Bravo Bob. I'm going to chime in with the 
other 0.5 cents.
 
For about 6 months, I was part of an internet 
"teaching room" and it *was* a b_buster job. But I enjoyed many aspects of it. 
Most of the time, the participants were fantastic. Smart, passionate and 
motivated to learn. I quit because it took too much time away from my 
programming.
 
But during those 6 months, I did see a pattern 
that tended to play out thusly (and it matched my prior experience with fellow 
daytraders):
 
You could tell almost immediately, who had the 
potential to succeed and who was going to fail at trading. It was not any 
particular character flaw. It was not about the ability to learn. It was 
just that certain combination of detachment and "feel". 
 
This certain something was much more critical to 
success than what they knew or didn't know. Those that had it, learned a lot, 
and simply got better. Those that didn't, learned just as much (sometimes more), 
but the execution simply didn't come.
 
I liken it to auto racing... either your 
"reaction time/quick analysis/abject fear" ratios are in balance, or not, 
and you learn very quickly if you're blessed with the correctly wired brain, or 
not (hopefully before you get hurt).
 
But then again, you never know until you try... 
;~)
 
Why not attend a relevant  trade show and 
look to see who the players are? I hesitate to recommend anyone because it's 
been a while.
 
Best regards,
 
Gene Pope
