I received this feedback from an attendee of The PlayBook<\/a> webinar series.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was only on the webinar for about 15 minutes, so perhaps this is an unfair comment….. \u00a0But, I thought the seminar seemed to be more about how cool you SMB guys were than providing good useable info. \u00a0I personally would evaluate the seminar on the quality of the material shared than the trading\/presentation skills of the presenter. \u00a0In my personal opinion, this is the biggest flaw of most trading sites and their pitches. \u00a0I know SMB is great, I just wish some of that wisdom was shared.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@mikebellafiore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thxs for your feedback.\u00a0 It is hard to strike a balance b\/t keeping the audience’s attention and providing awesome content.\u00a0 Some provided feedback that they found the content too intensive and asked for clarification and follow up on some trading principles discussed.\u00a0 For example, there were requests to share a Trend Trend Trade.\u00a0 Also, emails asked for me to explain a Trade2Hold.\u00a0 Finally, there were a few followups that we should explain what we mean by Reasons2Sell.<\/p>\n

The intent of The PlayBook webinar series is to outline trading set ups that you might co-opt for your trading, share how we think through trades, and provide a template for you to build your PlayBook.\u00a0 We will keep trying.<\/p>\n

At SMBU Blog we view our readers as a trading community.\u00a0 We ask for this webinar series that you provide feedback, ask questions, and in the near future start sharing your PlayBook trades.\u00a0 We are stronger together, learning, sharing, encouraging than we are apart.\u00a0 This is a tough game.\u00a0 Support matters.<\/p>\n

Kiddingly, perhaps you can make it to 16 minutes next time.
\nThxs for attending.\u00a0 Happy new year.\u00a0 Trade well.<\/p>\n
