Russell’s 1500 pips gets my vote. I am adopting it as my goal.
About Orlando, even if you chose not to trade Cecil’s mechanical system (and I recommend you do),there was much to learn from him.
If you think Mac is a good teacher, there is more to learn from watching him in person. Orlando was impressive and meeting other Traders a great addition to the content of the event.
Orlando was an excellant event in Forex Training. You will always need more training.
Getting Forex Trading into your head is only possible through dicipline and dedication, YOUR dicipline and dedication.

Well, I think it is honest and everything but somehow a little lame. I did not really get the point why I should go to the summit.
I would be looking for comments that refer to specific things learned at the summit that I don’t learn from the DVDs …

Lu June 14, 2008 at 12:45 pm

Bravo, Russell!!
Those are some pretty potent impressive pips!! You have learned what you needed to know and are putting it to action!! I’m impressed! and hope to do similarly.

HARVEY SOLIN June 14, 2008 at 12:46 pm

a very general presentation. what teckniques did he use, what time-frames, what currency combinations etc. everything on this site isgetting more and more general and the emphsis is definately going to selling products rather than focusing on specific tools. that goes for mac’s nightly forcast. anyone with six months trading experience can easily figure out for themselves where the support and resistance levels are. no real insight here.

Ronald Lamb June 14, 2008 at 6:11 pm

Hey, I like boring people, they make the best traders, and worthy advertisers thereof. Ever seen Ben Stein advertise artificial tears? They chose him over all others to do the ads, because dry-eye-cure is not something people shoud be excited about, even after they have conquered it.

I agree with those who say we could vote better if we had something to compare it with.

Kara June 14, 2008 at 8:02 pm

He came across as a sincere and unrehearsed testimonial. I believed what he said and liked that fact that despite his success, he still wanted to reinfornce his education and skills.

Kara June 14, 2008 at 8:16 pm

Ok, finally figured out how to see all the testimonials, so here’s my vote…I liked Ken the best. All of the them were great,and by that I mean they didn’t sound staged (which is saying a lot)and contained relavent information anyone would be glad to know. Best to all of them!

Allen June 14, 2008 at 8:34 pm

Need to see many more of these testimonials,preferably with more comments on actual Orlando content.I live in Australia and would need more factual information to convince me that I should be there in 2009.

Rhonda June 15, 2008 at 2:17 am

All three gentlemen speacking very sincere and humble about this program. Expressing gratitude and the fact the they have learned a great deal about the stock market, when to get out, and how to stay ahead. I got enough information from all of them that this is an excellent tool to study with. Russell from Alaska was the best presenter. No hype, no jumping up and down, and clearly staying with the program in his explanation. The gentleman from Texas also very excited about his new found study material and honestly telling the world that he still learned more even though he has been in the market for some time. The gentleman from Montreal was to low and soft spoken, however he too gave a positive feed back about this program.
I vote for Russell

Mary Kay June 15, 2008 at 5:35 am

These are better for the program, not Oralando. If you watch all three you get what the program is about and what a value it is, (and I agree wholeheartedly)but none struck me as that compelling. What about a woman? What about someone who was starting from scratch? I can’t relate to any of them but if you only listen to them, Russell would get my vote.

Will Welty June 15, 2008 at 8:32 am

All three gentlemen gave honest and compelling reviews…. but 1500 pips is an eyeopener!! I think I could live on that.

Bob June 15, 2008 at 10:32 am

I like the fact that Russell is just a regular guy. He has achieved an awesome average of 1500 pips a month on 1 hour a day. That sounds like Nirvana to me.

Joe June 15, 2008 at 10:34 am

Quite a testimony. Trading one hour per day and averaging 1500 pips per month. I know personally I was able to produce a 300% gain in my DEMO account in 6 weeks, but I traded more than one hour per day.
I suppose there are many ways to apply the knowledge, would be interested in more detail.

John June 15, 2008 at 10:47 am

It would be great if he could show his trading records for the past 3 months. That would be more proof for any amount of words. Talk is cheap.

david brown June 15, 2008 at 11:20 am

I would give Russei 9 out of 10 because he seems to be a typical “trader type” who would communicate effectively to other traders that have “heard it all”. His delivery is simple and understated which is just what you want.1500 pips!! I need to go back and review my course again.

Lin D June 15, 2008 at 11:30 am

Liked. Vote: want more. Never learn from just one. Never research using one source. Always use as many variations, as the one piece of info that will cause information to come together and function as a whole will come from outside your normal sources.

Frederick M Prouty June 15, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Okay, Russell is not a motivational speaker. Instead he is a man worth listening to and comes across as honest. I believe he would tell you what he really thinks if you asked him a question. He seems to be a life time learner and finds advantages to whatever he is doing by seeking additional knowledge from others with quality professional experience.

p.anthony June 15, 2008 at 11:19 pm

Russell was fine. Quite matter of fact no nonsense kind of guy.
Which is probably why he is suceeding in FX.
Testimonials never really draw me in, I am always a tad sceptical.
But thanks for the opportunity to voice our opinions.

