Our lock failed at midnight on our…

Our lock failed at midnight on our return home. I Googled emergency locksmiths and contacted this company who said they would be with us in 25 mins. After he drilled out the lock, leaving a complete mess in the porch, he quoted for a new high security lock and back plate. However,the final bill was a gob smacking £1246.80 for an hours work and new lock. It wasn't until we had paid and he had left and I was clearing the mess he left, that realisation dawned we had paid a ridiculous amount of money to be back in our home. Be warned, a complete rip off with shoddy work. Loads of wood filling to be done. So disappointed. On top of that, in retrospect he never said about a call out charge, and without meaning to be prejudiced, it was very difficult to understand him. I still can't believe we didn't confront him at the time.

I first came across James about 5 years…

I first came across James about 5 years back. I was always impressed with his knowledge. Though my overall impression is that he's more keen on taking money for courses despite what he says.
I was one of the 20 or so novice traders from around the world on the live Skype course he ran for short while about 5 years back until things went pear shaped and he just abandoned us and left us to our devices :(
I will say that It hurt us as we trusted the guy. That said dispite everything I still make money when I make time trade (and I will say it does take time as I need to get back into my system) so something must have been good.
Bonne chance.

Honest genuine and realistic

I have completed both of James's courses and thoroughly enjoyed them. Trading is difficult, it really is. There are so many scams out making ridiculous claims and it’s easy to convince yourself that what they are saying is believable, however James Orr is not one of them. His honesty and skill at teaching shines through on his free youtube channel and is replicated in his paid courses. I believe it takes up to a year/year and a half of dedication to start to become consistent however if you are genuinely interested in improving this skill then it an enjoyable journey and the Decisive Trading strategy and subscription service is a fantastic platform to start from and it works.
PS I have no idea what the one star reviews below are going on about, it's certainly not this course/service.
Thank you James.

I would like to thank you James for changing the way I trade. After countless hours of study, charting, and blowing up numerous accounts, you with a couple of seemingly small tips have made me more consistently profitable. I like your honest, caring and conservative approach. You have a significant morality in the advice and mentoring you provide. A very big thank you and I look forward to joining your program within the next few weeks.

UNETHICAL TRADING

Worst trading company of the year???

I just wanted to now if anyone had any information of Clear Capital Markets. They claim to be a bespoke stock market advisory firm, but the evidence I have seen as led me to seriously question the ethics of this firm,

A good friend of mines grandad (80 years old) was cold called by the firm, having supposedly downloaded a report (so they said). Even though he has a shares account with Hargreaves and never downloads any online materials!

Clear Capital then sold him into trading CFD's even though he had hardly any idea what he was doing. The upshot was they lost him tens of thousands of pounds in a very short space of time. (less than 3 months)

My friend is very upset with the company and wants to know if anyone else had had similar experiences with the company because surely a fca regulated company shouldn't be dealing older people in high risk products??

Has anyone had any dealing with this unethical firm???

Hi Martin.

If you have questions like this, you can email us using the contact form at our website - https://www.decisivetrading.info/contact

I am sorry to hear of the trouble your friend has had. I have never had any dealings with Clear Capital markets or heard of them, but that is besides the point if they are FCA regulated and have acted in the manner you have stated.

If they are FCA regulated, they have a duty of care to their customers. One of the things they must do is make absolutely sure that the customer has the knowhow and experience to trade the instrument they are offering.

If they convinced someone with little experience (and also 80 years old) to trade CFDs then you should have a good case against them. Any correspondence will have been recorded (on phone or by email).

Contact the company and ask to speak to their compliance department and explain what has happened. If that fails, go to the FCA.

Hope that helps.

There is better out there free...

Most of what you get is freely available on the Internet. It's a pretty crude methodology of reafong candle charts.
There is no strategy behind the method, it's discretionary. 80%fail rate.

Far better looking at order flow with a combination of market profile, that is pure price action.

**update
Yes I am a customer. Namely the £188, 5 min time frame. Like I say all freely available and better.
The YouTube content is occasionally good.

It's far better to walk the talk.

Very defensive response. Interesting that you are passive aggressive and not curious as to why I'm not happy being served freely available material.

Just want to warn others

Hi Will - further to your updated comment, I have logged onto Teachable (who host all of our courses) and searched for 'Will'. There is no Will or William enrolled in Zone Trader. The records go back 3 years.

It also really surprises me that you say the material is 'freely available'. A huge portion of the course is very specific and designed by me, including candle paramaters, key price levels, entry levels etc. This has come from what I have learned over tha past seven years, trading full time. It cannot be available elsewhere, because it is specific to what I do. The course has also had three major overhauls, as it updates alongside my continually evolving trading methods.

