@Coulter From my personal experience as an administrator of the Slack group, I think we can debunk your theory . I have never come across a user in the Slack that did not first know who Luc was, almost universally they discover the community via his Steemit post announcing the Slack or they watched a video on YouTube. There is a questionnaire that must be filled out before anyone can join the QuickFingersTraders Slack group, we use this to assure that the members joining understand what they should expect when they join the community. At the very beginning of the questionnaire it says "Welcome to the QuickFingersTraders Slack. a community of cryptocurrency traders who practice the reactive position trading method as taught by QuickFingersLuc (https://steemit.com/@quickfingersluc). To learn how to trade, we suggest you start watching QuickFingersLuc’s tutorials (https://steemit.com/@quickfingersluc) from July 1st 2017 onward. Community member @Imalive0 has created a document that helps to explain QuickFingersLuc's trading methodology in a step by step manner, you may find this useful to read while watching Luc's tutorials. (https://sites.google.com/view/trading-steps/home)".
With that said, not everyone watches/reads all of Luc's content before joining the Slack. I've frequently spoken to members who only watched one or two videos, and were not aware of the library of content he has provided us. People join the community from all walks of life, and all experience. The Slack was designed to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced traders alike, its a community for anyone who is interested in reactive position trading. Some of the regulars in the community find the inexperienced users to be a distraction but I disagree, I find them to be a breath of fresh air! You can learn a lot from an inexperienced person if you take the time out to teach them what you have learned, it helps re-enforce the concepts in your own mind. While your busy saving less experienced trader's butts (like Luc does!), it helps you to become a better trader at the same time. That is a clear win-win in my book!
@tizzle I agree with you wholeheartedly about helping the inexperienced. The same thing happened to me when I started teaching singing. My personal progress as a singer of classical music soared when I started to teach. When the same problems arose I found I had to explain the same concepts differently because each person learns differently.
Luc's efforts on his blog and videos are tremendous as he will sometimes say something slightly differently than he did before (there's a good reason to continue making videos @quickfingersluc, even if you already convered the topic).
I also appreciate the efforts of @tizzle @hodlgod @pelt @oneluckyflip @Luckystrike @imalive0 and @borian in the slack. They (and others) have enlightened me a little differently (I still need to fully understand buy walls). I enjoy participating there and sharing what I have learned along with a few of my successes.
I also appreciate @unknowtrader for creating the forum since I found searching in Slack (and sometimes using Slack) confusing.
I also know that the inexperienced who take the time to watch all of the @quickfingersluc videos, participate in the Slack, this Steemit blog and the forum will become the teachers later.
Let's all continue to help each other.

Good to know! I guess I just see a lot of the same questions asked over and over, a lot of which are answered in the videos. It's not a big deal. I'm new to trading as well, so I understand. Thanks for all the work you do, it's a great community.

Hi tizzle, I am with you on this one, however I have watched almost all of Luc's videos on Youtube, matter of fact I watch some repeatedly for last one week from where I have discovered some of the scanners he talked about and also the slack community. I am not so good at using slack, I tried to search for the community on slack couldn't find it. How do I will appreciate if you can help on how I can join the slack community?

The gateway to the Slack channel is currently down. Is there another way to join? Thank you!

Hey @tizzle I just noticed last night that I actually received an invite or was approved to the Slack group in my emails, However when I went to go thru the link, It said the link wasnt valid anymore. My email is [email protected] and my Slack name is crypto1on1 so is there anyway you could resend?