Gene Bogard June 16, 2008 at 7:31 am

All of the videos showed that the persons were sincere. I am voting for the man from Ok. He gave the comparison of one system to theinsidercode. I do believe Mac is also sincere in trying to help his clients. He needs to sit down and organize his videos however, with a statement of what he is going to say, then say it and then summarize what he said. That is what good teachers do. I hope this helps.

Gene

Mischelle June 16, 2008 at 7:53 am

Hey, I think its great. These men all are learning and sounds like having success. I am convinced the insider code works, because I am making money!

Walter June 16, 2008 at 8:25 am

I think the gentleman from Oklahoma was the best as far as an endorsement of the whole system.

alvin June 16, 2008 at 10:53 am

could not say much. i just wondering can you tell me the way to make 1500 pips a month consistenly? bcos he only told that he made it not the way to do it

regards

Alvin

Sheila Geier June 16, 2008 at 12:00 pm

I am an absolutely green newbie, so I soaked up every word from these gentlemen. They each made it clear in their own way, that the course is hugely valuable to them, and they appreciate Mac X’s integrity and help. I think Ken told us the most about Orlando and how it was well worth it. I give him 7 out of 10. Russell gets 5, not because he wasn’t enthusiastic, that may be his style, but because he didn’t say much about Orlando. The man from Montreal, whose name I couldn’t catch, but still stated how happy he is with the course, gets 4.

kamala hope-campbell June 16, 2008 at 7:10 pm

I thought Russell was believable, I love that he trades an hour a day -my goal and 1500 pips good endorsement for Orlando and will do my best to be at the next one

william flood June 16, 2008 at 7:33 pm

I found Russell’s statements to be quite honest but I thought these videos were here to pump up the Orlando event and really make us feel like we should have been there and we missed out on some really good info and his statements really didn’t come off that way. I give him a 5 out of 10.

Trish June 16, 2008 at 8:43 pm

I’m voting for Russell as he gives details of his trading results.

However, Russell’s been trading for some years to get this sort of result, so maybe many of us are too impatient & need to put more effort into our learning.

Mac didn’t ever promise a miracle. I agree with others who’ve said it’s up to us to make it happen.

Richard Anastasi June 16, 2008 at 11:20 pm

Dear Mac,
At the Orlando Conference, you asked us for feedback.

I requested that when you mention support/resistance zones that you give us the numbers of the top and bottom of the respective ranges. If you forget to do in the video, then at least put it in the text that accompanies a video. This would be especially useful when you refer to a support zone from a prior video. Since Orlando, you have not been consistent about giving specific numbers for the ranges.

I waste a lot of time stopping the video and trying to see where you are drawing the zones.

I can understand why you won’t post trading advice in writing on the site, but I can’t see how it would hurt to write down and post the current range for support and resistance zones.

Thanks
Richard Anastasi

Andrew Krupka June 17, 2008 at 12:12 am

I can’t say that any of the videos tell anything about the orlando conference. They all sound like sales pitches to me. You know the ones on late night tv were the guy is selling some kind of realestate deal. I don’t know what I think about the whole insidercode deal. Mac is great at reviewing what occurred in the past. And that is a great attribute. I actually enjoy his reviews of what the market has done.

Yetta Roy June 17, 2008 at 5:58 am

Russell seems just a bit reluctant during this interview. Perhaps it’s due to nerves with talking on video. Anyway, I appreciate his candor, 1500 pips/month is impressive. The activity he shares is encouraging to those looking to be involved for the long haul.

David M. June 17, 2008 at 5:32 pm

Although a couple video-speakers stood out above others, my vote here is actually being ‘split’ between Mac and Cecil. Consistently they have shared openly and honestly from their hearts… with ‘fair balance’ emphasized to help us conserve our
equity above all.

We should all be very thankful for these leaders opening to us their treasure trove of experience… to assist us to hit the trading-road running !

Ken Quinlan June 17, 2008 at 6:29 pm

My vote is for Russel,
He is believable and actually quotes some results VS just saying how much he likes the program

Harry P June 17, 2008 at 6:48 pm

Of the 3 I vote for the guy from Alaska because he is the only one that mentioned his direct results, i.e. 1500 pips per month.

Carl June 17, 2008 at 6:58 pm

1500 pips per month is fantastic. I only wish I were doing as well. He gets my vote!

Joy June 17, 2008 at 6:58 pm

The Canuck gets my vote.

Cheryl June 17, 2008 at 7:24 pm

Is there still only 3 to vote between? (I haven’t been able to find any other videos.) If so then my vote goes to Gaetano from Canada.

