See what others are saying ............(these are comments from emails I have received, and are available if there is any doubt over their origin).
=====
..... by the way I think your site is a great effort at giving a balanced and educated view on trading systems. I have been trading for a long time and there is a lot of garbage out there. Well done .....
=====
..... BTW I like your _ _ _ _ _ (editor's deletion). I was looking at a different method but your _ _ _ _ _ (editor's deletion) looks good. I've always thought that most system designers didn't give enough thought to, in your words, a _ _ _ _ (editor's deletion). I guess when its your own money you think of such things.....
=====
.....Thanks for your system. Your manual is excellent.
=====
..... may I say that it has been a refreshing change and a pleasure to deal with you and to be able to watch trades in real time, up front, transparent, bloopers and all. Go SpiTrader in 2002, and the Wallabies, the Brisbane Lions, the Broncos and Queensland in general.
=====
..... your system is superbly robust!!!!!!!! it is PURELY based on _ _ _ _ _ (editor's deletion) and the good thing is that there is no parameter to set and ALL the thing is changing in the market except _ _ _ _ _!!!!!!! (editor's deletion)....... is this the BEST system you have ever traded in your life so far ?!?! I wish it is because I think it is the BEST one I have ever seen so far in my life.....
=====
..... Hi Brent. I got the manual last night..... I had a flick through your manual, read the first 13-15 pages and I have (had) a brief read of the money management and psychology. I will go through the whole manual in detail later.
I have some comments and a few questions.
The psychology part is the MOST interesting I have ever read. I (have) read a few trading psychology books and none of them depicted trading psychology as "realistic" as yours.
The _ _ _ _ _ (editor's deletion) is very very important and I never thought about that.....my plan is that I will start with $20,000 for one year, make sure I can trade SpiTrader flawlessly, then I will get serious, using more capital since you need a big capital to make the most of money management well to get good profit, as shown my your calculation.....
=====
..... I am enjoying SpiTrader very much so far, I couldn't agree with you more regarding our group, thanks to your foresight in developing this unique group I and others will benefit greatly from it.
I had browsed the SpiTrader site some time ago due to your add in the QLD ATAA news letter, the system cost $1,500 then.
I had SpiTrader in my favourite web sites and visited from time to time checking monthly trade results (very sneaky), by this time the price had gone up to the current price and I thought you silly bugger serves you right for stuffing around so long.
BUT wait, fortunately now there was more, this is probably the only time stuffing around has paid off for me, now I could trade with the Trader as a Buddy, that was the clincher for me.
Your daily emails help to make it all come together.
If the Trading Buddy offer wasn't there I would probably still be procrastinating instead of doing.
=====
..... Thanks for all your help during 2001 and I look forward to 2002 eagerly.
=====
..... god bless SpiTrader, may it prosper again and prosper more in 2002 and onwards!!!!!!!
=====
.....I'm impressed with you and SpiTrader...
=====
..... the SpiTrader agreement is on its way to you.
I contacted Andrew McKinnon after reading his testimonial on your (SpiTrader) web site ..... and he was full of praise for you and your system. I am looking forward to joining the club!
=====
..... I want to take this opportunity to thanking you for your friendship and guidance over the past year. I consider myself lucky to have come across a good person like yourself and wish you the very best that life has to offer in all facets of your life for the year to come.
=====
..... looking forward to joining your group.....I will send through the agreement early next week.....
=====
.....I am currently using Marketcast with Market Analyst II..........to trade intra-day some Gann and Kagi swing trading ideas that I have been fiddling with for a while. Unfortunately the SPI doesn't trend for long enough in the very short term to make the systems profitable in their current form.
My wife would probably tell me that I should give up the whole thing and just use SpiTrader!
Good result so far from Mir on Friday!
=====
..... my procedure is to write out my order before I look at your email and I am getting most of them right now, but am still making the occasional slip up. It is great to have the email as reference. I then fax the broker so there is no verbal confusion. Thanks again.....
=====
..... sounds like you had a great holiday welcome back. I didn't go to bad for a novice whilst you were away..... I got set on ……(editor’s deletion) on the ........(editor’s deletion) .grossing $325 and ……. (editor’s deletion) on the .......(editor’s deletion) .grossing $850. Yahoo!!
=====
.... the emails have been great and SpiTrader is so easy to complete the daily work for.....
=====
..... another Yahoo!! for SpiTrader, what a system, go ...... (editor’s deletion)
=====
.... I have done excel templates to record my trading...... and trading plan. I have typed up my own daily routine as well. Now I am paper trading and I have been following the daily routine for a few days now and it seems (to be) running well.
I do all the things, updating my plan ..... looking up the patterns myself, and writing down (the) orders.
Then I check your SpiTrader email to check if I get it correct.
