Sorry folks, I know I said I wouldn't bother ya'll but this one just came to mind this morning. I ousted him to Twee and the commercial section a couple days after he appeared here and PM'd me asking if I could help him find investors. I replied (the only way I could of course) and he placed me on ignore immediately!

Every TE he's ever shown always starts out @ a few thousand % return before he publicly makes a single trade. No SL & scales in until it turns. If not, start a new TE.
Anyone that has a valid question immediately goes on ignore list so I made his list quite a while ago :-)

{quote} It is amazing for how long people play with photo editors and stuff just to pamper their ego ... could have been building a hospital with his bare hands in that time he uses to brush up his image on FF ... pathetic.

The other red flag would be contact me via Skype. Skype? Seriously?

{quote} You said it to the point Sir! It is obvious for awhile now that I have been sitting on the fence on the issue of closing the thread with me tilting on the closing side cause it does take too much of my attention and the other reasons that I have mentioned in my prior posts. But like I have said before I am very democratic an I do consider others opinions and that is what is delaying the actual decision. I also do get emails by members of how much they like the thread and how important it is for FF to have a thread like this. After all the...
I really hope your fence sitting ends in a fall on the side of leaving it open!
I for one appreciate the time you take to run this thread, and I honestly believe we have an opportunity here (to coin a famous phrase from my country of residence) to keep the bastards honest!
I don't have a pretty diamond next to my name but I've been around long enough on this, and other forums to see a steady increase in those who have a clear agenda to sell something without any backing for their claims.
I believe this is a predatory behavior designed to take advantage of those entering this industry with get rich quick ideas. Unfortunately it is a successful one.
A simple discussion here, and a call for proof I believe will go a long way to at least providing an alternative perspective to new traders coming in.
I consider myself very lucky to be a trader who is profitable. It's not an easy road, and I believe misinformation is the biggest cause of failure in this business.
If we can endorse critical thinking of vendors in this market, putting the burden of proof squarely on their shoulders I think we will take a step in the right direction.
The other great thing is that many here have clearly stated that 100% winning systems, and huge monthly account gains are the stuff of fantasy. At least in the long term.
If we can continue to foster these thoughts, I really believe we have value here, and are not the lynch mob radicals that some would like to believe!

I've always felt anyone in FX who was selling a product needed to disclose a track-record just like any money manager would gladly do. The fact it never happened baffled me. When I was the Director of Compliance at FX Street I pushed to implement full trading disclosure. We sent over 100 requests to our content contributors and all but one refused to disclose and the only one that did gave us a losing track-record and we had to agree not to make public to get it. It was a shock to all of us at FXS and it was the principal reason I left the company - I just didn't feel like I could be part of retail Forex at that point. Of course, me leaving did nothing to fix the issue and in hind-sight I should have stayed at FXS where I could have been a voice that continued to challenge the guru's and the wizards on their claims. Live and learn.
I would love to see FF embrace this "demand for proof"and then value those with the longest track-records the most. I don't know if it can ever happen as demand for the get-rich-quick and a general lack of understanding will guarantee a place for the snake-oil salesman, but it would be nice to think maybe an honest guy could actually have a shot at building a following down the road. - JP

Swing I think the Trade Explorer could be the modern day version of that (you just dated yourself btw... I remember that pub too. ) Hopefully commercial vendors with TE's will get more credibility than those without and in a perfect world, those with longer track-records will trump the high risk flyers who never survive. Time will tell but I think this - and the other versions around the web - are a good step in the right direction. - JP
