Yet STILL no discussion of either features or returns. What is that called, oh yes, it is called mis-direction.
Vendor/Promoter will not discuss either features or expectations - all the more reason for caveat emptor.

Mr Murrey,
What benefits does your software provide over say Trading Blox? Their forum is phenomenal, their support is excellent, and their software is very straight forward. Also a question about your Trend harmony 2010, its obviously a long term trend system of holding periods of over 40days correct? In my research if you use donchian channels, keltner channels or bollinger bands, all of them I have backtested on portfolios over 50-100 instruments and they all have fared badly on their own with simple short term parameters ei Donchian break outs of 10-90 days. Whats your CAGR/ Max drawdown ratio on trend harmony 2010? How much capital does one need to trade it? Most people don't have $250,000 to trade a basket of commodity futures and we all know that's sort of like a minimum account size needed to have any chance trading those types of strategies in which having 30 positions and drawdowns of up to 50% or more are common. With that said can you provide a backtested result with a basket of ETFS all non leveraged that mimic the underlying futures contracts? I know for some data is recent but even for last few years I would like to see the results, and what a small account layman can expect to get. This by no means is an attack just an observation from my own research.

Quote from Murray Ruggiero:
Let me answer this post in multiple parts since it will take me some time to put together the answers for your system question because my solution is different from everyone else , for example I put together a $30,000 account solution , using two different uncorrelated systems which produced very good results.

I will put together some other solutions and results for you, give me till sometime next week.
In terms of what software is better, TradersStudio or Trading Blox. They both have Pro's and Cons
Trading Blox is less programmable, less flexible than TradersStudio. As you said the community seems more active but the product is $3990.00 for the same functionality as TradersStudio. You can get the tools to create completely new system without spending that much on Trading Blox. TradersStudio only costs, $499.00 for those features.
The products are about even , except on price for given features. The systems included in Trading Blox are really not what I would trade today, the Turtle system has not done well for years. My systems are doing very well. I even have real time results available if you PM me to request them.
