I read most every book I can find on daytrading and am a successful daytrader.Recently, I attended a recent Pristine Seminar relating to supposed Pristine Methods;I did witness the postive overtones & confidence of Mr. Velez, however it was rather shocking that there was no performance validation. When I asked Mr. Velez about performance, his tone completely went from having a good time to negative by intentionally trying to smooth over not answering me while maintaining the confidence of the audience. Realizing that performance is a "sore subject" with Pristine, I explored their performance on their website and reviewed every week's postings and found there were more losses than gains. Needless to say I am quite shocked as to why you supposedly learn how to trade with Pristine: it should be titled "learn to lose with Pristine".
