I wouldnt share the Holy grail either. It doesnt work if too many use it.

It doesn't work if too many use it "AS THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO BE USED".

From what I have seen of traders.... 99% of them will alter the system to suit themselves, declare that it doesn't really work and move on to something else.

I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

lol, yup - exactly, which goes hand-in-hand with FatTails comment above.

i think we have a workable business model, gentlemen. now let's get to work, immediately. cut ALL development budgets by 80% and redirect all those moneys towards marketing, advertising, testimonials, and wardrobe for the guru.

cheers,

Two, wow That is like the guy who had 9 winning trades and declared himself "successful" now at trading.



Why not put it on C2, charge $1000-2000 a month and cap it at say 100 extra contracts so it won't distort your method while also bringing in an extra 100k a month...

Mike

Haha funny.

Ok, do what I did, say before that on a certain day *you say what day* you will only make 2 trades and say that those trades will be 100% winners. Then do it live, announce the trades before they will happen on skype like I did, and then do the trades. And then make sure that these trades were 100% winners.

Sure, Bigmike, go ahead, be my guest. I haven't seen that from you. Well you have seen it from me, you can't ignore that right ?

Trying to say that I only did 2 trades in a long period and nothing else or that I was just lucky or that I'm not profitable makes you look what ? Jealous ?

I can't recollect seeing the trades. Could you show/announce the trades again ?

Lolu

I would be glad to do that again but first I want somebody like bigmike do the same as I did.

Impressive... but, I think trading is hard enough already without the added pressure of a challenge

Metal you can't be serious. You are proclaiming you have found the holy grail, and are offering as proof that you called 2 winning trades.

I am not claiming I have found the holy grail, because I know better. There is no perfect "system". There is no perfect "method". The closest thing is experience which will allow you to adapt.
