Day Trading Radio

Couldn't Believe It's That Bad

This is by far the worst pay for market info website I have ever seen or heard of. DTRS and RPM are clowns of the first order. This has to be the biggest money making scam to hit the NET in years. I wouldn't take advice from these jerks on crossing the street no less on how to trade the market. The self anointed DTRS has a rudimentary knowledge of basic trend lines but absolutely no idea on application or of fundamental trading. RPM is just a buffoon. If you are a beginner beware of this site. You do not want to learn all the wrong things from these phonies. In the old days when there was real market oversight a program like this couldn't exist. It would have been yanked off the air by the regulators. I guess we live in a new world where anyone can do anything. It's buyer beware.

There are many worthy charities out there that would be happy to accept your $50.00 per month donation and put it to good use. If you'd rather donate the money to DTRS and enhance his lifestyle join right up.

There's the Good, Bad and Ugly ...

Hmmmmm Where do I begin ... First, let me start off by stating that my day trading career commenced two months ago and I chose Daytradingradio to be my learning tool and education.It's been a very interesting two months to say the VERY least. Now with that being said I'll objectively give you the Good, the Bad and the UGLY.

THE GOOD - DaytradingRockStar aka Johnny's educational videos taught be a great deal about technical analysis. I literally went from knowing absolutely nothing about the markets to being able to easily navigate the stock market and execute trades. His specialty is stochastics which he lives and dies by. If you're a beginner trader looking to learn charting and patterns you'll learn a great deal. The chat room is full of helpful members who are more than willing to help the newbie. To sum up the good portion of Daytradingradio, it can be quite beneficial to the beginner trader looking to learn charting and patterns and 9-4 entertainment.

THE BAD & UGLY - Once again where do I begin ... Well, when I embarked on my day trading career I was FIRST looking to emulate a professionals stock picks/trades before I executed my any of my own. I followed Johnny's trades for the first two months and found myself in a small hole. Now granted, I didn't blow my account up but I was looking for steady cash flow providing I was paying a professional $50 per month. That didn't happen. I noticed that the trading Principles which Johnny swore by were not being implemented in his trades, which led to several shortcomings. A lot of trades were taken on pure emotion and not technical analysis. Now for the plethora of things that raised red flags: He trades long positions 95 percent of the time, he holds losing stocks way too long and doesn't give reason for keeping them (and I mean losing stocks that have lost 25 percent of their value), You can only count on him hosting the show 3 times per week -- excuse, other obligations, a lot of stock picks just don't make sense, He contradicts himself entirely too much and his track record is pedestrian at best. In my humble opinion if you're gonna charge individuals $50 per month you better deliver results, but he just fails to. Now granted, I'm relatively new to the site and everybody has bad months, I'm assuming, but as I read the reviews, I noticed that they mirrored my worst concerns and apprehensions.

Conclusion - If you're a beginner trader this site offers a lot of valuable information in reference to charting and patterns, but if you're a serious day trader looking to make a living this site fails to live up to the hype. I only became somewhat profitable when I made my own trades under my own guidance. I'm not going to cast aspersions and call this site a scam as many others have suggested, but I will suggest that Johnny -- the owner of the site -- significantly lower the subscription price is you're gonna offer below mediocre results.

Entertainment + Undisciplined Investing

This website is okay despite all of the strange and emotionally charged reviews on here. The service uses stochastics on longer time frames for trading opportunities. It is geared more towards the part-time investor looking for entertainment and chat. The website has been struggling with its subscriber base for several years now because the owner tends to attract circus freaks to his service and it has been raising prices at the wrong times. Its group of moderators are also useless, selfish, and a bunch of so called friends to the owner who take advantage of him. I think the owner is struggling to find focus in his service. Are you a radio DJ or are you a trader? Unfortunately, there are a lot of unfocused and undisciplined people in this service. I think the owner should either choose to go into the corporate world and be the Howard Stern of Wall Street and be the best damn radio talk show host he can be or focus on being a better trader without all the strange entertainment fluff. If he wants to improve his subscriber base and enhance marketing, he should use the Profit.ly platform, verify all his trades, and work with Mr. Sykes to improve his service.

After reading these fight on here. I had to check it out for myself.

Friday they had RPM giving stock advice. Oh my god, Do you even have skin in the game? How are you allowed to give advice? People have there hard earned money on the line. Scary. Your man crush on Johnny is kind of scary too. Know stop Johnny is a god, Johnny is so great, John is a magic chart reader. Look at his profits! He;s a below average trade who can mark lines on a chart. His V trade today made him $62.50 before commissions. Wow what a trade! Take Profits? What profits?

