This is geared toward longtime students of Al who feels they have a firm grasp of the course material.
I have gone through about 30% of the videos and I'm concerned with retention. To the credit and detriment of the course it's an awesome amount of material. I'm curious how someone well versed (and profitable) achieved critical mass. For instance, would be interested in something in this format:
1. Go through Brooks Trading Course videos
2. Watch trading sessions
3. Revisit Trading Course video section X
4. Start to Sim Trade the ES using things you notice on chart
5. Revisit Trading Course video session Y
This is just an example of how I could envision it playing out, The general cadence could be totally different. Me watching the videos 2 to 3 times sequentially probably isn't going to do it though I would imagine.
Any feedback would be helpful. Kind Regards.
Hi Nate: 12 years in here. I originally bought the original Brooks trading Course that was not as long as the current course and the graphics were in black and white. I was lucky in that I had a job in the evenings where I had a lot of free time. I converted the video files to Mp3s back then and had them on my phone. During the down times at work I would listen. My job was temporary full time and was going to last 3 years so that gave me a deadline. My mind said, "I HAVE to have this down by fall 2017 which is when the job was scheduled to be finished." I probably listened to the entire course 30 times over 3 years while at work and I'm not exaggerating. I remember as Al was talking and it was the 30th time listening I knew the words that were going to come out of his mouth next. I had it almost memorized verbatim. I traded sim and real money during the mornings. I went back and forth, sim to real to sim to real. Back then there was no micro's so it was the full ES.
We had bi-monthly trading meetings I went to where we studied Brooks methodology. I ended up quitting that job Labor Day 2017 as I got it down before it ended.
I would say repetition is key. Watching or listening over and over and over and over. Screen time as well. The longer you are in the game, the screen time is what becomes most important to get better. You're mind says, "I've seen this thousands of times" and the screen time gives you the confidence to push the button.
