And you know, that's fine. Like I said, healthy skepticism is a good thing.

I also don't have a problem with people asking legitimate questions about the system, how it works, and why things are done the way they are. I'm happy to do it.

What scammers usually do around here is post about their great system that makes X number of pips per day, and then tell people to send them an email to learn more about it. That's what scammers do, and that's what you did, so people think you are running a scam.

The fact that we have to go to your free trading room or website to get answers means you are using Babypips as advertising, which is against the rules and the main reason people are skeptical of you. I know you're running a free trading room, but you also run a $500 per month trading room, and it seems you're just on Babypips to get more members, not to help anyone. I know you're helping people in your free room, but that's what scammers do! Help people here, for free, and then people will stop shouting "scam!"
Okay, here is the problem. The system has multiple videos, several indicators, scritps, and all kinds of things. WELL beyond the attachment limit of this board. So, I couldn't attach the system to a post.

Further, until recently I had fewer than 50 posts so I couldn't just link to the site.

As for the trading room ... you are right, I do have a paid room. BUT I ALSO still run the free room, no strings attached, no nothing.

Lots of people are sticking with the free room, and I'm fine with that.

Now, it is also true that if I have a scheduling problem I'll drop the free room, but hey, it's free.

Someone could hang out in the free room forever, picking up 150 pips per day, and I'll be fine with that.

The truth of the matter is that anyone attending three to maybe 10 live trading sessions probably won't need the live trading room anymore because the system is so easy they'll understand it and can trade it on their own.

Attending from there is just a nice to do thing because of all of the people that do attend there's some interesting conversation and joking that goes on.

I think the best thing you could do is stop trying to direct people to your website and post an explanation of your system here, and then help people understand and learn to trade that system here. If you did that then most of the naysayers would go away, because it would obvious you aren't scamming anyone.
How about this. SimpleTradeForex

It's free, there's no commercial intent, no links off to any other site, the trading room is free and open to all whenever I do one. In fact I'll be doing a free live trading session today at noon eastern.

There's nothing there to buy, and everything someone would need to get started. In fact an experienced trader could probably take what's there and trade the system without the trading room at all.
