Success story!!

Do you have one? Anyone who is making some money by subscribing to a commercial member , be it James16,Darkstar, Eonforex, autotrader tipple entry GoodBoy, or anyone else, I am dying to know about it so that I too can subscribe and make some money. With all the grand claims here surely somebody MUST be making something? Please tell. I look forward to the success story..............

All rather depends on the time frame.

Am sure there are plenty on here who claim daily/weekly/perhaps even monthly success. But how many of them are still around with ACTUAL verified live accounts with significant amounts after a year? You can probably count them on one hand, maybe even three fingers.

Issue with retail is greed and unrealistic expectation.

Tell any professional they can gain 10%-15% in a year with low drawdown, they will fall over themselves to hand funds to you. Tell this to retail (with maybe their $5k account), they will calculate that 15% of $5k is only $750. Take out subscription cost and it hardly seems like its worth it. That's why retail will always go for the glory headlines where unknown faces on the internet claim they will make them 20% a month consistently. Retail then cry when their account gets blown.

Investing/trading is a hard business that needs to be learnt and managed daily. Where profits need to be looked at in relation to risk over the long term. What we see on this board is charlatans, not one who has a live account that has been running over a year). We see people opening up signal services with 1-3 months of trades where drawdown is a joke or where excuses are made as to why they don't have a live account etc.

Why should a business as potentially lucrative as trading be easy? Yet everyone wants to create an EA that will run perpetually and make them money whilst they sleep. There is zero evidence that any such system works in the long-term. Even the HFT's that exist are only successful due to their market maker status and their ability to front run or spoof as well as engage in other activities which the authorities seem to turn a blind eye to.

Yet retail clients on here look for free EA's or EA's that cost $50.00 and they expect such an EA to generate thousands for them.

Retail FX is a joke because their expectations are totally unrealistic. It is this greed and unrealistic expectation that allows charlatans to flourish.

Sorry OP for the rant. More I read on here, the more I feel sorry for retail.

am looking forward to someone with a positive experience with a commercial member there must be at least one on here offering a quality service

That's quite alright. I totally agree with you.
