Very well said and I believe the same thing when it comes to trading and rules and having an edge.
Here is a vouch for you.

I have no problems answering logical questions even if you would take the other side, what Will is doing is guessing and accusing based on guesses.

1. I make no secret of my technique and I'll share it with you if you want to. It just takes time and patience to learn. Its very simple after you know what you're looking for but the problem is 99% of people do not have the patience for it and even if they do they, they don't have the faith in the technique or themselves. I don't think it would impact liquidity very soon, I think I can probably retire on this trading millions without making dent in liquidity

2. Not really, there is no hard algorithm formula that I follow and I choose different pairs depending on how the PA is developing to make the trade so I doubt you would find a pattern. But if someone wants to waste their time be my guest. If someone wants to make an EA I'll share my ideas with you but I just don't believe it will work long term automated.

3. Again, the fees there are too small for the potential of the system as I see it developing and I have no control over the amounts being traded with it and which trades are taken or not. What if someone takes more weak trades then the stronger ones and then goes on a crusade against me like Will does. I'd rather not make that money and avoid those fools. I don't even need to trade OPM so I'll only trade on my conditions with those that are freely willing to accept them.

4. Past mistakes, lots of internet and forum reading, no mentors no gurus - stopped following rules that everyone follows which only led to the same place that everyone else ends up in eventually - helped a lot.

One thing that I need to point and again this goes with your reading comprehension issues is the fact that I said that I want to hide my trading details and this is true, its not only in our e-mail but if you read my website carefully I clearly state that after a year of history I am going to close my live trades to anyone even the investors. I am not that naive not to think that if I can trade this method profitably for at least a full year (full market cycle) that people will not try to use that information beyond my control by investing my lousy minimum and then copying those trades on a much larger portfolio. If clients want to leave me for that reason, so be it.

Rob, if you're talking about people using MT4 trade copiers, I could be wrong and I guess it depends on the way your broker has set up PAMM accounts but I don't think it's possible to copy trades from a PAMM account. The money is in effect transferred to your central PAMM account and your clients have no access to this account unless you give it to them.

Ouch, what happened Rob?

I agree Steve. No stoploss and being too concerned about a perfect Balance curve. I guess the comments above were not far from the truth... Investors will learn from this lesson.
