Rearden: Appreciate a pro's like your response. I do keep all my predictions at my blog though, if you click the prediction tag. Now, I do control the source code and could fake it. But, my record is most important to me. My audited trade record also helps with that too. However, my predictions and trades while highly correlated are not exactly the same. This is because my predictions don't use price stops and I have on my trades -- often to my detriment. But, I've made adjustments which should help with that. There are a few other minor differences, as well. I really want to keep the most accurate records I can when I start trading too. I know trading in the real life can be messy with withdrawls etc and that part bothers me.
I love to predict the market. However, I've seen that I could give 100 people the high, low, direction and not a one would be able make a profit or even place a trade. My goal is focusing 120% on my performance and not demonstrations.
brokenmarkets: I've already sold copies to professional traders. The ones that have replied have been very positive. I wish my product was more polished (it isn't). However, it gets the edge across. To be honest, I wish more poor smucks would buy it. I have a feeling most of my sells are going to well-capitalized, serious and possibly institutional traders. Seriously, I'm okay with that though because they believed in me more then anyone else. I'm always looking for ways to deliver extra value to my customers.
sum: I've been saving for over a year, and I make a good living too. But, as I've made more money then I've more responsibilities even though I don't spend any. I don't even have a TV.
I'm getting close to where I can start trading with my savings. My 100% quantitative program requires 7k. But I can make more using my discretionary techniques but that requires quite a bit more and one can't have an undue fear of losing which might be difficult to do on borrowed money. However, on my mechanical program that could work (or not).
I don't think I'll get enough money to trade by selling something like this, not even close. But, it makes the effort tangible and a bit on top of what I have could make the difference.
