Camtasia or something and then post it up there with no audio so the traders can see what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>I probably will end up charging a lot more for the course. In part because I feel like I\u2019ve worked so hard on it. And even if I end up making less money from it, it\u2019s just more of a sense of I\u2019m working so hard on the thing, that selling it for $249 [original early-bird price] just doesn\u2019t seem appropriate. So I\u2019d rather charge more even if it means making less just to get some sense that I\u2019m being paid appropriately or appropriate level for all that I\u2019m doing with the course.<\/p>\n<h3>How much for &#8216;everything needed&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<p>What will the price be? I don\u2019t know. I rely on other people to give me advice on that, but probably, when we start doing the audio, we\u2019ll probably start to increase the price of the course. I doubt that we\u2019ll sell it for less than $349 initially, and we may end up increasing the price as time goes on. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p><em>Al Brooks<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Al Brooks&#039; trading room\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/online-day-trading-room\/\">Information on Al&#8217;s Online day trading room<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BPA trading room Q&amp;A: September 15, 2015 Al was asked for any news on the Trading Course update.
