Also note that in my reply, I am simply saying there is plenty validity into what they are doing.
I also don't think it is in my beneficial interest to point out exactly were the gaps are!
But, the software definitely requires plenty of study as I might put it, even tough their web site might make it seem easy.
I also know there were some exceptional people making tons of money using the software that did put in the time but also had previous experience in the markets.!
Cheers again!
I visited their trading room for a public presentation and had a close look at their trading methods:
(1) I think it is a valid and professional approach to trading. It may suit you or it may not.
(2) Most of their effort goes into selling and marketing the product as well as running their trading rooms.
(3) The product is completely overpriced.
This is what I found:
Their unique selling proposition is fibonacci confluence areas. This is difficult to reproduce, but not impossible. I have coded this for myself (as an add-on to NinjaTrader, was a lot of work to do this). My version is not identical to theirs (I am not a thief), so I have done my own statistical evaluation to determine the weights of the various fib lines which add up to confluence zones. This is the only piece of their software that is not available for free elsewhere.
The trading system is mainly built around MACD BB-Lines (fib lines are only slightly improving the system). MACD BB-Lines are pretty standard and available for free on many forums.
The small and larger trigger lines are just filters. Take a linear regression indicator displaced by 3 or 4 bars and use 2 different periods and you get the same thing. There are other trend filters you can add ad libitum.
The enveloppe can be built from a Keltner channel around a smoothed moving average.
To summarize, with the exception of the fib confluence areas they put up-front, there is nothing special I noticed. The whole thing can be improved by using volume analysis / anchored VWMA.
