Some continue trying, some back down lower the bar, some quit, some claim scam. Are there unicorns out there ? If someone answered yes, he's called out a liar, a scammer, deluded, a billionaire richer than Warren Buffet in his dreams. It's a funny situation. The finder will never share anything about this unicorn, yet he cannot accept the no answer because that's his reality or dreams or fantasy or delusion. The only...Ignored

Sharing a successful strategy on a forum is like giving away your business plan to a wannabe entrepreneur in another country. What's the point? Not to mention, sharing a strategy wont be like sharing half of a chocolate bar... it would take a lot of effort and time to present to information, and even more to answer the 100s of questions that would soon follow. Like I said... what's the point? What's the incentive?
These forums are good if you can find people on a similar level to you for some give-and-take, mutually beneficial brain storming. I have been here since 10 years ago, with a large break until recently. The most interesting posts I ever found with the most promising information came from a poster called Darkstar, but even that information is no where near enough to trade profitably.
I suggest giving up on trading Forex, living your life for sometime and keeping up to date with the political and economic news. Every time you hear something you don't understand that you think is related to the markets, write it down in a list. Then, In your free time read some books or search for information online to fill in your gaps you perceive in your understanding. At the point when you feel like you understand what is going on in the politico-economic sense... then come back and try to trade again if your time and finances allow.
... but then I remember that nobody ever takes advice and I regret spending time to write this post.

So why not share it? What's the reasoning behind it? Seems so hypocritical and I don't understand why.
I don't think that's necessarily being hypocritical, it's just seems like sensible business practice to me. It's a greedy and corrupt world out there, and if you did actually have an EA that prints money, it would make sense to protect yourself in the most simple and obvious ways available.

{quote} {quote} Hi Leon, I appreciate the effort, and it's good to see you back.
I should have guessed you'd still be here. The funny thing about this discussion is that most of the guys here probably don't know how charitable you've been on the forum - I remember the times when you wrote a bunch of very long sticky posts. I doubt I have anything to teach you. You must be the Wolf of Wall St after all this time

Hello guys, do you think it's wise to share a succesfull strategy (coded in EA) or it is better to keep it for your own use? In some logic it's OK to share with general public so more people have influence on the market. But on the other hand it's better to keep it secret and sell signals, pamm account, ... - but very hard to find investors i see now. I can't decide
Basic logic says that if something brings profit its not advised to share it because other can brake it down
But if it needs polishing or improvement or its some raw material then you can post there to work on it together.
