Like one other reviewer stated - he's a good guy no doubt. But like he also mentioned the service is of limited value in its current form.
First, market profile/auction theory is not a methodology in and of itself. It also tends to perform poorly on trend days, wide range days or during periods of high volatility which FT71 freely admits. Since this is the primary focus of the service as it stands now, you're going to be disappointed once you figure out that you're not being provided all of the pieces that you need.
Second, the only way you can really and truly help someone is to work with them in real-time day after day for an extended period of time - and this is where the service really falls short. On the days he's there you may see 1 or possibly 2 trades posted on Twitter along with some other market comments throughout the day which in some ways is worse than nothing, and not even close to what is needed.
I know he has other responsibilities and also that the service is largely free so the above comments are meant as experienced observations, not criticisms. But if you're going to offer training then you're either in or you're out, and you're either free or fee-based, but you can't hug some middle ground which is what is happening here.
And for those who are thinking, well fine gibbs what have you've done to help other traders? I ran a low profile/very low cost chat room/service for a number of years so I'm intimately familiar with what's involved. When done properly it's an extremely time consuming process and one that burned me out, so I know of what I speak.
I would also add that you have to be particularly careful of "reviews" when it comes to free services because these folks are immediately granted god-like status by some solely due to the cost, or lack thereof. But Value is not just a function of cost, and a free service can cost you plenty while a paid service can make/save you a ton.
In closing I'll make a prediction that this service won't be free for much longer. And that may be the best thing that could happen to both FT71 and the aspiring traders that are truly committed to learning how to trade proficiently. This is my hope too because I both like and respect FT71.
