E-Mini Trading: Let's Start at the Beginning With No Hype

It's not unusual for me to peruse prominent (and some not so prominent) e-mini trading education sites and see what's being promoted and how it's being promoted. Often times, I find the promises and guarantees espoused on these sites appalling. On the other hand, there are a handful of training educators of Ninja Trading Bot who seem honest and realistic in the manner in which they portray e-mini trading. That being said, many of the sites promote e-mini trading as something akin to the California gold rush. It is not uncommon to see e-mini trading portrayed as a method to "get rich quick" with a minimal amount of effort.
