"anyone who has spent untold hours of designing, developing, writing and
creating a successful trading system"
So are you saying that successful system can be developed? If someone has
developed such a successful system and having enjoyed the fruits is willing
to share it albeit for a payment, what's the problem? To me it equates with
running a seminar or a course by these so called professional traders at
inflated rates.
My point is no one has a right to slam anyone.
As a silent reader I have detected sarcasm, rudeness and superiority in
more experienced traders.
As for help I put a call out on Friday for FTSE futures data, only David
Jennings responded, he was unable to help because he doesn't have the same
system. Between 26k-36k contracts are traded each day, isn't there any one
out there who could help???
