YouTube vs Standard newsletter: hopefully paid subscribers
retain some benefit other than this forum? Please try
watching a subscriber version of a newsletter sometime soon when
you're planning to post to YouTube as well. I think that you may be
in You Tube viewer prespective mode and not realizing that your
paid suscribers (trying to digest things quickly for the
upcoming week) are getting a bit shorthanged by a lot of
commentary centered around mouse movements that I/we can't see with
the newsletter version behind the paywall. I completely get the
marketing push, but I personally would prefer it doesn't downgrade
my paid experience. FWIW, I love the idea of video.....I watch an
online tradnng site about 80% of every trading day and love it -
but there are a LOT of them and I don't pay a dime for any of them.
Anyway, for me it's important to be able to click through the parts
of the newsletter I want to watch. That makes the "new" version of
the newsletter behind the paywall the best option for me...except
when I can't track what you're trying to communicate because it's a
YouTube perspective.
regarding Youtube I don't plan to continue placing whole
newsletters there on a continual basis - posting a few more there
to get the channel going and will be curtailing that back with
shorter more directed videos as well as educational videos that are
not timely with respect to the current market

Than
ks Matt! Love the educational videos you post and really
appreciate the overall experiene as well. That probably
didn't come across from my post in the middle of the night
yesterday when I was stressed about the upcoming week ;) One thing
you could have mentioned that would be completely valid (In my
opinion) is the value that comes from the systems trades that are
sent only to subscribers. I know the system trades aren't 100%
because I've checked the stats, but it sure has seemed like it. I
mostly use the signals as opportunities to lift some put protection
(vice versa if it's a short signal)...but a win is a win. Hedging
can be problematic because the moment I should be taking it off or
lightening up is most often the time I start getting
emotional and
want to add protection vs taking profits on what I have in place.
The system alerts provide a valuable check. Note: In
a perfect world, maybe sometime in the future, I'd love to see the
newsletter in video format. Watching your mouse pointer
movements is very helpful. Otherwise, I find myself often pausing
the newsletter to try and figure out exactly what you are talking
about. However, I would defintiely want bookmarks on the video.
Some people do this on YouTube videos but I'm not sure how
difficult, or expensive it is to accomplish.

Glad to hear that Matt, I agree with jtsurfah. I have basically
stopped looking at the newsletter on Youtube days. Thanks for all
your great work with the site in general though.
