'my challenge to all of you with half a brain, roll up your sleeves and help figure this out and we'll all be better off !!! :-)'
I don't take challenges where the potential loss outweigh the benefits. Good luck to all who do ![]()  'those that can't take the $1000 loss should consider seeking a refund' I would hope that everyone trading could take a $1,000 loss (eventually at least). After all the more you lose the more you win, if you're doing things right. The point is not taking a $1,000 loss. The point is, are the FRWC EAs worth $1,000. I personally don't feel that they are, and I don't care to spend anymore time tinkering with them. I see how they work now, and it's definitely not my style. Other people may love them. Whatever people decide... make sure you know when to cut your losses, it's one of the hardest parts of trading. |

madmatz.. now with the last post I totally agree...
it's not for the consumer to sit and figure out how these EA's work...I think that should come with the $1000 price tag. These guys aren't selling a group of winning EA's they are selling HYPE!!!! that's why this is such a let down...when the wheels fall off...LOL |

I understand your position, and hence my PS to FRWC at the end (Yes they do read the forums ;-) ) However I'm not going to wait or rely on FRWC coming up with what is overdue - some of these EA's while not where they need to be are, are pretty close, there are 3 camps here IMO, those who cash out, those who hang on to see what happens, and those who work out the bugs or find work arounds to make it work for themselves Some of the demo's I have are still positive, just nothing like FRWC return examples / hype - I personally never hoped for 300%, I'm happy with 15% a month myself and if the loss side of the house can be reduced, for a robot - they will be good enough to recoup significantly more than the initial investment relatively quickly. I don't hold anybody's decision against them and respect madmatz point, we all have different things to do with our time / money. Personally when the wheels come off, I pick myself up dust myself off, put the wheels back on as best I can and role on down the road - others react differently, that's their call. |

Also for those with interest, I found this post from Jeff over on forexmachines dot com
Use it for what it's worth but there are some interesting setting variations here to be tested as well as some alternate trading strategy here i.e. One Robot does not always fit all so maybe you just have SV or the SV portion of fusion turned on on your account when things are going sideways - again just things to consider that I don't hear many people discussing / testing - I'm going to set something up to play around some of this on the weekend - if it looks interesting I'll post findings. ---------. have reviewed the results from several fusion accounts, and they all say the same thing. The Hirider bot is making all the money in the account. In one account I looked at, that was making money, it had made 80% of the profit. Both LMD and Super Volcano lose a lot of trades due to how they work. LMD is a swing trade bot so if you dont get large moves in your favor it won’t make money! If you look at LMD’s profit chart from the contest you notice that it only made money in 2 large runups in the account, the rest of the time it was losing money. LMD is more of a long term bot and super Volcano is unstable in hard trending markets because of how it trades it is only good in sideways and slow trending markets. If you look at how GBP/JPY trades, every time it tanks or rockets up, which is multiple times per year, Super Volcano will probably destroy your account at those times. You NEED to be able to think for yourself and figure these things out. The people at FRWC cant do everything for you. For those of you that put fusion on live accounts right away, if you had waited and used you brain to understand how the bots work first, you wouldn’t be down on your account. I have been working with them for 2 weeks now and I haven’t put any on a live account yet. |

lorak, You can learn a lot from tinkering, hopefully you learn some good stuff. I respected the FRWC's original concept however, a few things rubbed me the wrong way. The first and biggest, was the first fusion account that they had posted for a few days. Remember, the live account that was controlled by FRWC and trading .02 fixed lots on FXCM MT4? Well, when that one mysteriously disappeared with absolutely no explanation, I thought that was very counter to their mantra of transparency, and a new revolution in the way of selling/marketing EAs. (e.g. no hype, and full disclosure) So where did the original fusion account go? Well it tanked and FRWC stopped trading it, removed it from their website, and replaced it with the Live account from the FAP turbo guy, and a demo account. That also struck me as odd... Why is the FRWC selling Fusion, yet only trading it in a demo account? I mean a $1,000 account is really nothing, especially for them (1 sale of Royal Trader). Not to mention it shows a lack of confidence in your product. I mean, if you went to buy a child car seat from the 'Kids Safe-T Store' and you asked; 'Do you use this car seat for your children?' And, the salesman replied; 'No, I don't. But you know what... I let my 5 year old daughter use it to play with her favorite doll. Look there she is now using that car seat! It works GREAT!' So how about it... Would you buy the car seat, and trust it with the safety of your kids? It kind of felt like that when I saw that all go down. The other huge red flag was Fusion itself being used to hype the sale of the contest EAs, boasting 354.37% NET profit in 19 days FLAT. This was used to generate mass hype, however Fusion was only disclosed after it was profitable. MARKETING TRICK. Why do I say that? Because they could have had 10 or more combinations all running real dollars. Guess which one becomes Fusion... the one that profited the most. And, worst case if none of them would have profited, Fusion would not have existed for the launch of this sale. Now, it's obvious that the trading was extremely risky, and that those results would not continue. There was potential there though, which is why I chose to investigate these EAs further. And last, just the usually marketing tactics. Watered down of course but, still there. Of course, my biggest reason for passing on these FRWC EAs is not simply these reasons, though they all reinforced my decision. My biggest reason is, that I don't like the methods used by most of the EAs, and I don't feel that there is $1,000 worth of value there. LMD is the only one I have any interest in, and only because of the entry method the EA uses. I think it needs some work still. Nothings, to say that FRWC couldn't find some good EAs in the future but, it's just not there now, in my opinion. By the way if anyone is interested in that original Fusion Account running .02 fixed lots by FRWC, I have it tracked here: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/madmatz/official-frwc-fusion-v/19484/EdWjW1aiGditFpv1T2EF |

