My dear friend,are you working for Equis or are you a lawyer?

All this discussion about legal or illegal copies is nonsense....Not because
you can find ANY software for a very cheap price,but because all these
things evaluate their value only by using them.They have no value for
reselling them.Have you ever tried to sell a used computer after 2 or 3
months after you bought it? You will lose half of the money paid.Its only
value comes from its everyday use.
As for Ebay,who cares? if you go down a big street you will find people
selling everything,From software,till copies of the latest music CD's.

I agree that we should concentrate on our trading.I have a comment on this
also....I see everyone trying very complex and difficult formulas,searching
obviously for the Holy Grail.Waste of time.....Trading is a very simple,yet
very difficult business.The best traders in the world use very simple entry
techniques,combined with risk control and sound money management.If you want
to search for complex techniques just for academic interest,it's okay,but
don't confuse technical analysis with trading.This is a business not a PHD
in mathematics....
