Nowadays new traders are more likely to have learned about futures trading from newer gurus such as Larry Williams or one of the late night infomercial kings, very often sponsored by a brokerage.

Ken Roberts gained a lot of notoriety among professional futures traders, (perhaps part of which was green envy) as an unscrupulous vendor with a system that no longer worked and which did more harm than good to the newbie trader.

In latter years it has become obvious just how difficult it is to teach someone to trade profitably, and some of the systems and methods that were decried as useless have enjoyed a resurrection.

Who knows if the same will apply to Ken Roberts, TWMPMM and his 123 formations!
