I agree with others that its not acceptable to promote an alternative commercial product for sale on this thread. It would also be good not to discuss results about any commercial alternatives on this thread which was set up primarily for Mark Fric's system.
Discussing free alternatives that can be used with Mark's original software is acceptable to me (eg Mark Wilson's discussion #4109/4112 about trading the swissy - having read the thread I can trade that if I choose without having to purchase anything more so that is helping the whole group to prosper. Likewise postings about backtesting or trading the other pairs using this software).
Presumably Travis's EA has some software changes that will mean the EA will work unattended on various times and this is the value that he is selling. Otherwise I can take his ideas which he has made available for free and look every 15 mins during the London open time to see if I get a signal. Thanks for that info Travis.
The only problem I see is that a commercial alternative is being promoted and discussed on this site. This amounts to stealing a client base. Someone at the beginning of Travis's 'exploitation' asked about the ethics and suggested that he come to an arrangement with Mark Fric. (Presumably like a royalty for every sale).
Those of us who have not purchased the alternative don't particularly want the thread dominated by people who want to tell us about their progress with software we don't have. Perhaps such discussions could be kept for Travis's own site now it is up and running. Anyone can join that site whether or not you have purchased the alternative software. Let's keep this site for discussion about the original FMT and variants this community can come up with using Mark Fric's software. At the same time postings (boastings?) about getting in or out of trades that the rest of us know about and presumably have taken are superfluous. All that does is broadcast Mark Fric's original system to those who don't want to pay the modest fee he requested.
