{quote} GREED? lol. You can never have enough good systems because as it has been debated before, things change and I need something more to rely on. Everybody like a good book or a good movie or a good vacation etc. but is only one good book/movie/vacation is enough?

The way I see it 99.99% of strategies are complete crap. When you find one that works, you should hold on to it. What are the chances of finding a good strategy when maybe 1 in 1000 is going to make money long term? Its more likely that whatever you buy will wipe out your account eventually then make you any money. Thats why this searching for a great strategy is a waste of time and money because nobody in their right mind that has one, will be selling it. And this is especially true for strategies/EAs that are being offered for €140.

He apparently made someone pay $1000 and not even for an EA. So are we supposed to believe a €20,000 EA is a really good one because they are not charging little amount like €140 for it? Also, there are decent EA's around that are free. Are we to bypass all free EA's because why would someone make a good EA and put it out for free?

I think this logic of price correlation to effectiveness of an EA just doesn't work.

You are missing my point. What I was trying to say was that any EA thats for sale or is free is crap. Name one thats decent. Just one. Just because its kind of profitable doesnt mean its decent. If there were good free EAs available then everyone would be making money so your claim is patently wrong and without real basis. This kind of mindset is exactly why people blow money all the time.

Well, sorry to read that you don't believe there are any free decent EA's around. Some people willing to do the work to find them. I have been called lazy in this thread because I am supposedly willing to pay instead of finding them but no, I do the work. If you think there is no free profitable EA's around because everyone would be using them, then I will have to just let you think along those lines. It bothers me none.

Ya, no problem..
He still totally sounds like he believes that he is legitimate but somehow bad things are happening to him and he can't deliver his claims. It's like he walks to school with his nicely prepared homework every day and there are a bunch of dogs that eat it before he can deliver it to school. The riots happened and Skrill got blocked and in your case his PH# got dealt away to someone else. etc. I think he has a very strong sense of guilt and it is pressing down on him immensely. I think he wants us to believe that it is not him but the circumstances that are leading to his unsuccessful delivery of the promises that he is selling. It doesn't matter, he has taken money and not delivered the goods like all other scammers. No excuses are going to change that fact.

Very predictable answer. I ask you a specific question and you answer in generalities. Give a concrete answer otherwise its pointless to even have a discussion. You sound like those instagram "traders" who try to attract investors by posting lifestyle photos but never show any real proof that what they are saying is real. Same thing with your EAs, you talk a big game but are unwilling to back it up so how can anyone here take you seriously?

I came here to inform others of what went on regarding an EA purchase and not to post free decent EA's. What am I trying to attract you to? Free working EA's?

If you want to believe there are no free EA's around that work, then you can live with that. No one is obligated to provide you proof. If you want proof, you will find it. If you want to believe there is nothing around, then I guess you have already found what you are looking for, so I think you are at peace. You haven't been scammed, you have proof for your beliefs and you trade FX, I assume successfully. You should be all smiles instead of slowly getting angrier. PEACE!

Mate, you started mentioning free EAs and I just asked you which those are. Why even start the topic if you cant/wont back it up? You started this thread and are willing to debate about it for a week now but you cant answer one simple question which would take you 2 min to respond. Thats very strange behaviour and it tells me either you are full of it or simply dont know what you are talking about. It just might be both

You are right, this is a topic about scammers. And thats the funny part. OutThere trusted a scammer even though he couldnt back up his claims. Now OutThere cant/wont back up his own claims so he is acting very similarly as the guy who scammed him. Thats the definition of a scammer so we are actually staying on topic.

Ya maybe trusting one scammer was bad enough and now I am not going to trust another looking for free EA's. Search, test and even you shall find.

Strangely enough, bold and broad answers from a new member. I question your motives.

I think you did the right thing telling the (whole) story, because it could help someone else to avoid the same fate. It's not easy to admit that you made a mistake but it's a trait of all good traders. There's no way to avoid (unfair) criticism on this forum however, so don't even try.

Good for you. You should be questioning all other members motives, especially ones who cant back up their claims.

Also, does the fact that I am a new member mean that I cant point out the bull**** when I spot it? If you think my posts are off base then you can surely point to the ones that are wrong.

Judging by your TE's, you have found strategies that work. Manual/EA or combination or who knows what. No one else can find them but you did. How much are you charging? You use skrill? You like it when members here PM you and ask you how you are doing it since you are apparently the only one who has found something that works and no one else?

This thread is exactly the "Heads Up" to watch out for guys like you.

You put your foot in it mate. I am questioning why you are so upset, as a new member and getting highly involved in a scammers thread when you should be finding your feet at FF and easing yourself into becoming a useful contributor here.
lots of questions.

Nice thread and truly sorry to those who were scammed by that guy.

Just to say don't get involved in arguments with new members. It's more then likely a "regismexis" clone!

Lastly, it may very well be that some of us (probably a lot of us although we wont admit it!) that just cannot trade live accounts successfully.Our emotions are just too powerful and get in the way of clear thinking and cold logic - which one most definitely needs to win in this very tough game. In that case, it might very well be a better idea to use auto copying. Many traders do this and find it more beneficial to let someone else have the stress. Obviously you would only allow access to money that you can afford to lose just in case it ends in tears!
