I think the reason people are pushing back is because of the delivery. Your threads tick a lot of the boxes for warning bells. I don't really care if you are stealth marketing or not, to be honest this whole things looks more like a social media type "follow me!" thing. But after years of lurking here I will tell you a few of the things that ring the alarm.
I figured running my year-long journal at
http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/from-zero-to-hero-in-a-years-time.298779/ would be not as exciting and even somewhat selfish if I remain the only one to trade. So here's the deal:
Translation: "I am giving you this out of the goodness of my heart" Maybe true, and if so good on you. But we have seen it before.
So you can use some cheap funding currency or a cent account if you don't have much money to experiment with.
Translation: "It doesn't cost much to get started." Actually, the cent account seems like a cool idea. I have never ventured into Fx so I didn't even know this was possible. But with the other things this feels like a pitch.
I will create a private thread on this forum for those who have set up trading accounts and posted their MyFXBook links here and share the bot's file in that private thread.
Translation: "You pony up (even just $10) and you are on the inside!" Sniff, sniff. What is that smell?
You have one month to sign up as a beta tester in this thread. I might limit the number of beta testers after I feel we have enough, so the sooner you volunteer, the better.
Translation: "Limited Time Only! Maybe even less time if you don't hurry." High pressure sales 101.
And last but not least, from your other thread:
As a side note, never trade in a time of your worst financial desperation! Remember that markets are heavily manipulated and technical analysis no longer works. That's why the "gurus" have switched to bucket-shopping and b-booking while never trading themselves, not even during the "live sessions" when they are doing the "guru stuff" in a webinar mode to get a hold of your cash. So if you are cash-strapped and must push at high leverage under stress and time limit, it will always go against you to take you out for good.
Translation: "The market will get you! No matter what you do, you will lose! Don't waste your last $10 (ha!) on your trading!" Remind people of their own shortcomings, but don't sell them while you tell them how dangerous the market is. Just make sure they don't start thinking they can do it themselves.
I am not typing all this crap to attack you or what you are doing. I hope you are legit and I hope you make 1000%. It just seems you are genuinely wondering why people are questioning what you are doing. Maybe we are all jaded and cynical, but I'm guessing the other guys are seeing the same things as me. Regardless of your intentions, taken as a whole you ticked a lot of the guru boxes.
