sounds like Madoff, that is exactly what he used to do as well.. so IMO, a legitimate hedgefund wont have issues backing up their statements and returns, and still be selective with his clientele..

I know a successful hedge fund manager and he basically has a "take it or leave it" attitude with respect to his agreement. He has built up a successful client base and his agreement is very harsh...it basically says you give me your money, you don't call or ask questions and your money is tied up for not less than 1 year and there's no guarantees of anything other than a quarterly report. If you call me more than once a quarter, I'll send your money back, regardless of positive/negative spot equity. When you're successful at what you do, the best proof is word of mouth and reference by someone else. I can't believe how harsh his agreement is and he still gets clients, because he's pretty good and gets good returns.

something like this should be prove enough.

It is . Josh - Im following along with the "journal" debacle and the ensuing debate as to if "its" fake , sim , live , paranormal or whatever . What I dont understand is the WHY is it so important that you or I or anyone know beyond any shadow of a doubt if we collectively are being duped , mislead , taunted , upsold or whatever ??

Isnt it more significant that one can believe they can achieve this success then go out and do it and prove it to oneself ? Therefore one doesnt need to know or need to care what any other individual is up to or achieving ?

The question of the "journaller" attempting to upsell a method on behalf of themself or another is another issue that the mods should take care of . Its a big mistake to think one can duplicate anothers success by knowing their method because (as Ive said in the "journal" ) its not the arrow its the indian shooting the arrow . One who can reach this level of success has patience , focus , dicipline far beyond those that think they can take their method and share in the success . The successful one can take any method and score big with it .

Btw - for forex you can use this service , its real handy .

yes, have to agree. the problem is not if it's real, sim or fake. the only problem is here:

SELF-PROMOTION / ADVERTISING IN POSTS IS NOT ALLOWED! Take note - even though this section of the forum is for the discussion of Vendors and Commercial Products, there is a very strict NO ADVERTISING FOR SELF PROMOTION rule. Feel free to discuss the positive/negative benefits of a certain product or website, …

and that's not up to us to decide.

You're absolutely right Eric -- as I said in that thread yesterday, unless the OP comes back, I'm done with it, as all the arguing and such has helped my trading ZERO. Thanks for the reminder.

In fact, on that note, if a moderator sees this, would you mind closing this thread?
