Here are a few traders opinions after they got from the normal thought patterns of trading and didn't assume my system was actually something else (like averaging down or martingaling):

This is my second time around to the thread and have begun to like it and be more profitable. The very first time I took time to learn and know kept around searching for the GRAIL leaping I think I've come close to discovering it. Forget the survey, I would not think it to be accurate till someone has spent some time learning the system and becoming profitable. . .KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

I've made my feelings regarding the poll very clear. Last year I was just one of the daft traders who looked at the thread and thought, too complex, too risky, too long and too slow (if that makes sense). Ever since going live with NB 4h System in March I've been up in my trades every month and IMHO this system is one of the best (if not the finest ) in FF.

There are choices to normal trading strategies that can be learned and lead to profits without creating the false assumption you will wipe out your own account. If you are prepared to learn, it will work. SL are not neccessary, you will find places to take losses, yes, but you decide them based on the market motion not a amount that is predetermined.
