Holy Grail

[LT701]

Quote from alesanti:

Seriously speaking, the most similar to the Holy Grail I've found is www.tradingpro.com They do predict market movements, and they sell their predictions by $195 per quarter.
One question I had from the moment I subscribed (2 years ago) is why in the world a company that has a holy grail would sell it by $195/quarter. I asked that question to the site owners and they told me that they were financing further development selling subscriptions but that those subscriptions will reach an end soon.
Well, it seems to be like that. This is the email I received this week from tradingpro support:



"Your current service, the Trading Prediction Chart, and Trading Signals will no longer be offered to new comers effective Oct 1st. At Trading Pro we are continuously monitoring the usage of our strategies, and we have reached the maximum amount of users that we consider can have access to our direct signal without disrupting its edge. Our objective is to help our members achieve their financial goals, and keep our edge working. That is why we have limited the amount of available memberships.

New memberships for this service will be available only when a current member cancels his subscription. As we trade our signal ourselves, as you can imagine we do not want our edge to suffer from over usage. On the other hand, the EFS predicted price chart can be traded by many, as each trader can choose his own target gain, and entry/exit time frames.

New members might be accepted to trade our signal once a vacancy is available. Their rate will be higher than the price you are currently paying.

As long as you keep your membership, you will pay the same US$ 195 per quarter, or US$ 650 yearly for our yearly subscribers. No change will be made to your rate upon renewals. "

that's odd, i just went to their site, and they say nothing about restricting membership

are they yanking your chain?

...or are you yanking ours?

Read at the second paragraph:

"Your current service, the Trading Prediction Chart, and Trading Signals will no longer be offered to new comers effective Oct 1st"

Have you found the trading holy grail yet??

Another hint to clarify the confusion:

As I read in the book The Predictors, written by Tom Bass, Prediction Co. tells that the market has "pockets of predictability". That means that the possibility of having accurate predictions of the market vary from time to time, and the predictions are good only when the market shows such a "pocket of predictability".
I found that tradingpro.com prediction is EXTREMELY accurate from time to time. When this happens, I win the trades. Whenever it happens otherwise, I loss. The final results is that there are more time of "pockets of predictability" than "no pockets of predictability" and this results in a net gain.

From my point of view, this is no the f*kng holy grail, but the f*kng holy from-time-to-time grail

I add an example of a pocket of predictability. The prediction is the black line and the market is in red. This is the Merval index, from Argentina, and at 10:15 it predicted a fall of 4% for the next 1:30 hour, the fall did take place and what you will see in this chart is an image took at 11:22. The fall was 4.12%.
