  1. Tomislav, I respect your opinion. I am not too proud to learn from Bugs Bunny. I grew up watching his "teachings".

    If he has a Forex method, I am ready to take notes. I tried the I-I search engine but could find nothing. If he did that well this week, then, success speaks for itself. I'm sure there is a clue there somewhere, but, it may take me weeks to figure it out on my own, if ever. :-$

  2. Yes, I read all the posts before posting. And yes, we can learn lessons from Bugs and Daffy.

     

    Regarding post #14 - I find it amusing that the customer service agent was able to confirm that the account was real without being given the full account number, based only on the fact that both demo and live accounts have the same amount of digits. If I had a dollar for every time a customer service agent at a Brokerage either lied to me, or simply just "gave out false information without checking it out", I could retire today. I take what they say with a "grain of salt", remembering "who they are" and "who they work for". Especially since the subject of "sequential order numbers" was not addressed in the communication. And sequential order numbers are simply "big red flag" in any "supposed" live statement.

     

    Regarding post #17 - I have no argument with it. It was well thought out, and was giving the "benefit of the doubt" of the service agent actually knowing what she was talking about, as opposed to (in most situations) "patting the client on the head" like a dog, and saying, "Everything is OK. Come join us anytime..."

     

    My post was in support of #17, only I was suggesting an alternative to making such a statement with "not as much" editing required by simply using a demo account. Nothing more, nothing less.

     

    I assure you I would have not made the post if at least one other person made the observation of the "consecutive order numbers" on the statement which is a big "no-no" when fabricating a live statement. :P

  3. Exactly. They change their name every 3 or 4 weeks. So, it is difficult to close them down. The only thing all their names have in common is that "none" of their products even came "close" to the "explanation" of how the product works, offered on their sales pages. They just hire more actors who will say whatever the script tells them. Even if the script is pure "fantasy". :huh:

     

    I have my suspicion when they claim they are making millions. Then why are they still need to sell the product? If they are already making millions, they should give it for free, if they are sincere about making other traders.

     

    After I click on the trial for free for three days, they brought me to the payment screen where I need to pay USD 1. Thought it was for free! Then I saw a highlighted text, Recurring Payment Terms, move my mouse over and I saw the details, it like,

     

    First Charge: $1.00

    After three days: $97 per month.

    Without seeing this hidden text, one would thought they will pay only $1.00 for the trial and not realizing that they have signed for the services already until the following month when they see the charge on their credit card statement. Shrewd!

     

    Be careful with them.

  4. Just be careful when you visit their web page. If you have ever purchased ANY of their previous products (they come out with a new product every 3 or 4 weeks) they keep your credit card number on file and charge it AUTOMATICALLY. I contacted Plimus about this today and they have received numerous complaints that credit cards are being charged just by "viewing" their web pages. If you view the upsell, then you get charged for that also. So, just going to their web site, your card might be charged 4 different times. One of the charges, alone, is $497!!! Yes, they are probably the same people as Hybrid Pips, and Chaos, since both of those companies also "automatically" charge your credit card, even though you never went to their "purchase" page. Plimus claims they may close their account, but I was also told that over 3 weeks ago. So, we will see. :?:
  5. Yes. I am a little confused about this. It says that it is not a robot, but then further down it describes that it will trade for you while you are away from your computer.

     

    Is this another case where a promo is copied from another indicator, and used to sell a robot? :-?

     

    If we summarize his website:

    I called my soft "pipsrobot", but it is not a robot!"

  6. I'm sure the developers are probably laughing right now with their sense of humor (what they claim to be selling on both web sites, and what you are actually getting). [Hint: There is no "supercomputer" signal when you buy Hybridpips, and there is no limited release "Mr. X" genius behind the Chaos signals method.] It is just the same guy (or bad robot) making the same "bad" trades on "both" accounts. They are probably laughing harder that it took "so many days" to make this discovery and put it out here on this forum". :P
  7. Warning...The Hybridpips people are sending out an email link to view the Chaos website (which is also their own product). When you click the link, your credit card is automatically charged $149! They apparently have a database with your credit card information, if you have ever purchased any of their other EAs. I was contacted by Plimus about the charge, and I had to dispute it. Never happened to me before.... :-O

     

    And I checked their updated performance link today, and it is still losing money: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/greedycherry/gc-eur/120869

     

    Now here is the fun part. When you pay for HybridPips, and select "Victor" as your trader, they offer the same trading link as above (....gc-eur/120869) for Victor's "current performance" chart.

     

    So "Victor" AND "Chaos" is the SAME trade signal, with two different names (and 2 separate payments). So, if you already have the HybridPips EA (posted on this Forum) you ALREADY own "pipschaos"! :-O =D> ;))

  8. Some people I spoke with said that it cost $149 when you get to the Plimus page. But, there are multiple upsells, for monthly fees, $500 club memberships, etc. ;)) And (this is the best part), it is brought to you by the people who sell: Forex NoHype, Forex Genetic, Hybridpips and Pipscloner.

     

    After you pay for it, you are "allowed" to see the "real" performance, how it has been doing for the past few weeks: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/greedycherry/gc-eur/120869 =))

     

    Hey, I was hoping it was real as much as you did. They have a human trader, probably the same guy that does their Hybridpips product, which also had a DD last week by "coincidence". :(

  9. I just wish these people would spend more of their talent making the EA work, rather than on the "promotions page". They make it sound so tempting, that you want to get it "right now". They press all the right buttons making it smell like a "rose". Then when you buy it, there is no "rose" but rather a "black hole" that sucks all your money out of the account. :(

     

     

    I will trash this EA and stop testing. Its not worth

  10. I tried reaching their support, and my email gets returned. I know someone else who purchased it, but they still cannot get it to trade yet. It is supposed to be "self-educating" but, some people I have spoken with say that it is just a few lines of code.

     

    But, if anyone has good luck with it, I'm definitely interested in reading about it. I like to keep an open mind... :|

  11. It's amazing how the guy can look right into the camera and tell you that you don't even have to keep your computer turned on for the trade cloner to work. Then 5 minutes later, after you pay, you find out that there is "no" trade cloner in the package...:-O

     

    Reminds me of Hybrid Pips, where they told people that a "high-tech" super computer using a Neural Network, would do all the trades for you. Then after purchase, there is no high tech computer, just a regular trade-copier with a human at the other end. ;))

  12. I have wondered that also. The biggest problem is that professional marketers will "purchase" a poorly coded EA from a so-called "programmer". They don't bother to test it, and just market it, because there is always a "small percentage" of people who will not ask for a refund, because either they are rich and are too busy to argue, or are intimidated by all the email rebuttals from the seller, when trying to get a refund. So, if only 1% of the buyers do not ask for a refund, then the seller can make a small profit from $1,000 to $50,000, just from the non-refunds. And to produce the web page (with click and paste) may only take a day or two to put together. :-$
