I'm with you Wayne, I feel uncomfortable about the appearance of shilling. I don't mention the teaching much, and will do so even less going forward. I might shut the thing down, if A. I did not give out life time memberships, and B. There was an alternative source that would actually teach a verifiable trading method that worked where you didn't have to pay 10's of thousands of $'s before figuring out it didn't work.
teaching has made me a great trader though. It's great too that it's automated now -- to a good degree. Only good has come from it.
When I was a kid I went to the public school, but my parents made me go to catechism every Sunday -- hated it. They used to sing songs which of course I never participated. But one time I caught myself singing along to "this little lite of mine, I'm gonna' let it shine". Every time I've had a challenge w/ quantifying the method, or now when I weigh "why keep it going? Who needs it?", I start humming that song. It will be much bigger than me.
