These guys must be making a fortune (selling the s/w that is). I saw two lengthy infomercials this weekend on network affiliate stations in one of the major markets in the US. Must have cost them an absolute bomb.
For the newbies that like the looks of Wizetrade and wonder why we are all so negative on it. First, the claims are ludicrous. No mention of the inevitable drawdowns with this or any system. No verifiable peformance records, that I'm aware of, to back up the get rich quick claims. Yes, with any system one will make winning trades, but what counts if the overall P/L at the end of the month and year.
Second, Wizetrade is apparently a rather simple MA crossover type system. You can go to WealthLab or other sites and duplicate such systems or check out their performance. You will find they don't do very well in the stock market, that they take very large accounts to trade in the commodities and that they incur big drawdowns, like 50-60%. That is with professionally designed and operated systems. Who knows what is going on inside thsi S/w?
The whole idea of trend following systems is to run them across a diversified portfolio of non-correlated markets, eg grains, meats, metals, financials, currencies, and hope you catch a big trend move on a couple of them before you blow up. That's why you need a big account. Otherwise you will blow up. Guaranteed.
If the infomercial claims were actually true, don't you think hedge funds and other smart money types would just buy a copy of Wizetrade and let the good times roll? Do you think it is just jealousy that keeps them from doing that?