Honestly if you backtest enough with any EA over a few months period you can find decent setting, that will work with the current market conditions...
ta da I give you 5 ea's from the FRWC things change, they tank will these ea's work ??? maybe with a lot more R&D hey I'm still using forex auto pilot.... 2 years later I think I just got the hang of it. |

Bitching and whining? Being honest about this crap EA
and these Fusions clowns is bitching? Hey, calling it like it is has nothing to do with whining or bitching. Now, if someone still insists on defending this crap, then I have to seriously question their ethics, integrity, and even their intelligence. There is nothing to defend here regarding Fusion and their clowns peddling this thing. Now, do we have the permission to trash you daily in here relentlessly if these blowhards do not give a refund? Fusion sucks, Plimus sucks, and these clowns suck. Now, is this whining? Certainly more real and useful than coming in here and still talking utter nonsense as if Fusion has any merit. Roll up the sleeves? Are you freaking joking me? Again, there is no merit here and there is nothing to tweak. Nothing to configure and nothing left to figure out. Every smart trader, who have either experience in trading or programming EAs, clearly saw that this sucks from week one. How long do you have to stare at it and hope and hope and hope to see that it indeed sucks. And it sucks royally. I am just trying to make sure that nobody else gets sucked into this when these clowns of course conveniently open the doors for sales for 'limited' time. More truly insulting metaphors. And more nonsense and pretense. Wrong again. When something fails, you have the obligation to tell people that it sucks and steer them away from it. Not dust yourself off and say, 'oh well... that didn't work out... next'. There is something very crooked going on here with Fusion and these clowns... and the proper and respectable thing to do is scream that it sucks. OK? Dukascopy rules !!! |

For refund, now they say we need to demo for 30 days not 30 days from purchase date. They seem to be changing words. Do you think they have intention to refund at all?

I hear your position :-) Understand, I'm not defending FWRC, I'm just trying to be objective about where we are and the options those who bought have. And to clarify my ethics (not sure why you used that word here) - Let me be clear for anybody reading this forum next year or the year after when FRWC open things up again - DO NOT BUY IN UNLESS FRWC HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUES DISCUSSED IN THIS FORUM AND OTHERS, THEIR PRODUCT ROYAL TRADER DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED YET. (Royal trader includes Fusion V, Supervolcano, HiRider, LMD Currency, to name the main EA's not working properly) Now that's said, back to business for those of us caught in this position of being down a grand with nothing but bit's and bites to show for it ;-) A lot of focus on the refund process seems meaningless to me - it's not rocket science if anyone has ever used a credit card - ask FRWC / Plimus for a refund, document it, if they don't give it, stop payment with your cc company per madmatz post, job done. Moving on - More than half the battle with an EA is getting it to trade at the right time in the right direction - The Top EA's do that figuratively 19 out out 20 times. Forgetting FOREX market action which is just data to the EA, the code just needs the condition (s) on when to exit the big loosing trade - Results are depressing, but the above is what it boils down to, go look at your data and remove the trades with losses >100 and ask yourself would you be happy with the EA now? I haven't seen used or read of anything else out there that comes close, or dosen't look like a scam, if you have other information on EA's I'm missing here, please try to convince me I'm mad and convert me to another third party profitable EA - I'm open minded, I'll be first in line for a refund because I do have more data than you can shake a stick at. Educate me here, I don't think I'm assessing the situation wrong, it is what it is, and I'm trying to be as objective as I can about the situation and the way forward- If you have other credible info like FAPturbo returns 1000% a year, or Megadroid has allowed me to retire lets get it out on the table. Right now the only other credible but much harder path is role up my sleeves in the coding world learn MQL and code something myself - I'm under NO illusion how difficult that is hence my analysis and purchase of Royal Trader. The coding piece, I would get down in under 3 months, the identification of the right FOREX indicaters, and the triggers in and out is beyond my level of expertise for now which puts that on a 12 month+ timeline, hence the attractiveness for me to figure out a bandaid on the stop loss until FWRC come's good or goes under Let me know your thoughts people - I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to move on (like many others) in the right profitable direction, I'm not getting out of this to sit on the sidelines without a credible alternative that returns 15% a month + that's my objective (and I have about another 30 days on that decision), let me know a credible answer before then and I'm gone. I hope where I'm coming from is clear now Jon - have fun, trash relentlessly, I'm a big boy ;-) |