Hopefully I will sort out the broker in Nov and start to trade with real money on 1st December.....
=====
....thank you for sending out SpiTrader so quickly. I have read it through several times so far and I'm sure some of the fog will clear in time, looks great. "The Futures Hand Book" is excellent helping to clarify some of the terminology. Your E-mails are beaut and will certainly help the understanding process....
=====
..... this is a nosy question, how many SpiTrader (systems) have you sold so far? I just want to know how many people have this "awesome" system. Personally I have it is a "real gem". You must have spent lots of effort to develop this. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to....
=====
..... Brent - wow I'm impressed with SpiTrader. A great system resulting from your experience, hard labour and brainwork!.....
=====
..... Hi Brent....a big thanks for taking your time out on Saturday to help us out..... time is such an important commodity in these times and it certainly was most appreciated.
As for SpiTrader it all looks pretty exciting, and I am getting organised to hit it.
I will speak to Man this week to get my account organised and negotiate brokerage etc., and then try to get my VBA moving a little more to enable me to complete the testing.
What was really exciting for me was one the simplicity of SPITRADER, and secondly this is the same approach I have been taking on the SPI since October last year..... I tell ya it was so uplifting for me on Saturday when I realised it was on the same track I had been travelling.....
=====
..... you have put a lot of effort into this and it looks good. WELL DONE!.....
=====
..... thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your system .....I believe you have thoroughly and diligently applied yourself to this are being justly rewarded. Short term system trading is the way to go for me..... I shall return the agreement shortly.....
=====
.... it certainly was nice to catch up with you all.....trading is such a lonely pursuit and it certainly provides great benefit to share our experiences with the group. It is a kind of therapy in that we get to see that we are all facing similar hurdles.
Brent thank you for allowing us to trade your system.
I am aware of the time and effort you have expended on its development, which has been over a period of many years.
Your strict discipline in regards to testing does in fact give us a nice level of comfort. I have taken your points with respect to our personal testing. That is something you have stressed since I first met you 15 months ago and have done ever since. I totally agree it should form the basis before an idea can become reality.
I have been at this since 1997 and I have learned so much in that time but your experience adds another 10 years of sweat to my tally and I appreciate your honesty in imparting what you have learned in that time.
I will sign the docs and return them to you asap.
I am really looking forward to trading SPITRADER.....
=====
..... Brent, I echo the groups sentiment and greatly appreciate your generosity.....it is so valuable to have someone in the group who is willing to share their years of knowledge and experience.....I will return the confidentiality agreement next week.....p.s I'm off to Penfolds now to get my graph paper!.....
=====
..... hey, thanks again Brent for your kindness and generosity with letting us trade your system. It is appreciated by all. I'll get the papers back to you shortly.....
=====
..... thanks Brent, I should have asked you first if you had done the adjustment to current values.
I must admit I found the fact that you had quite a plus for you and your attitude to novices like me.
I was reflecting a little more on the events earlier in the week and it also occurred to me that we could also still have been in the long position overnight. Then our stop would have been jumped and..... well, that's life.
As always thanks for your help. My wife and I are off for a week in the bush so trading is on hold for a few days from today.....
=====
.... I've been following the system and the first trade in which I got set was 17th instant and so have had only the one entry which as you know was a loser. I copped 4 points slippage on the entry and 2 on the exit so my result was negative $1023 incl brokerage. There seems to be some sort of a rule that any new system starts with a drawdown. I check the market and try to work out entry patterns and orders before I read your email, and find I can follow the system quite well. As the numbers are in favour of the system, I have to take the trades and wait for things to run their course.....
=====
..... congrats on the presentation in the manual - it is clear and easy to understand with even my limited knowledge of futures and I have enjoyed everything so far.....
=====
.....BTW - I'm sure you'd know there would be some mistakes there (in the manual), however I think you've done a grand job on the simplicity of the system and manual.....
=====
..... Good result on your ROLEX (trade) this morning..... pity I didn't start yesterday. I am actually looking to start Monday.....
=====
.... Hi Brent,
Still here in Oz.....my immigration papers are taking a little longer to approve then anticipated!
It was really nice to catch up with you last week and hear a little more about what you are up to.
Well done on your projects at hand, and I really wish you all the very best.
It is so refreshing to see someone doing something really positive for all the traders out there and most importantly willing to provide them with some direction. I believe you will do really well with SpiTrader for the simple fact that you are willing to back up what you preach or teach.
People are not as stupid as some other promoters might like to think, and I believe you have demonstrated this respect for your target market with your product.
I will be watching your progress closely and look forward to trading your stuff when I return to OZ. As I mentioned..... if you need any testimonials to kick start the website...pls feel free to use my name to write one.
I offer this because of my respect for you firstly as a reputable person, and secondly as a trader who has paid their dues over the years......
