Re: Cavemanforex.com Challenge
I originally came to the cyber world of forex forums in defense of a baseless accusation by someone who posts on several forex forums under the pseudonyms: Forex Savior, Forex Figure and Forex Scholar (see post at
Are Your Funds Safe? NFA to Shut down small forex fcms ) suggesting Cavemanforex had no value and was run by a charlatan.
Up till then, I had never visited a forex forum. This accusatory post was brought to my attention by several of our Neanderthal brethren.
It is my understanding the purpose for these forums is to share information and NOT for the promotion of a website. To that end I sent off a memo to our upset members requesting them to stand down and refrain from defending us as I would deal with it. Thus, you may have noticed the lack of posts coming to our defense.
Conversely, an astute observer would have also noticed there has not been a single post on ANY forex forum anywhere from anyone who has joined our clan and was dissatisfied? Not one… and I’ve had the Trogs out scouring as many forums as we could find. Either no one actually reads these forums or we’ve just got a lot of happy people making money. One would think if the baseless accusations had even a smidgen of truth, there would have been at least a few negative posts from people who have joined us, had they been dissatisfied. After all, you can’t please all of the people all the time, right? … but again… not one.
I have been perfectly willing to put my Cro-Magnon uni-brow on the chopping block (see posts at

Well the challenge has just finished its fourth week and, while 4 days does not a challenge complete, to date it has netted 395 pips. Had anyone had the insight to play the signals with just a miniscule .25 mini lot per trade, they would have already earned more than the 89 bucks it costs to become one of us.
Now contrary to our agreement, Forex Savior/Figure/Scholar, as of this post, has only reported on the first week. Perhaps that was due to week 1 being the only down week so far even though his account made a profit. Perhaps it’s just because he is a busy guy. Either way, the original slander came from him. It seems only appropriate and honorable that he should be the one reporting on its validity and posting a retraction when warranted.
Regarding our low price scorned in the original post… do you really think I make my money on an $89 fee? My money is earned on the 5+% ROI compounded every week in my account. I’ll let you do the math. It is low to make it affordable to everyone. If it were free, it would be perceived to have no value and therefore would not be taken seriously and certainly not utilized.
This forum thing has taken up far too much of my time, so I do not expect to be posting any further. For those who are genuinely interested in how the challenge turns out, our Wednesday Free Picks page will continue to operate for you to judge for yourselves.
To the negative people and naysayers, and you know who you are, I empathize with you. I understand how bitterness can grow from not having the stones to trade in this market… most likely due to heavy losses incurred from a lack of understanding. Hey… I’ve been there!
But don’t give up. You would do well to heed the wise words of Charles F Haanel who, in 1912 wrote:
“The mind may place the ideal a little too high and fall short of the mark; it may attempt to soar on untrained wings and instead of flying, fall to earth; but that is no reason for not making another attempt.”
One last thought. I have a deeply rooted personal mission statement? It is to have a positive influence on every single person I come in contact with, directly or indirectly… even my ex-wife. So I leave you with a gift. It’s a free download at:
