Debbie Crawford of TG Tradergirl... Any Opinions?

[mike21 10]

I watched a webinar today by Debbie Crawford of TG Tradergirl. http://tgtradergirl.com/

 

She a professional trader using Market Profile. I found her presentation very interesting BUT... like most webinars it was also a sales pitch for her mentoring.

 

I tried to find some reviews or other feedback to see if she's legit, but didn't find anything.

 

Anyone here have any experience with her?

 

Thanks

Call it a left-brain, right-brain thing, but I couldn't reconcile what Debbie was saying and what I saw during her free Hotmail webinar on 1-Dec-2009. I didn't see enough of her teaching style to justify the cost/time of taking her course.

I was very impressed with her webinar .. but many times I get a good first impression, but realize later .... it was just my imagination.

( happened with Jason Alan Jankovsky... he's a broken record)

I was impressed however by Tom Busby's comment in one of his books , quoted by Debbie " she has got to be one of the best traders I have ever met " .

Note I have never read this and accept it as factual heresay.

What interested me is her comment that vary rarely does she have a losing trade.... and at a loss of only 2 ES points

jmesarch,

 

I did take Debbie's class last November. I don't think it would be appropriate for me to bash or promote her on a public forum.

 

If you're considering taking her class, please pm me and I'll share my experience.

I'm surprised at how many pm's I received, and continue to receive, inquiring about Debbie Crawford.

 

The funny thing is, this thread has been buried in the bowels of TL. You can't even find it using the search function. I had to search through my own profile to find it. Not sure how these people are finding me.

 

Anyway... a quick review. I'll just say, I found Debbie's class to be a complete waste of money, and leave it at that. Others may have had a different experience.

Yes this is the same person aka tradergirl in Jpjtrading room. I have not taken her class. She did 1 or 2 minor presentations in JPJ trading room. She has some value. I assume, but do not know, that she still uses some of JPJ's stuff & chester's stuff. In summary she imho has some value. That said I would rather learn from JPJtrading.

I purchased her class and trade room. I would not spend the $1495 on it again and don't recommend her course or room. In my opinion, teaching is not one of her gifts nor is oral or written communication. She often makes intra day directional calls that are wrong but she makes them very emphatically. The benefits you get are you are in the room every time she gets new students and teaches her approach to Market Profile again and you get her trade-room with her MP real-time charts for life or as long as she's around.

 

If you are considering her room, it might be worth a call to DTI to check out her claims and see if you could gather any valuable background on her being the 2004 DTI trader of the year.

 

She is regularly trolling for new students. Why? She must need the extra income that her trading doesn't provide. She is, quite frankly, not the kind of professional trader I was looking for or lead to believe she was.

 

My suggestion would be to ask her to post her trading results and not just a list of her results but copies of her actual trading account showing her actual trades. She can blur out her account number and even total account balance. If she or anyone else selling their "teaching" or "mentoring" services wont' do that, then move on and move on quickly.

 

She is nice and likable but I don't see that she is that great of a trader. I'm not the only member of her room that has come to that conclusion as others have expressed the same sentiment in private communications. Others members of her room who have taken her course may arrive at a different conclusion.

 

All she trades is the S&P Emini. If you are not trading the S&P Mini or are not interested in trading that instrument exclusively, then her course and room are definitely not for you. I absolutely would not spend the money on her class or room again. She and her class have been a disappointment and not worth the money for me.
