I did a free-trial with Kwikpop, and was impressed with what I saw. I became a subscriber, but ended up cancelling after two months. The problem I had was too many time frames, indicators, etc. being bandied about in the chat room. There did not seem to be a consensus on how to use the system...

I learned about Fib retracements through a trading course I took, which relied on them heavily. I spent alot of time studying charts and sim-trading in playback mode, and marvelled at how accurately Fibs predicted price movements. The problem came when I actually tried to trade them live, and...

That's some deep stuff, Bruce. Don't come across much like that here on ET, thanks for breathing some new perspective into this place. I just finished reading "Trading in the Zone" (Douglas), and found alot of revelation about myself and my trading in that book. He says, as do you, that we...

Makes me think of the old adage about the "wolf guarding the hen house." There is an election on the line here, and trillions of dollars along with it. Does anyone think that those in power are not willing to do basically anything (including "cooking the books") to stay there? Sad but...

Douglas refers to this in "Trading in the Zone" as euphoria, the feeling that we can't lose. He also points out that anyone can make a winning trade, or a series of them for that matter. When I begin to feel euphoric, I do best to take a day off, and reward myself for my success. Last week I had...

Have you seen the new commercial NYSE came out with, all about how they're changing to better serve the individual investor? What a joke. The stuff you're talking about takes me back a few years ago to when I traded equities, before I switched to futures. Sounds like things have only gotten...

The logic behind this email is that if people hurt the oil comapnies on one day, they will change their evil ways and lower gas prices. But how does a company losing money lead to lower prices? If anything, they would have to RAISE prices to offset the loss. I got this email a couple of...

Here's what I wrote last night, regarding the email I sent to BDT: I finally received a response from Shay at 11:37pm, in which he answered my questions. I may have jumped the gun in my previous post, so I want to apologize for that. I agreed not to make the message public, but will say...

You guys keep talking about hash cookies, and someones going to come looking for you!:p

This is the last post we received from BDT today, stating that we would be hearing from Shay at the end of the day. It is currently 9:10pm EST, and there has been no reply. The day has ended, in my book, and still no reply. As I said before, this thread has been very civilized by ET...

It was P.T. Barnum who said there is a "sucker born every minute." Will Rogers said he "never met a man he didn't like." This saying is actually misused quite often, with regard to Rogers' meaning. It wasn't that he liked everyone he met, he admitted to disliking many people. He meant that...

Excellent points made by Qwiktrade. It is not just a matter of paying $200 to check out a service, there are other factors involved. One of them is potential losses, which can be far more than the entry fee to the chatroom. Another is opportunity cost, the time spent observing a new system...

Pardon me for saying so, but you seem to contradict yourself in this post. On one hand, you say one isn't cut out to be a trader if they have to be told what to do. But then you say one must be selective in taking someone else's calls. You conclude by returning to the original point, that...

Quote from BDT: I believe that the questions of what account size is needed to produce the hypothetical results, and what exit prices are used to achieve the posted results, are relevant questions. I have reviewed this thread fully, and have not found answers to these two questions. I agree...

Doesn't look like BDT is coming back. :( I guess they decided over the weekend that it's not worth the grief to defend themselves here on ET. It's too bad, because they stood a good chance of gaining quite a few subscribers, if they could have done a bit more to win over this forum. Oh well, we...

I believe BDT is not responding to the recent posts due to the fact it is the weekend, and they're probably decompressing from the stress of the week and staying away from ET. They don't strike me as the type that would cut and run so quickly, I'm not ready to put them in the "TraderBrad"...

There could be some value to their service, especially for new traders, as Balda says. New traders are also the most likely to pony up the two hundred without a trial, as they are eager to find something to make them profitable. I know, because I've done my share of "ponying up." The problem...

You only used one "o" in loser. All the winning traders use two. :p

You're right Michael, we should allow BDT to respond. They have not posted for awhile, so are probably taking the weekend off. I found this quote from Shogun, as to why he runs the chatroom, rather than just trade: Guess that answers the question.

Watson makes a good point, which was asked and left unanswered earlier in the thread. If this method of trading is as accurate and profitable as BDT claims it is, why share it? There are many firms who would pay big money for someone to produce these kinds of results. Then there would be no...
