    Re: Morning all

    Yeah, it's no fun at all. 90% of people lose money SBing, I happen to think it's more than that. You have to employ science and stats and then program a bot to trade on your behalf to stand any chance (unless you're one of the very few who have the right mindset to trade manually). Of course you have to have a decent strategy to program in the first instance.

    Effectively this is what we do. Devise trading strategies, conduct long-term back-testing and optimisation, trade them on a retail platform to prove them up then offer them out to clients on a monthly subscription. Sounds simple, super difficult.
