I figured out how to sell my system, all are welcome to come and BID

Discussion in 'Trading' started by confused-NOT, Dec 3, 2006.

  1. Mr. Whiner

    your posts are long, but will you please address the issue.

    your posts are not dealing with the issue at hand.

    tell you what, since you are probably a decent guy in life except here on ET where you don't have to look like a pussy

    answer this for me

    why do you believe that 100% in 5 months is impossible

    why do you believe that IF possible such a system would never be for sale

    and do you believe that we are all born with fat accounts

    and please tell us what return you make in 5 months

  2. Confused,
    One of the reasons you are being mocked here is that you have no credibility. Why should anyone take your claims seriously?

    What you SHOULD do is just go to www.collective2.com and run your system there - it will cost you $100. After 5-6 months, if your system performs even close to what you claim, then you will have all of the basis you need to at least offer it here and be taken seriously, or just keep offering it to subscribers there. You CAN make money from it, but expecting to be paid in advance is a bit unrealistic.

  3. 100% in five months is not impossible, just highly improbable for a new trader. I made (net) well over 20% in May. Do you remember what May looked like? Most of that came in a two week span to boot...

    ...Such a system is readily available (just not easy... LoL), and I give it away FOR FREE to those on ET who open their minds, and not their excessively large mouths...

    ...No we're not all born with fat accounts. In fact, I was born naked in a manger... Because I am the Son of God! (Why not make outlandish claims, after all you're making 100% and still only have $7k...) Do you really think that somebody just handed me a bunch of money and said "Go forth and Play?" No... I am self made, and still trading retail (technically speaking...)

    ...$XXX,xxx in 2005 and 2006... And I took the entire summer off from trading this year. I've been at this for a while now, and it is a lot more work than most beginners want to believe. It takes hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, trading as a career tends to lure in people who half-ass things part of the time, and completely slack off the rest of it.

    I'm not saying that I know everything there is to know about trading, I don't because I'm still learning everyday, but if you want to get serious about this, trying to sell a system to ETers is not a great way to go about it... I've had my fun here, but its winding down (you can only kick someone so many times before you feel obligated to call an ambulance... :( ) best of luck selling your system...

  4. Buyer takes no risk? Simple question, what if he loses 100k trading your wonderful system? How is your 7k account going to cover that one?

    "100 per cemt in 5 months just isn't goimg cut it"
    what do you usually make in 5 months? what is your base amount?

    you are similar to the originator of this thread.

  7. Hey Sam, is that you?!?

    What you selling now, your grandmother, a kidney, oh wow....a 'forex system'!

    Damn, I was excited too until I realised I'd been outbid by an old gum wrapper...(sigh), some you win........

    When you say 'forex system' do you mean a forex trading system that doubles money in 5 months or are you a marketmaker now and selling the platform?

  8. 100% in 4 months

    7 trades per day

    7 trades X 5 days X 4 weeks X 4 months = 560 trades (ignoring the missed week)

    So I can make 100% in 560 trades assuming there is no compounding.

    The margin of profit on each trade is so thin this is like building the World Trade Centre on an ice pond. Forex can jump like crazy so it's essential that any signal has a decent risk reward ratio - do you know what yours is?

    This is far from a pointless thread. For Confused it shows him what happens when a giddy kid wants the big boys to come and bid for a system that wouldn't make it into the "consider developing this" pile of ideas that any creative day trader has stacked on his hard drive.

    It shows what happens when someone has a good dream - a dream of creating wealth - but doesn't do the due dilligence of showing winning runs Vs losing runs, biggest drawdown Vs biggest winner etc. etc. There is little real world application here.

    If you were making 100% in 4 months based on 1 trade per day or better, 1 trade per week, you'd really have something to crow about. As for taking money off traders with this system, that would like taking a meaty bone from a hungry lion.

    I congratulate you on trying, on getting excited, and there's nothing wrong with being naive when you are short on experience. But please, do yourself a favour, trade this live for a month and post your trades in this thread. Then if you think that this level of performance is hot, perhaps a few others will and you might progress.

    As for me, I think I've been generous with my offer of $1, a date with a friend who looks such a knockout, a pint of Guiness (you're buying) and psychopathic Harvey to look after the security side of things. And that's saying nothing about my 1973 Jammydoger biscuit.

  9. YooHoo, I can't hang with your bidding war anymore. You broke me down on this one.

    When you get the new system....you are going to be wealthier than most can dream. Drop me a dime or two as I am just a trader making "less than 100% return!!

    Another missed opportunity from Focker the nurse!!

    I needed this thread for a laugh.

  10. We're not saying its impossible, we're saying it's not possible that YOU are capable of it, given the fact that:

    A) You're a part-timer with results that are based on demos.

    B) You've likely just blown out your account fading moves these past few weeks.

    Am I right? You probably did double or triple your account in a few months, only to give it all back in a fortnight. Do I win a prize?
