Strignano Forex Signal Service Price Going Up Soon

Tom Strignano Forex Signals - RECOMMENDED

Tom Strignano Forex Signals - RECOMMENDED

Yes, you read it well. The outstanding Strignano’s Forex Signals Service. price will go up soon. This is not a marketing trick that many others enjoys doing, but this is for real.

The romour has been going on between the circle of the already existing members of this profitable service, and some of them also asked to close the doors for new members. Of course this is quite natural, since if you own something precious you do not want others to have it. This also applies to this service. People are making pips after pips so they don’t want others to be like them. This is the nature of the human beings.

How do I know? I am a proud member of Strignano Forex Signal Service, and I feel very lucky that I came to know this service by luck. Of course I have locked the current cheap price and you can do so too if you click on the link below.

My Own Experience
To be honest I am not making full use yet of the service, since I am endorsed with quite some bad habits that I got during all my trading life. And its very hard to get rid of these bad habits and replace them with the new successful strategies that you learn from Tom Stragnano Signal Service. Basically I lack discipline, I don’t stick to the system rules! :( If I have sticked to the rules of just 1 system out of 3 that you get when you enroll to the trade signal service, I could have done around 470 pips last week only. This week I am determined to stick to the rules and I will post my trades at the end of this week.

Tom Stragnano Expert Advisor
Another ‘funny’ thing is that Tom is releasing a robot, an expert advisor just only for the members like you if you join today. When I heard about this robot in the members area, I couldn’t believe it – especially knowing what bad robots can do your account. During a webminar some details about the robot were also given so I said – “WOW this is true – a Tom Stragnano Robot”. They also mentioned the amount of pips the robot managed to profit in 1 month – and I won’t say it since you will not believe it. The robot basically applies the most profitable yet simple trading systems Tom uses every single day.

In fact a profitable trading system should be KISS – Keep It Stupid Simple. In fact Codex System (TM) found in Forex_Confidante, yet it is a very simple system to apply, and being a software architect myself, it is very easy to be implemented. Yet 2 other system you find in the Strignano Forex Signal Service, are very straight forward systems, but delivers pips daily! So yes I believe in this robot!

See the email below sent by Tom, confirming the price increase and the robot. You should be stupid not to take the chance now and join the service. At the end of the day you have a 1 month trial – you get your money back!

Hey,

As your trusted friend and forex expert I wanted to
let you grab a real chance at making a killing in this
market and help you stop buying crap and losing cash…

You see everyone who’s a member of our signals
service is up by huge amounts…We have newbies
who are averaging insane gains of 800 pips a week.

The support and training crushes any other service out
there because we actually care about your success.

—————————————————
THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
—————————————————

With the signals and our support you will surely be
seeing incredible gains, and that’s why we can charge
what we do, but we really should charge 10x more.

And we’re thinking about raising our prices soon because
in about one more week all packages will include access
to an EA that trades 24/7 like I do…It’s unbelievable…

I never thought it could be done, but with the help
of an ex-NASA computer scientist who now trades
forex, I guess it really is as close to me trading for you
as can be possible…

It’s averaging some unbelievable numbers and will
only get better, and all members will have access to
it, if they don’t want to learn forex or follow the signals
this will trade for you 24 hours a day.

So, if you are interested, I wanted to ask you to join today
because we may very well be raising our prices as soon as we
announce this EA officially to the rest of the world.

Our prices may as much as double or more…

So if you want to see what it looks like on the inside
with a community of like minded traders all happy
and making lots of money trading together under the
mentorship of an ex-chief bank trader (myself) and
a team of incredible programmers lead by an ex NASA
genius and of course the amazing Carlos who is
an expert at helping you with the signals…

Forex Bling Review

Forex Bling - Could become the BEST Robot Ever. TRY IT FOR FREE

Forex Bling - Could become the BEST Robot Ever. TRY IT FOR FREE

So we got another new robot today – Forex_Bling. This looks to be an excellent robot, and not the similar crap we normally get by $99. Let me tell you how I came to know about this robot.

Yohanes R. Gagahlin contacted me personally to beta test his bling robot couple of weeks ago. We exchanged couple of emails and I confirm that Yohanes knows his job and he seems to be a very honest person.

The following is a short bio about Yohanes:

Yohanes R. Gagahlin is the founder of Switch Capital Management and Forex Hope, an international forex trader, trainer and speaker. He is a forex specialist with more than 10 years experience and he also managed funds for the past 3 years with an outstanding record of success.

Without doubt I got interested in the robot. When I personally contacted some robot owners prior their release, asking them for beta testing, no one really bothered to answer my request!

So what’s inside Forex Bling
You can read the sales page for great detail, but lets just give an overview of the robots, since then I want to talk why this Forex Bling got my attention, and hopefully we add this robot to our automated robot arsenal – is not that we have many anyway :)

So with Forex Bling comes basically 4 trading systems:

  • Scalper – Thunderstorm EA (*)
  • Trend Follower – Freedom EA
  • Breakout – Evolution EA
  • Grid Trading – Grid Specialist EA

Yes 4 robots and thats a nice mix of trading systems! In a nutshell you can use all the four in the same broker account. In fact this is what is recommended to do for optimal results.

