New BBT website layout

[Juan Antonio Suanzes 8]

Hi everybody,

 

I just realized there has been a big change in the Educacion Center. Suddenly, with this new layout, I have lost tracking of all the videos I had already seen, which is pretty inconvenient as I am not sure anymore about what I have or haven't watched. Plus, as a Pro Member of BBT there a LOT of videos I am not able to access anymore. Basically all the interesting videos about strategy that I have been going through in the last months...

Is this a something BBT wanted to do? Suddenly for the same price and in the middle of my learning path am I not able to access the most valuable side of being part of the Education center? 

PLEASE tell me this is not happening because it would really make me rethink about my relationship with the BBT website...

I would just want to keep learning from you guys without having to pay an extra $100 a month. Which for some of you might not be a big deal, but it is definitely for some members as myself. I understand the old way of not being able to access live webinars and the psychology part of the learning. But this change (without notice? At least I wasnot aware of it) is really frustrating me at moment.

Please tell me I am missing something!

Thank you, Juan

I share the same concern as Juan; those videos were crucial and one of the main reasons why I liked BBT in the first place. Please let us know when we are going to be able to watch those again.

@Henrique Goldmann @Juan Antonio Suanzes

Please post the title of the videos you are concerned with so I can provide you with some more detailed information

All strategy videos under "webinars" are unable. Before, it wasn't because I was watching them; Now the only ones available are the really basic videos, which is a bummer to me.

I understand BBT is trying to capitalize on the good videos, but I feel it is unfair for members like me that joined months ago and had the chance to watch those great content and now I no longer can access it.

@Henrique Goldmann You will continue to see the BBT essential strategy section grow over the next few months with new videos designed to cover the strategies in a more in depth and detailed way.

 

[Juan Antonio Suanzes 8]

I cannot beleive you are doing this without notice and in the middle of a running month. This is outrageous! 

So overnight I was paying for this thing and today I am paying for much much less and your answer is "the section will grow over the next few months"? Seriously? What am I supposed to do meanwhile? 
How about you let people access to what we paid for while that section grows, give proper notice about the changes so people can decide if is still interested or not and THEN make the change???

I am really really annoyed by all this and I hope Andrew or whoever is responsible for this change have a second thought or you are losing a customer and somebody very enthusiastic about this community that has been recommending it and Andrews books until today sudden changes.

I completely agree with you my friend

Hi,

Im a new trader in the BBT Community, currently in the studying stage of my Day Trading journey, I love change and it is nice to see that the education center is being updated and hopefully easier to navigate for new users, but I am extremely disappointed in the fact that it was updated without notice and other traders including myself have lost track of their progress. It would've been very helpful for everybody affected in the community if there was an email announcement sent out prior to the update even happening and to give us time to able to manually save our progress and the courses that we have already completed.

I could be wrong but as a lifetime member it seems several videos/sections were removed. Can someone from the mod team please clarify. @Andrew Aziz

There's a lot of concern in this thread which I do believe should be addressed. 

Thanks all.

I could be wrong but I thought "webinars" are only available to the former "lifetime members" or the new Elite members. is it changed?

I do agreed that major layout changes should be notified prior.

@JamesS the problem is because the videos we are talking about are NOW unavailable. I feel like they are pushing us to buy the elite membership in order to access the stuff we already did before which is in my opinion a dick move

[Juan Antonio Suanzes 8]

I think they should at least respect the availabilty for people that had already access for those videos @Andrew Aziz

[Juan Antonio Suanzes 8]

Although I was clearly not happy about how all the transition was handled, I decided to stay in the community. 
I still think is worth it and a great place for trading and learning.

I have seen that more videos have being added to the Essential Training section, although I am still kind of upset for having lost access to a lot of super helpful webinars...

Anyways, we will see each other around!

Safe trading all of you!

I am by no means a moderator on this website.

 

However, if it is true that the content you formally had available to you is no longer available mid-payment cycle:

You are all correct that, ethically, you should have been grandfathered in because whenever you initially made the transaction to join Bear Bull Traders, you did so with those services as a part of your purchasing reasons.

Obviously Bear Bull Traders can change how they run their website as they see fit as long as there isn't anything written in black and white being violated.

 

Changing the services being offered without any, obvious, official, notice on the services removed from the current rate is incontrovertibly unethical.

(which whatever the notice was, if there was one, was clearly not obvious if these comments are here)

 

This kind of thinking without accountability is propagated by (I won't say whom) several members and moderators unfortunately, extending to several aspects of trading.

For example:

 

It may be an unpopular opinion, but if an execution is incorrectly made in a traders account, a platform malfunctions, or any other mechanical/technical error outside of the trader's control causes loss to that trader's account, it is the right (AND should be encouraged) that the trader at a loss (if for legitimate reasons) seeks out compensation on behalf of the defective institution. 

THAT IS HOW ETHICAL BUSINESSES ARE RUN.

 

I 100% agree that Interactive Brokers, DAS, and the exchanges are not always going to work properly.

 

In regular life this is akin to buying a car from a dealership, and as you take an exit off the highway, the brakes don't work.

If you hit the back of another car, hit a person, or crash into an inanimate object because you were (correctly) assuming that the brakes would work,

it is either, LEGALLY, going to be the car manufacturers or the dealerships fault.

 

Similarly, if my broker, platform, or the exchange performs an action ON MY BEHALF that is incorrect and out of my control, I should (rightly) seek compensation from them.

This is not a question of who is "right or wrong" morally. 

This is just simple logic, the liability for actions that are out of the consumer's control, ethically, the providing institution is responsible for.

 

I have not had an issue with my platform or broker for quite some time, but I have seen others get completely destroyed by glitches at the wrong time with their data feed not related to their internet connection.

It is an Elitist Mentality to discourage people from seeking out compensation and extremely demeaning to make fun of them for doing so on a live stream.

 

Similarly, it is an Elitist Mentality to not inform those you collect money from that your services have changed in their quality without notice (accountability) while paying the same rate.

 

This mindset clearly extends into other aspects of the site and I hope that this reaches eyes that don't recoil at truth, but I hope they try to improve from it.

I will gladly delete this comment if this is publicly rectified.

It is certainly in BBT's best interests to address this.
