We just ended our beta phase where we did some stress testing of our copier infrastructure to see how it works with various broker and vps combinations. And you guessed it right, we did not launch our service yet. We plan to do so in late January 2014. The info that we are preparing for launch is given here: http://www.thweis.com/index.php/subscribe You won't hear much sales pitch from us, we are traders just like you guys. We developed a system which we think will bring us a fortune and we decided to share it. We only let you guys copy our own account. The pricing will be roughly 150 USD/month, however we can provide a 40 or 50% discount if you join our affiliate programm with either IC Markets or Pepp erstone. We also negotiate the trading rights for our exotic pairs with Global Prime and if we suceed we will also provide you with a discount for GP depending on how their new compensation model will look like. I am sure jeremy will let us know soon. We will adhere to the K.I.S.S. principle. One real account and one pricing model based on a monthly subscription which you can leave anytime. So if you are interested take your time and read about our method on our website. We would prefer to have a small but loyal base of customers who believe in us rather than trying to catch the strategy hopping forex crowd. It is not until you understand the risks involved that you should consider joining us. If the word 'grid EA' makes you nervous you should just forget about us immediately. If you have questions just ask . The truth will always defend itself... v/r Martin @Steve: If you guys don't want me here just let me know but you will find out soon that I am plain honest regarding what we do. Not sure what I did wrong so far to deserve your reaction. |

I dug through a bit of their website and I was impressed with their level of transparency and disclosure. They are using Martingales, but they do a fairly good job of explaining the risks -- much better than I've seen with any other M-based vendor. I suggested they should add a description of the true worst-case scenario -- what happens if you get a class-A black-swan event (such as the 9/11 New York attacks) that causes many of their strategy/pair combos to hit their M stoploss. Martin agreed that was a good idea. I think they're trying to do the right thing. I think they've even set it up so the M risk is fairly well contained, for anything short of the aforementioned black-swan events. |

Yes most questions arise because people are not willing to really learn what we do as they just fly over the information on our website and not read it carefully. Regarding the black swan event I totally agree that I should work this out more clearly. The information is there as one of the simulations (the first one) on the website show 6 or so EP hits in the same month. The portfolio is actively managed and we will stop EAs should we sense some strange market behaviour. And I am very good at that as we also employ a stock market model which never missed a bear or bull market in over 100 years. I went 100% cash in late july 2011 as my model and leading stocks just gave me red signals all over the place. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if someone really studies our simple method and approach us with improvements regarding documentation just like what garyfritz did. What I did find out over the last 4 years is that most sound approaches are only specialized solutions. Most vendors selling EAs don't even bother to talk about the broker issues. There are huge differences and we will give you indepth information regarding broker and VPS combinations soon. v/r Martin |

Be in the Zone: Due to the trend in CAD denominated pairs we are in a drawdown with our 4 EAs trading the canadian dollar. Attached you find the situtation as we see it from our commando bridge. Diversification and a sane portion allocation is paramount in building a sound investing system with a proper risk/reward ratio. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bld4srzby13hs ... awdown.png v/r Martin |

Men are proof positive that: 1) God exists; 2) She is a woman. Why? Because only something with the evil sense of humour of a female could have come up with something so useless as a male.  |