You can find all the details in the product page.

Why Forex Bling got my eye:
These are the main reasons why I decided to purchase Forex Bling, after the successful 1 week beta trial.

Reason 1:
The robots where developed by a real forex trader, and not an internet marketer, hiring MT 4 developer from freelanced sites. So I presume that these robots should have an edge over the useless robots. Forex Bling should be better of course.

Reason 2:
Unlike many new robots, the results are back tests. How do I know? Just look at this picture.

typical robot back test - USELESS

typical robot back test - USELESS

That’s a back test, that is test based on old data. Of course the back data most often is modified to make the robot looks profitable. Then you wonder why the robot is not profitable for you, but it is for them. They have modified data in their favour – so it is not your fault.

Forex Bling have a statement similar to what I show in my results – directly from MetaTrader!

To see the live report, click the link below, then click the graph at Step 2. 1st July. Not bad isn’t ?

Reason 3:
It comes with 4 robots with completely different trading strategies. Very cool indeed.

Reason 4: Most Important
Market change all the time. Yes wave patterns for example change frequently. So the robot if not updated to support the latest market conditions, the robot will not be anymore effective. Fap Turbo is the classic example. It was profitable in the beginning, but then not anymore, since the creators have not updated the robot anymore. They ran with our money to put it bluntly, and I heard they are going to release another fap turbo soon – I heard, I don’t know.

Yohanes assured me that he has full team behind him doing constant research to find the best model for scalping, trend trading and breakout. Yes that’s unique, thus hoping the robot will last for long.

Hurry!
Right now the price is $99 for all the robots per qourter, so $33 per month. Yes from experience you need to pay good money to get a good service. This is no different. Have you ever bought a $99 robot that delivered results? Maybe Megadroid, but you should be lucky to get 2 – 3 trades a week. I love Megadroid by the way, since it is the only reliable $99 robot in the market, but trades very little.

Yes back to Forex Bling, right now it is $33 per month, and for the first 100 customers will get Fractals 4 trading system, a robot that generated $3 789.47 since mid July.

Again this is not a crap bonus, giving mostly my others. This is a real deal, a real robot that works. See the page for live results on this robot. Hurry to get the bonus, the purchase is from Clickbank and you have a 60 day money guarantee usual.

What Forex EA will do?
All in all, I purchased Forex Bling, will be trialing it for the next two months. I wish I will not get disappointed by this, since I have high hopes on this Forex Bling.

I suggest you also get your copy now, so as you lock the price of $33 per month. If it doesn’t work, and you will see my results here too, you can always claim your refund. You have nothing to loose basically.

IVYBot Final Judgement – Refund Requested

I have requested refund of the IVYBot robot since it is useless. It is very far away from what the creators of the robot said in their sales page.

To be honest I had hopes in this robot, since the sales page was different from the normal crap. They also updated their customers with newsletters of what is going on and they also released update of IVYBot. Although these could be tricks to reduce refunds as much as possible.

During the challenge we only had 2 trades, but you can follow the failer from other users, in my other blog here – IVYBot Review settings. It is the most active post in the blog.

Why I think this?
Initially they promised an update just 1 week after release, and they promised that the new release will be in a week. The new release was released 2 weeks ago, just about the first customers are due to their 60 day policy refund. A customer may think “wow we have a new version, lets give it more time. They also feel good about themselves and the robot’s customer service.” In no time, the 60 day trial expires.

I may be completely wrong, but this is the worst robot I even tested. It’s worse than Fap Turbo!

Final Judgement
At the end of the day, results count, and the robot failed to deliver completely.

Tom Strignano’s Forex Signals Service – Recommended

Well 2 days ago, I have subscribed to Strignano’s Forex Signals Service. This is top notch honest signal service and is one of its kind. In a nutshell you will receive the exact trades that Tom Strignano is doing, so basically you will be trading along with him. It is useless to explain the benefits of such approach. But to mention a few, it just eliminates the guess work, be profitable instantly, shortens your learning curve, elimates bad habits if you trade and learn on your own since you immediately learn the right way from one of the gurus in the industry. Tom Strignano has over 25 years of trading experience and he was a Chief Trader at 2 major international banks.

Anyway, yesterday I was travelling, so a quick look at the membership area, I got a bit lost, and yes a bit disappointed. But today I started to go slowly and watching the videos and follow their training. It happened that the more videos I watch, the more I was learning about the signals and the indicators and the rest and slowly I was falling in love with Tom. You don’t need to be a genius to realise that serious things are going on here, with no guesswork. This has filled me with confidence in their service and I have put three trades as per their signals. Till now, two trades, approx 50 pips, and the other one is still running. And I have only followed step 1 out of the remaining steps, which probably if I have followed the trade along the trend, I would have made more, but I have not yet went through the whole process so I can’t risk more than I have done already!

