What's the scam?

Beginner Questions
#1

Ok whats the scam? I keep getting these free forex expert advisors and free mechanical trading system in my email. All of them with a bs story how they want to give me this free sytem that has consistantly earned $300 a day and all this stuf.

ive gotten robinhood as of lately and before that a scalping one and an elliot wave 3 wave trading system. It seems that the other affiliates have jumped on distributing these free systems like forexkiller and forexautocash im waiting for fapsturbo to jump on board too.

why are they sending me this stuff and do they realy think that Im going to run a robot on my account with virtually no information about it???

my only guess is they are trying to get alot of people to trade the exact same way to drive price. Does that seem crazy or what?

what do you guys think???

#2

and you thought the last site you went to was a porn site !!!

LOL

seems you stepped into the motherlode of EA selling sites, and now they got your email

but aside from that, your last question is VERY interesting simply because thats what is done with penny stocks — by advertising and spamming (no not me) people were able to influence the direction of a stock rather easily, but mostly for their OWN gain as they would begin buying a few days before the “pump” and then announce to all that xysd was going UP – and looking at a chart, one could see it was going up, so millions of shares got bought.

as the stock would reach each significant resistance area, the “pumpers” would buy more, pushing the stock price higher, until that one moment when they would SELL into the buying frenzy going on, removing millions of shares in seconds, and imagine what happened next ?

thats why its called “pump and dump”

and the stock would NEVER see that price again !

while forex may not be that blatant, and it is a continuous trending animal, a version of that behavior is why currencies go up and down.

all this talk of porn and pump and dumps lol!!!

I just can’t figure out there agenda coz there is no offer to buy anything or any type of affiliate link. At first I thought they want me to install their robot on my account and gain access to my money and information.

But they also send me these free mechanical systems. ill paste an email or 2 so you guys can see.

BTW I removed all the links

Hi, john

I want to share my latest creation with you (complimentary
of course!)… one of the best software tools I have ever
designed.

Now, pay close attention because what I am about to give
you is not available anywhere else. Not only that, I will
only share it with my subscribers and for a very l.imited
t.ime.

Here it goes…

Most of the people I have met that use MetaTrader simply
LOVE it. It’s a great trading platform, allows us to trade
with much more flexibility, has many inbuilt functions,
allows us to back-test systems, and so much more.

But…and here is the BIG but…

MetaTrader does have a few limitations… limitations that
bothered me, and many other Forex traders as well. I suppose
that like with any piece of software, there are always ways
to improve it… sometimes dramatically!

Anyway… welcome to the Forex Oracle MT4 Add-In!

What Forex Oracle does is quite simple… it takes MetaTrader
and adds quite a bit of �turbo� power to it… puts it on
steroids, so to speak :slight_smile:

Forex Oracle adds some incredible features to your MetaTrader
and you will be truly amazed with the advantage you will have
over other Forex traders… and that’s what it’s all about,
being on top of the game, right?

Now, treat Forex Oracle nicely since it took a long time and
a few thousand dollars to create. I actually had to hire a
professional MT4 programmer to help me with this job (took
over 2 months to develop, test, tweak and create the manual!)

You can download Forex Oracle and the complete setup manual
here:

Make sure you read the manual first as it explains exactly
what Forex Oracle does and how to use it.

Here are some of the many features you will find:

  • Audible Alerts of price levels, margin, equity and balance
  • Audible Alerts when price retraces
  • Exact LIVE pip value of each pair traded
  • Current REAL live spread
  • Lowest margin you are allowed to reach
  • Your account’s current balance
  • Net balance of all open trades
  • Your local time, your broker’s server time and GMT

PLUS… over 20 additional features that MetaTrader does not
o.ff.er… all displayed in a convenient, easy to follow and
understand manner.

Being a successful trader is all about counting on the absolute
best and most accurate LIVE information… having what others
don’t have.

If you use MetaTrader or are thinking of using MetaTrader in
the future, The Forex Oracle MT4 Add-In is an absolute must.

Download it here before I decide to take it off the market:

Last… remember, although Forex Oracle is very easy to use
and understand, I have created a top notch manual that will
guide you, step-by-step, how to install and operate it.

I hope you enjoy it… but most importantly, I KNOW it will
put some serious muscle into your Forex trading!

All the best,

Martin Alexander

[B]Links Removed[/B]

Hi, John I would like to thank you for requesting my Forex course - The Robin Hood Mechanical Forex System.

I am sure you will enjoy the system for 2 very simple reasons:
it is easy to implement and it works!
As with anything else we learn in life, there is a very important sequence we must follow in order to achieve success… in order to fully �milk� what we are learning. This is no different in Forex… probably just that much more important.
I do not know if you are new to Forex trading or whether already have some trading experience.
Regardless, I do ask you to go through the material in the following order:

  1. Read the eBook once
  2. Make notes of what you did not understand
  3. Re-read the eBook and try to fully understand the points you did not fully grasp during your first reading
  4. Watch the videos once
  5. Take notes while watching the videos and compare them to what you have learned in the eBook
  6. Watch the videos again
    I know how eager most people are to start making mo.ney right away, and that is perfectly fine… it is human nature. I just want to point out that the markets will still be there tomorrow� next week� next month. Your trading capital, however, may not be quite so resilient if you do not stop and invest time, effort and apply discipline now. So, please take your time - go over the material in the way that I have recommended. Then - and only then - start by demo trading the system until you feel comfortable and confident with it. Important:
    ========
    I will be in touch from time to time with details of updates to the strategy plus educational content such as lessons (PDF and video formats), articles, important news, etc. With that in mind, I am sure that you are aware how unreliable email has become in recent times - efforts to reduce the amount of junk mail that reaches peoples’ inboxes have been almost totally ineffective and have just made it harder for legitimate and important information to reach its intended recipient. Having said that, doing something as simple as adding… …to your address book will help prevent information I send you from being blocked, so please do that now. Again, thank you very much for joining the Robin Hood FX team � let me wish you all the best in your trading endeavors. Regards Daniel Malaby

wildly interesting

i have never seen this type of advertising or spam but i remain a very suspicious person where this type of thing is concerned - - - -

if its too good to be true, then its too good to be true !

and offering this up to you, because someone likes the color of your eyes or something, just doesnt sit well with me ---- make sure your malware and virus checkers are scanning your email !

when he calls you on the phone, find out whats up !

im certainly interested in whats happening

Hehe Johnny,
Are you sure you did not subscribe to Yahoo metatrader group? This is one of the email threads in there, and from what you describe about people just offering you “other” indicators and system.

husky now that you mention it i might have subscribed a couple months ago but i never got any confirmation and these emails are not identified as belonging to a yahoo group.

What’s the #1 thing marketers need in order to prosper?

Hint: It’s NOTHING to do with “pump and dump”

Traders need to understand that the VOLUME traded in the OTC (Over The Counter) Retail Forex trade, has zero effect on the World FX markets. That privilege (creating Volume) belongs to the Banks and Interbank clearing houses.

Pump-and-Dump is non-existent in FX - unless it’s in the news feed emailed to you by your local bucket-shop-OTC-dealer. (Forex Yard is really good at calling the market 180 degrees to the correct trend … be warned).

No - what the “Free” marketers really want is your email adress - from which they lin you to their affiliates. Of course you will not complain because you did ask for the info - and you would not mind alse being let in on another “exclusive” release" … would you?

Delete … delete … and don’t bother with free stuff unless from a reputable site like this one. If it’s any good, it will be subjected to the scrutiny and critique of regular traders.
