How much are you willing to pay for a technique that guarantee winning everytime?

sammybea · Mar 15, 2003

million dollars, if it works. But you would have to pay me a mil if it doesn't. Lets do this, i put up a mil, and you put up a mil.. if it works, u get the account. If it doesn't, i get the account. Fair to me.

Wow! This is a good one. Why can't I come up with ideas like this?

Quote from Div Poacher:

It is just today's holy grail. The trading in another decade will have discarded it.

I would add that what works this MONTH, may not work next month. That's how fast market conditions can change. I have personally seen systems that have generated over 50 consecutive winning trades without a single loss. However, every one of these systems was so highly optimized to the current market conditions, that as soon as the market changed (even just a little) the very same system that seemingly could not lose was now generating horrendous drawdowns.

BTW, I'll go in on the 1/10 of all profits, paid quarterly.

Interesting that you don't raise the bid.

I am willing to pay 50% of all net profits, every 200 trades. But I keep full control of position size.

I hope mine is the winning bid.

You place my bets and keep 90% of the profits. Just send me my 10% every quarter.

There is only one holy grail. It's Optional777 aka GOD.

True. Optional is the One And Only True Deity.

Getting back to the offer:

I would up the offer to 99.9% of profits, because a "sure thing" method would eventually end up with all the money in the world. I could easily live on 1/10th of 1% of that nicely. And give away 99% of my cut to charity. And still roast marshmallows on fires made with bricks of Treasury Bonds.

Hard to believe though that someone who doesn't know the difference between the word "conceded" and "conceited" could come up with the Holy Grail. But then again, other than Optional777, no one is perfect!

Peace,

rs, you want 0.1% of all the world's money? You're definitely too greedy, my friend!
