I have been following this thread with interest, but there are quite a few inconsistencies that are bothering me. On 28/12/2004 sid posted this on thread http://www.trade2win.com/boards/showthread.php?t=12741
"Wise words from c6ackp, Never give up.... I too was in this very same position, trying to hard to make money from SBing, and instead of making money I gave IG Markets all off mine. Then came the PLAN, I put together my trading plan (get intouch with me if you want a copy) and sat down to put it into practice.
60 days of paper trading showed that my plan worked. So i placed £10k in to my IG account and started for real with real money. keeping an eye on the market, and not looking for that big break, just straergy trading, keeping my profits and cutting my loss. NEVER chasing a loss, cos it happens, to us all mate, that is nature of the game. But to give you some support, since I have started my plan, and trading to it, my IG account can now support me, it is at £27k now (in 30 days) thats £17k profit. so never give up mate keep to it, and happy trading."

So that's an impressive £17k in 30 days (that is super league trading). Impressive..... if it wasnt for the fact that on 21/12/2004, the same Sid posted this on thread http://www.trade2win.com/boards/showthread.php?t=12986
"Traders Block
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone help? I have once again entered into this line of making money. I came out of it 2 years ago after losing a lot of money, following advice from so called experts, giving me advice on which software to buy etc… it seems that every time I entered into a trade, the market moved away from me, losing more money.
Every now and then I had a winning trade, but after 6 months solid, I just gave up. Now this time I have once again come back, a bigger trading bank, I think a better trading strategy, and the determination to win. I have paper traded for 90 days, and guess what? Yep I won, 80% of the trades, using TS, no software just gut instinct.
But here it comes, every time I go to play with real money, I freeze, can anyone help.

So just 7 days earlier, he's got traders block, yet still somehow managed to make £17k in a month......... Hmmmmmm.
But there's more to come....
On 23/12/2004 on the same thread as above, he posted...
"At the present time I am staying small with a max of £10 per point. My bank is a £10k base, giving a 10% max loss at any time. I am using stops to try to max out my profit, and using buy & sell limit orders for the tech stuff, I am still trading by gut feeling, cos looking at charts is over my head. I understand HLOC etc... but i think the best feeling for a market is in the gut. I can only get it wrong 50% of the time lol...

So here is a man that has made £17k in a month, yet has traders block, trades at £10 p/pt and cant even read charts!!!!!!!! Does anyone else smell a rat here guys???

First of all i would like to point out that this should have come up in the members room, although we admit part of it did.PTS_user said:Initially I thought that it looked well put together, the CD looked professional and the approach that Sid had seemed plausible.
..........................
One of the biggest issues with what is delivered is that there are no hard and fast rules
.......................
Sid published his results for today, which look impressive (+65 -4 +8 +2 -19 +17 +8 +5 +11 -8 +5 +8 +40 +12 -22 +12 +39 +15 -10 +20) but when pressed by members as to what his entries/exits were the silence was deafening! If he was just trading the GBP/USD pair he must have taken some trades without signals.
Education sessions, that were promised, have not materialised or have been curtailed, due to Sid being busy with other things. (I know that Sid has gone through some difficult times, but at the end of this we have all paid our money in good faith).
All the indicators are available for free in another bulletin board - someone more cynical than I might suggest that the entire CD was a collection of other people's material, gathered up and sold, but I couldn't possibly comment.

trendie said:sid,
just read your post.
is it possible to just "clear the decks" and start from scratch, and post real-time trades for a couple of weeks, as you did at the beginning ?
that was, after all, the cause of all the interest in TS in the first place.

PTS_user said:I would encourage people to post their success stories (along with pips).
trendie said:The problem is, people who are disillusioned are more likely to make a fuss than those who still beaver away at something. This may give a disproportionately bad vibe to a thread.
There may be many subscribers who are battling on yet, or are doing well. Until we hear from them, it may be difficult to assess the true ratio of good to bad.
( it naturally follows that people who make significant money tend to be too busy spending it to post on boards !! )
however, one issue that sid392 has himself pointed out in response to PTS_user that I am interested in is:
sid392 refers to
"hmmmm me thinks not today at 6.45am i gave you target not just targets BUT on the SODDING NAIL TARGETS."
and
"you dont follow them your fault, personally i got them. "
The question is:
does TrendSpotter not give the user COMPLETE rules to enter and exit ?
or is the user DEPENDENT on sid132 to GIVE the targets ?
are the people who buy TS capable of arriving at the "sodding nail" targets all by themselves ?
