The Scrap Heap

Systems that had absolutely huge followings, only to be thrown on the scrap heap and forgotten from existence....

Bunnygirl Cross
Hans123
Daily Fozzy
Vegas Method
Steinitz Heiken Ashi Smoothed

Got more??

Save yourself some time and do the opposite. Whats the name of Jacko's "system"?

I won't throw stones, but I will say that there is no correlation the between number of followers and profitability.

Auslanko is dying on the vine.

I never figured out if it was a system or a chat room. Anyway, it's about gone.

Popularity shouldnt really be a measure of profitability of a system.
Back testing your own ideas from someones thread is the best way really.

PS>
I thought vegas tunnel - morphed into the knofe was a good system
mouteki and fozzy - i thought they were ok too - I do have a lot of testing to do lol

Rainbow Scalping with LinuxTroll (Cirox method)

I witnessed the Bunnygirl melt down and her exit from forex over on strategybuilederfx.



Bunnygirl had sold private mentoring classes to some guy for several thousand dollars.

Part of the deal was she guaranteed he would make his money back- plus, or she would continue the classes until he did.

He wouldn't trade over 10 cents a pip, and after about a month she dumped him.



He opened up a thread accusing her of being a scam artist and they got into it for a couple of days.

He finally threatened to reveal her Big Secret ingredient if she didn't return his money.

She told him if he did she would delete the Bunnygirl Cross thread.

He revealed it and she spent a few days deleting all her posts and there were a ton of them. Her "secret" was a 25 MA or some such nonsense.



It was hilarious. You can't make this stuff up.

iGoRfX had a couple of long running systems. I don't remember what he called them.

I haven't seen or heard of him, or his systems, in a couple of years.

fxpimp

nitro method

got sucked into these for a few months when I first started out

Cornflower hourly system

You guys remember Fijitrader pushing the VantagePoint way back when?

And it was concluded that the NN had identical signals as a MA2 MA3 cross....

ACE284's 4H Box Breakout was a very big hit.
.

Moist of the big, long running threads were on other forums.

SBFX was the headquarters of Bunnygirl, Hans 123 and Stratoblaster as well as a few more I can't recall.

The few of them were on TSD and Moneytec

I noticed that SBFX folded a few weeks ago. It's a good example of what failing to control spam will do to a forum.

The entire system was based on price crossing a 50 period moving average, yet it had a huge following with its own dedicated sub forum for quite a long time.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

i'm calling it now. give it a year and it'll be dust.

LOL, how can discretionary trading be grouped with failed systems?