Johnny man up and put some real skin in the game is your chart reading is so good? V is an easy to trade stock. Drop $60k in its make a quick $600 bucks if you believe in your trade. Get in the game like a man. You profits on average are under $2000 a month average this year. That is $100 a trading day. I personal wouldnt wake up for that kind of money. About taking profits. I agree but caring large losses when you preach cutting them fast makes all you say a joke. Right now you have loses totaling $3500 in your portfolio. Thats getting close to 2 months of your net gains boss. so Now I have to average you down to making $75 a day. Only getting worse!

I commend your staff and followers they believe in you. I dont really know why but they do. Your theory is strong. Your es lines are good and you make some nice calls on the es, Kind of the only reason I follow alittle bit, But your chatroom is a joke of people talking about BS all the time. I'm a real trader. Even on friday, I have a small account and I made more money today then you will make all month. Trading the way you do is okay, if your betting with min 50K at a time. Make ur 1%.

Any trader out there with a smaller account good luck cause these clown cant make money on $100k good luck making money on $20K or less!

P.s I loved on Thursday at 3:30 when Johny is saying how important of moment it is then proceed to walk his stupid dog.

What a joke!

On the bright side. If you understand that most stocks follow the S&P flow They do chart the ES very well. As for them calling out things that are popping. Yes they do it but its only 20 to 50 cents so play big money or dont waste your time. They all pull back!

B.S. freak show

Ok - so I pissed myself laughing....and could not resist to let everyone know what a joke of a place day trading radio really is.

Although the main page will be changed tomorrow here is a copy / paste of what Johnny wrote on his website as to how the markets will re-act today and for the rest of the week. For document sake - he was saying that today Wednesday July 8th, 2014 through the end of the week it will be a DOUBLE RED ARROW down....BIG downside to the market. This is what Johnny wrote to all HIS PAYING AND NON PAYING MEMBERS



Market Radar for Rest of the Week (7-8-14). Downside Signals Pointing to Bigger Drop



posted by daytraderockstar

Jul 08, 2014 7:32 pm

In this video, I discuss two major signals that have me calling for for more downside. The signal I am looking for is the failure of this 60 min short time frame oversold signal. I haven't seen a set up like this in months. Is this more of a pure technical move or a move based on some geo-political events happening around the world? Specifically in Israel. I also have a great scalp set-up for this week and some great shorts lined up. Overall a great week at DTR and looking to continue...



Hmmmm - a great week? Yesterday the market dropped 16 points and he was bullish...not ONE mentioned of a short ALL day long, so at night he wrote how the market will be major down the next day.....does this guy even know what he is talking about?

Today FOMC minutes came out and he was out eating lunch - when he came back 30 mins after the release of the mins he was all jacked up like he was half in the bag - he was showing pictures of his newly grown beard saying how homeless people don't ask him for change anymore when he walks around the streets of Nyack - then he got all fired up on air and it sounded like he was jumping up and down saying "look at this market it is a stud!"

So Johnny wrote a review of the market the night before preparing all members and non-members for a big drop in the markets and then he jumps up and down saying look at the "rockstar affect" when the market actually went AGAINST him!

Shit show is the best way to describe this place......

Going to change my pants as I pissed myself again laughing at what a joke this place is! $50.00 bucks a month? Dam - what else could you do with your money?!?!!? LOL!

Keep it up DTRS.....or as I like to say DBDB - Dirt Bag Douche Bag - You may convince a few but once they are at your site for a while your true colors come shining through......oh your true colors.....hmmm is that not a song? Oh ya you would know that one as you are a better D.J. / radio host then trader........but I see that Dilafng already pointed that out to everyone!!!

Flip flop and back and you may just get it right one day! Maybe u need to move to Florida one more time!!!! lol!

Chat Room - Anything Goes....Even Racist Jokes

I feel the need to have a say in this after something I just read. It was so disturbing I printed a copy of it.

I don't mind an ethnic joke at all. The funnier the better, if they are in good taste and without true offense. I'm half Italian and if you told me "TONY" stood for the "TO New York" after arriving from Italy at Ellis Island, and I'd heard it for the first time, I'd laugh and tell you one about your own ethnicity.

A moderator posted this "joke" before Thanksgiving. And the worst part is that the guy on the microphone, Johnny AKA The Day Trading Rock Star, didn't say anything that I heard, nor did he write anything on the board. If he did then by all means let him post a copy of what he stated here for the record. No "I apologize" now because he got called on it. But I guess he couldn't speak because the guy behind "@gas" sells a trading system he has to get a piece of.

I coached young African-American kids who were from a nearby orphanage while I played HS basketball as that was an outreach program at my Catholic school. I never took note of their color. I just tried to make a difference in their lives as I had two parents and they had none. But here's the really disturbing part. I'm told the man who said this is a doctor. Well in my book he is no man at all, nor is anyone running a business who didn't ban his tail immediately (I assume he is white and privileged) for these words:

Why don't people in the ghetto celebrate thanksgiving?

KFC isn't open on holidays

Really nice. Tremendous talk to break-up a slow day. So that's what being a comrade in the chat room is all about, eh Sunny? I wonder if there is much talk about how many high school graduates went on to be crappy postal workers?