I am however pleased that you enjoy the YouTube channel. It is one of the largest in the UK and continues to grow daily.

Again - all the best.



Hi Will. The fact that you use the word 'discretionary' and then state an '80% fail rate' shows that you lack a basic understanding of the English language as well as the markets.

You are not a student of mine unless you have taken one of the free, introductory courses aimed at beginners.

I wish you all the luck in your future.

I was lucky

I was lucky. When I learnt that such a thing as day trading existed it also came with a mention of the name Decisive Trading. Otherwise I could have spent £,000s on courses to little effect, based on the experience of a friend.

Decisive Trading provides a huge amount of content and much of it is free. It means you can learn the basics before committing time and money. The courses (I've completed Zone Trader and Round Forex Trader) are a very reasonable cost compared to anything else out there. The content is easy to follow, you have unlimited access, and the courses are updated (at no cost) from time-to-time.

I've met James Orr and he is a genuine nice guy, committed to education and development of traders. If I ever have a question I know I can email and receive an informed answer. If you are interested in the subject of trading then there is no need to look any further.

I have been studying foreign currency…

I have been studying foreign currency trading for more than 15 years, and this is the most accurate and realistic approach I have found. James Orr opened my eyes to reality. He helped me with my weaknesses and turn them into my strongest points. I owe him so must for making my dream becoming a reality. His support was very genuine because he shared his losses and his winnings and explains them clearly. This business is so complicated and we can loose so much and so fast, but we embarked on a day to day journey together through his videos, and my eyes opened up at the right rate that they should. He responds to his e-mails with care and attention. His success come from a sober effective work strategy that never fails. Listen to him!

The best out there!

By luck I found James on my Youtube suggested videos about 1.5 years ago, I immediately started following him and watching his free videos which opened up the way I now see the market. I then purchase his Zone Trader program and since then James has made several updates to the material and the trading program without charging a single penny more for it.
I admire him and as he is always improving on his methodologies and sharing it with his students.
James is always within reach via email to clarify any questions and that is very important to me.
He has inspired me and I keep on working on myself to eventually quit my day job.

Awesome!

Straight forward, no B/S! Very informative and a great teaching style. I've watched countless videos and learned a LOT from James and the team.

Thank you for taking the time to create this great content!

Getting the right education

I have been a subscriber with Decisive Trading for almost 2 years. In that time I have slowly gone from losing money, to breaking even, to finally having my account in regular profit. I can't thank James enough for his help, guidance, dedication, honesty and hard work. You are being taught a life time skill and if you are serious about trading for a living, Decisive Trading will give you the right education you need to achieve your trading goals.

Defiantly the best trading education you can get out there as a beginner

When i first started trading i had trouble finding a mentor or someone that can teach me the basics of trading because there are A LOT of scammers out there teaching you a lot of BS just to get your money.

James Orr is a really calm and realistic mentor with a lot of knowledge about trading, He will tell you everything even if you don't like the reality of the situation. As of the time of writing this review i have 2 years of experience . In my 2 year of trading experience i spent 1 year learning and trading demo accounts and 1 year now with my live account. I still watch all of his videos on youtube and visit all free seminars for beginners because he really reminds you a key thing you forget when you are trading every day, and that is how simple trading really is.

Im still on my way to one day do this full time but until then i must say a big thank you to James and all people who made decisive trading possible, i hope i can shake your hand one day and thank you for all the things you taught me.

I would highly recommend James Orr as a teacher to beginner traders looking for proper education

Finally a coach who tells it as it

Finally, a coach who tells it as it is and style of teaching helps clarify that although trading is risky if you put in the work and follow a process it's more than possible to learn how to trade profitably

Excellent Courses

Excellent materials. Found DT after a year of failing to get anywhere using expensive trading courses. Within 6 months my whole approach to trading changed and I'm now profitable! Can't thank James enough for all of his help and support.

With so many trading sites out there

With so many trading sites out there, I was relieved when I came across Decisive Trading. I was new to trading but Decisive Trading was so straight forward and helpful. The courses available were not only incisive but they were so much cheaper than the rest of the sites I had looked at. I took the courses after watching the free YouTube videos, and I enjoyed them. I hate lots of Jargon and at Decisive Trading it was kept to a minimum and it was always clearly explained. After no time at all I was confident in trading, but always had the online support when I needed to ask questions. I can not recommend them enough. Thanks Decisive Trading.

Decisive Trading is one of very few…

Decisive Trading is one of very few trustworthy organisations that genuinely cares about outcomes rather than profits. James's approach is geared towards student learning and in doing so creating the right trading foundations including the right mindset in order to succeed with one's own trading goals. I would go as far as saying if you are serious about your trading goals, to look no further.
