This is my point trading is close to barbaric now in relation to other
industries software development. Trading software is going to be in a
revolution change in the next couple of years. The gap you speak of with
the public ignorance is why trading software has so far to go with the
public. A good software program written right will eliminate the need to
know all the inter workings as one has to today. The new breed will
understand this and only have brief descriptions on the use of indicators
then and make it easy to adjust and change them with the click of a mouse.

I'm an American but as a stock broker I can't write what I think to the
public at large.
Astroliger can but a paid investment advisor can not without first
registering. Real money accounts advertising results is great and a result
of the CFTC. As far as the CFTC not keeping up is true but they will catch
many but with all crooks they will always show up else where. The old ugly
word regulation is policing the rules and without that you can't have an
economy and that's why Russia is hard to help get back on its feet now.
