Re: Sharing trading systems, improved nr. of cons. losers

Hi Robert,

There is a free website called www.wealth-lab.com 
where people share system ideas.  Its primarily 
for stocks, but there are some futures traders 
there too.  As with anything, there are some good 
systems and some bad ones, but plenty of 
sharing.  Most of the contributers there believe 
you can reveal your system without any adverse 
affects because most people would never trade it 
anyway, no matter how good it was due to the 
different styles/temperments of traders.  Whether 
or not this idea has merit is another debate I 
guess.  What I do like about the site is that 
there are several traders there that really know 
their stuff about system development and they 
share it freely.

Regards,

Kirk
