Robin,
I don't think anyone here has problems with new people, but I fail to
understand why anyone who has spent untold hours of designing, developing,
writing and creating a successful trading system is expected to post it to
this list just because "Easy Language is not so easy"?
I've got a better idea. Why don't you read some books about trading, master
EL, write your own successful trading system (this should keep you busy for
a few months, maybe years) and then you post it to this list for all to use.
I'm sure you would be very generous in giving it away after having mastered
all the above.
What this list offers to "newbies" is support and guidance in TS issues and
EL. If you've been a silent reader for awhile, you see the kind of
questions/problems that are asked and addressed.
Just by your comments, I have to ask, why did you purchase TS in the first
place? I would think it was the ability to program your own trading ideas.
So what are those ideas? What's wrong with the systems provided in TS? Do
you understand how they work? What didn't you like about them (other than
they're not profitable). Learn to re-write it, make it better, use the ideas
from the examples to make it work for you, develop your own style of trading
not mine.
Ask specific questions, we'll do our best to answer them, but don't expect
us to share the fruits of our labor with you. Besides, what works for me
will not work for you because you are not me. Nobody hands out successful
trading systems on a silver platter and nobody ever will. Even if some
generous benefactor did, you would still probably loose your shirt because
you would not trade it like the author intended it to be traded. Human
nature.
You want a constructive comment; here's my final thought:
One problem I find with the so called newbie is he doesn't realize that for
many of us trading is our business. Not a hobby, or a favorite pastime, but
our livelihood. Many of us are the CEO's of our own one person company. Like
any successful business we have a business plan, only its called our trading
plan. Without one, you have no direction or idea of what it is you want to
accomplish or how you plan to do it. I don't know of a single business that
will share the inner secrets of it's success however I will tell you that
the basic premise of my business plan is to take your money. Plain and
simple truth. How I go about doing that is right there in my trading plan
right down to the last detail. If your trading plan is to follow in someone
else's footsteps, then yes, franchises are available. But beware, most of
the purchased trading systems out there are not a successful McDonalds.