Bob June 17, 2008 at 7:31 pm

I enjoyed Russell. He seems really down to earth. Always willing to learn but also is profitable right now. He recieves my vote.

Darlene T June 17, 2008 at 7:32 pm

My vote is for Russel.
He was very genuine and specific in his comments yet not overly detailed. His comments conveyed a confidence in the program which implied that anyone who applied themself would be able to accomplish his returns. 1500 pips–here I come!

John kinnunen June 17, 2008 at 7:36 pm

Russell from Alaska has my vote. Clear and detailed enough. Might even spur me to try trading myself.

Streve Johnson June 17, 2008 at 8:22 pm

It doesn’t sound like Russell learned anything new from the Orlando event. According to what I heard him say, The Insider code is reinforcing what he thinks he already knows. With his futures background and 3 years of forex trading, that may be possible. 1500 pips per month and 1 hour a day sounds pretty good. Maybe Russell finds that what he hears from MAC gives him the confidence that his trading techniques he is using is correct. Who or how did he learn techniques he is using to begin with? Was it more cost effective than the Insider Code? I was at Dallas, but not Orlando. I was a little disappointed with the Dallas event itself. However the follow up since Dallas I am very happy with. Based on what Russell is saying,what Mac is teaching is right on the money. I would give him a 6 out of 10, assuming that his 1500 pips per month at 1 hour per day is real.

Bob DeSisto June 17, 2008 at 8:37 pm

I vote for the gentleman from Oklahoma. I echo many of his sentiments, especially those comments related to other courses. I can honestly say that the Insider Code kit steps you through trading step by step. Before last year I’d never heard of a pip or support or resistance. Dallas and Orlando have supplemented the kit tremendously.
Mac seems to be overcoming some growing pains. Dallas started out a little weak but ended with a bang. Orlando was better organized and the mechanical techniques build on and reenforced the Dallas method.

Fred Murray June 17, 2008 at 10:26 pm

My vote goes to Bill because he at least mentions getting something from Orlando

Arthur Kowalchuk June 17, 2008 at 10:37 pm

The gentleman from Virginia impressed with his 10 month experience in forex trading, as well as information from Orlando.

Phil Sheather June 18, 2008 at 12:22 am

While all four are obvciously sincere in their comments, for me it’a between Ken Epperson for enthusiasm and Bill Sharpe foe content.
On reflection mt vote goes to Bill Sharpe

John A June 18, 2008 at 1:20 am

All three videos dwell on the speaker’s experience with and perception of the Insider Code programme. On this basis, Ken of Canada gets my vote with a balanced presentation highlighting key issues and features of the Insider process. Russell provides impressive specifics of his performance using the Code but of course not able to be substantiated. John of Oklahoma was to general.

However, why these three? What of the several other hundred delegates attending Orlando. I also hope that Orlando was of greater value to participants than that from Dallas.

I look forward to the opportunity to learn about the Orlando content as a member from Downunder who was not able to travel to the US for a second time within 12 months.

Graham June 18, 2008 at 1:55 am

The delegate sounds genuine though somewhat reserved. I guess he’s not used to being filmed and we can all understand that. He makes a positive comment. Useful information, cautious with his trades … which he has learn from Macx.

Graham June 18, 2008 at 1:56 am

Yup – I’d give this a plus Vote / Graham

Trevor S June 18, 2008 at 2:28 am

I liked the style of Dave from Virginia. Nice and steady learning to swim, before diving in. I wish I had his patience. Probably a lesson here for all us starters. He has my vote.

Allen Fletcher June 18, 2008 at 5:25 am

Hi Mac,
after reading a cross section of the above comments,I would like to say that the basic Insider Code material is fantastic and is true value for money when compared to what else is available.The backup resources on the website are adequate but I believe there is a need for more consistency when it comes to video updates eg when was the last weekly wrap video posted.My biggest complaint is with the Customer Service people,they either do not address the problem put to them by not reading the email carefully or they reply saying they do not know the answer to the problem.Every question asked pertains to the content of TIC so I would assume that someone should be able to address the problem.A recent email pointing this out has not been replied to.Maybe you can sort it out and I look forward to hearing from you.

Robert MacKenzie June 18, 2008 at 5:25 am

It apears he has gotten there.
I vote yes. 7 of 10
I wish I could get it.

Sylvia June 18, 2008 at 6:37 am

‘continued’
The Virginian should receive the computer. Russel was the most experienced but did not summarize every thing, although he did say Insider Code reinforced his Forex experience.
Dave started from scratch and went through trades in the Forex with The Insider Code. Although he only trades one trade a day, thus far, anyone who wants too can trade multiple trades, like Mac, when they are comfortable to do so. The point is, in order to become competent, the learning is up to the students by applying what is taught, not the instructor. ‘A’ students work harder than ‘C’ students! Don’t be upset with the instructor nor yourself if this takes you longer than you think it should. Just keep on keeping on!
