According to your logic there is not need for this forum (how to
trade this system: just do it). I tend to agree with
that. I think that this forum itself may be a mistake, since
it creates the opportunity for people to vent. Without the
forum, they might me more hesitant, since sending a pm is somewhat
more daunting (to me, at least) than simpy posting on a board.
As to implying that Matt should share his proprietary
information: I don't know to whom you're responding.
Certainly not to me, since I said nothing of the sort.
What I did say is the sellers of black box systems should be
prepared for a certain amount of emotion from their subscribers
during rough times. I'm not condoning such behavior, I'm
simply saying that it's inevitable and part of the cost of doing
business.
Part of the reason for this is that there are no mechanical
systems. People will always try to second guess a system,
deciding whether or not to take a trade. If you don't believe
that, look at the posts on this board. Again, I think this is
a mistake, but if I were selling a black box system I would be
prepared for it since I think that it is going to happen given
human nature.
I also repeat my request for the developers of the system to
outline how they would quantify the conditions for its possible
failure (which I hope never happens).