I wish I could rate this site a minus 5

let the music play

love how he takes requests for song. this is a good service through and through. I subscribed for a short while but the noise in the background sounds like some type of trading pit and it can be annoying - especially if you have a TV on too.

DayTradingRadio - Where are the Hundreds of Professionals?

RJ wrote a review (and refused to remain civil) that I believe many would find amusing. But let's deal with just two statements

The Friday show: RPM is a fill-in for and RJ complimented him on his market insight, which I find to be quite dodgy when I have tuned in. He should be a wealthy man if you are correct, should he not?

RJ, I've heard this individual has blown his meager account out many times, Yet he is on the air and you say his advice is sound. Care to address that issue?

Next let's deal with the regular attendance of "professionals". Can you name them? I make this enquiry as I've read the bollocks ad soliciting members that reads "trade with hundreds of professional traders". Where are these hundreds hiding? Can you name one for the reader? Just name one professional trader who is regularly posting trades in the main room.

If you are going to come on any review site and, IMO, make statements that are misleading you should have that manhood, "Mr. NY Tough Guy", to back your words up with some facts.

As others have requested, where is the accountancy? No P/L statement of trades and a reason as to why DTRS has underperformed a simple buy-and-hold? Should anyone listen to any individual who cannot outperform the indices? I say not.

You appear to have been an advertizement - nothing more. You probably have a free membership to boot and had to carry your weight. You are a very sad man.

DayTradingRadio-Best site bar none !

I have been a member of DTR for 4 years now. I am a day trader doing mostly option scalps on high beta stocks as well as longer term swing trades of the same. Before finding DTR I was a lone trader trying to make sense of trading and the markets in real time while also attempting to do technical analysis at the same time....alone. Anyone who has attempted this knows how difficult this can be. And lonely. Since finding this amazing community my profits have increased and my knowledge and technical analysis skills have reached a level that quite frankly surprises even me. John, the founder, known as Day trader rock star is one of the best technical analysis educators i have ever come across. His simple, no nonsense approach to charting patterns, and technical analysis of the few and very accurate technical indicators has ramped up my trading and maybe more importantly my non-trades based on his timing techniques. I would also like to mention Paul known as RPM. He is the IT support man for this site and his work to that end has been incredible, not to mention his personal attention to any member who may have a technical problem having nothing to do with their membership ! AMAZING! try to find that somewhere else. I challenge you! He also fills in from time to time when John needs to be away from the market whether it be for an hour, a day or a week. His insight in fantastic and doent even pretend to be DTRS's equal, just a humble member of this fine community doing his part to keep us all informed and plugged in. Kudos RPM !! As well, the community of helpful and willing members (no competition amoung them, only help and guidance) give a trader such as myself someone to bounce ideas off of which many many times has alerted me to something i overlooked in my own analysis. This my friends is the most valuable tool any trader can hope for...an educated, well versed and interested sounding board. ALSO as I mentioned earlier, we all know how lonely this career can be. At Day Trading Radio, along with the valuable education and team work, there is much needed levity and entertaining bantor plus real time interaction with the members in the chat room. He plays amazing music ( which can be lowered or turned off with the AMAZING dashboard) most songs of which are member requests. He allows us to know him as a person, his likes, dislikes and maybe most importantly How he trades. As we all know no trader makes 100% successful trades as some earlier posters here seem to expect ! lol. Grow up people. I have seen some bad reviews here and i must say these people, I wont even call them traders, expect something super human out of this site when all along it is itself a tool, not the be all and end all. If you blindly follow anyone into and out of trades without doing your own due diligence you get what you deserve! People have very different account sizes and therefore very different risk tolerance, yes seem to blame the Day Trader Rock Star for being able to ride out a poor entry (which believe me is not often). If you cant afford anything more than a limited downside then use stops people !!! Swing trades as DTRS does often are meant to be scaled into and at a pace and risk level that suits you. Some malcontents expect to just blindly follow a man into trades, ecactly the way he does, without any care for their own risk tolerance, then blame this amazing talent for their ill managed trades. I guess admitting they are horrible risk managers and traders is not tolerable in their own little bitter world of doom, gloom and darkness. I can attest to how this man and this site has contributed to my success as a pro trader and all i can do is scream at the top of my lungs to join this community and judge for yourself !! I simply could no longer stand by and watch some of these ridiculous and bitter post go unanswered ! As i said earlier I have been a member for 4 years and will remain a member until I no longer do this professionally. DAY TRADING RADIO is the best value on the internet and finest community of traders I have ever found, and is lead by the best technical analyst I have ever had the pleasure of working with ! Keep up the AMAZING work John, and thank you for all you do !!!!!! If DTR charged 10 times its monthly fee it would still be the best value I have evr come across! Thank you again !!!!
