Isn't a firm fixed amount called a price and not a donation?

Yes.

Keep in mind I've dranked the red - green - and - purple kool aide;

My personal preference is the purple. Call it what you like, it is by far the best money I've ever spent, p$%&!d away, donated, lost, invested, etc ... in my trading education ever, ever, ever.

Best of luck and great success to you in your trading future.

my only criticism of TRO is his unwillingness to offer backtestable code for his theories.

i have stated in other forums that i think his indicators are inspirational, however without the ability to test on enough data, they remain only theories.

Where there is a will, there is a way that will be found. I agree with you jb about backtesting and respect TRO's reasons for not offering autotraders; I thinks it is spelled -l-i-a-b-i-l-i-t-y and slip and fall lawyers and lots of people who don't take responsibility for their actions.

There are some great programmers right here on Kreslik, and I work with got a great programmer in Australia. I've been a believer in trading and autotrading since I learned how to spell commputter.

1) Most people do not know how to back test properly.

2) I provide source code so you can make it "back testable".

3) I post opportunities in REAL TIME and you have at least 5 minutes to get ready to take advantage of them. Then I post results. Who else does that on a regular recurring basis?

4) I have made many frequency distribution indicators that show how profitable the setups can be.

@Jimbob

IF I may, I've been trading all sorts of different setups and I have found that the TRO NLA and the RAT setups have been ones where I can realize the most profit, whereas before I was waiting for MACD cross overs and MA cross overs. I now just ride the pivot, fib and resistance support bounces that are out there and with great results... I hardly ever even need to enter a stop loss as price moves in the direction that it should... All that is required is a little bit of patience and an observation of what is happening as apposed to what 'should' be happening when you get a MACD Buy signal ect...

The proof isn't in the pudding... Its in the tasting... If it works it works... nuff said
