I agree, as I say it's a perfectly workable straightforward strategy and analysis in my opinion. I wonder if, like some other threads, it will get polluted with 'improvements' until it ends up beyond all recognition of the original!

The probability of a good hit rate is extremely high, most of the people touting signals/systems/mentorship for sale around trading forums are scammers! If these people were experienced traders they would know that the failure stats among followers ...

I think he posts live trades doesn't he, before the move. I agree, the simpler the better suits me just fine!

And therein lies the problem, most novices by definition don't have the knowledge or experience to work out the good from the bad and are easily taken in by plausible sounding people like Jacko et al.

It's a perfectly workable straightforward strategy and analysis, what do you dislike about it? Not complex enough for you?

Oh, you again..... It's not necessarily the strategy, it's the trader. The post I was referring to was about a 10% return so far this week, and my comment was 'do it for 12 months......then maybe you'll have something to shout about'. Longevity and ...

Oh goodie, I do love a good conspiracy story, please carry on..... I think you've got that one covered

That's great (we'll assume risk was comparable), now do it for 12 months......then maybe you'll have something to shout about! As for Dem, well he was never really a consideration was he?

lol, I doubt you would get (m)any 'costumers' with either business model! Like Custos said, are you sure you've been in this business for 5 years?

lol, pip slut! Yeah I'm not sure whether it's a system or an excuse for not being able to trade, either way like you say it's an accident just looking for a place to happen.

Yes I guess that's true. You've renewed my interest in EA's! The last one I had was written by a Russian guy who didn't speak English, and as I don't speak Russian I fear quite a few important details got lost in translation (ie risk management at ...

I've never seen one which is profitable in the long term either, but then again like you say it's unlikely they would ever be openly published, they would be far too valuable. There seem to be plenty of profitable short term EA's out there though, ...

I realised that after I'd posted, the quote was taken out of context altogether which made it appear to be something else, my bad! Nevertheless you're getting a decent success rate so you must be doing something right. That's probably my biggest ...

The model might be simple, it's the implementation which causes the problems! I agree with the rest, misinformation and misguided opinion, it's a minefield out there!

Over and over, nearly as often as the seemingly never ending stop/no-stop fiasco! Oh multiple times, but I suppose that's not 'politically correct' so you'll just have to make do, lol.