Well they promise that you can make 500 pips a day, and to be honest I don’t think this is far fetched or exagerated, as they normally are. I did 50 pips with 2 trades, only followed 1/6 of the whole trade! And during the day there were around 5 more trades which I did not take of course since I was still watching the introductory video.

The Strignano’s Forex Signals Service
The service is a monthly paid service and it is not cheap. But quality comes at a cost – always. No robot will make you this amount of Pips per day – forget it. Furthermore, a robot is a black box so you don’t know what is its next move and basically you are at the mercy of the robot. With Tom Signals, you know at every single minute of the trade what is your next move irrespective the conditions on the market.

What you get by subscribing:

1) signals – as I said I earned approx 50 pips in only 2 trades and only used 1/6 of the potential of each trade, that is I did not continue to follow the trade. Each trade had a stop loss of approx 35 pips which is very small compared to the profit that you can make. This is a big thumbs – small stop loss!

2) Apart from the signals, you will find other two other powerful systems with videos of how to leverage this systems to your advantage, of course apart from the signal service. The training is also archived, so in case you missed it or want to refer back to it, it is just there for you to make good use of it.

3) You will also get a powerful indicator that is of extreme importance for the signals and for your trades that automatically plots every single point on the chart. Of course I can’t reveal what it does, but it is the key for your success. With just a glance at the chart, you will know in advance whats your next move in the market with no guess work. This gives you an edge on all other traders.

4) They also do weekly training and webminars (may last more than 3 hours) where during the webminar they also do live trading so as you can better understand the signal service. Just let me know if there is another place that do this.

5) They also do a daily recap of all the signals that came out between 8am EST and 12pm EST, where they explain every single trade in detail, so as you furthen sharpen your trading skills and make more beneficual use of the signals, hence more profit to you.

6) All signals are received by email or worldwide. Right now I am in Sicily for a short break away from my boss, and I got the signals perfectly in time to place my trades when I wanted to – exceptional.

7) Risk management is of extreme importance and you will find extremely useful information on this critical subject. If you don’t control your losses, you are simply buried in few days. Being a trader myself (no I am not a guru) I never read anything similar to this strategy in all the books that I have read.

8) Excellent customer support and there is also a skype group where you will also find Tom himself in the group! How do I know that there customer support is exceptional? I had a small problem where I couldn’t find the indicator in my profile, and they replied first thing in the morning, solving me the problem of course – considering there is at least 8hours difference I was not pretending to answer me during the USA night :)

9) They also offer 30 day money back guarantee. You don’t like the service? Claim your money simple. It is not through clickbank, but I am sure they will honour their 30 day guarantee.

YOU CAN’T LOOSE SUBSCRIBE NOW

Final Thoughts:
This is a premium service and if you take it seriously you may earn some serious money. I know that right now the price is discounted and worth every money. I heard that they will increase the price soon and closing the subscription will follow shorty afterwards.

I am sure they will close the doors at some point since they basically offer you one to one training, if required. So to keep the quality of their service they have to close the doors. And yes from what I have seen they do take things very seriously, and loosing paid subscribers I am sure it is not in their list. So are you going to stay outside, or come in once the doors are still open?

New Blog
As I said somewhere in this blog, I am about to launch a new blog where I will be reviewing serious robots worth my time and your time, signal services, forex managed accounts, trading courses and much more. The main idea is to reduce scams and only purchase quality products worth your money and time. Yes there are serious companies and products out there, is just there is so much rubbish, that they are hard to find! The funny thing is that the crap is more popular than the serious products!

In fact I have another signal service which is completely automated, its live in my account and is producing pips after pips. It is not effective as Strignano’s Forex Signals Service, but doing nothing and see your account grow is worth the time and money. And yes there is a robot that in the last 2 days, produced 120 pips in just 3 trades . Yes it is not an $97 robot, it is much more expensive. And there is another robot coming out very soon which I am beta testing right now, and it is amazing. Again it will not be cheap.

Finally if you offer a quality service related to forex, or have a quality robot coming out, or you the reader use or know any quality service or product, please contact me or leave a comment below.

IVYBot Results August 14 and 22

Hi, Sorry for my slight disappearence but my home laptop Windows Vista decided to bust up. Anyway…so lets s start…

Trading Week 10th – 14th August: Winning Week
This was a great week for IVYBot. 7 trades, 7 winning trades.
Profit of $54.04 with 0.1 lots default settings.

One thing to note here is that IVYBot left a trade open on Friday which I didn’t like.

Trading Week 17th – 21th August: Confusing Week
Well I was waiting for a loss trade to calculate the stop loss IVYBot is doing by default, and finally we got one, more than one :)

I had one trade that I am sure of, with a loss of -$171.39, with 0.1 lots. My demo account is $1000, so basically 17.14% loss. NO GOOD. Your risk per trade must always be 2%-5% per trade – NO MORE, in fact recommended is 2%, but 17.14% loss is very bad, extremely bad.

It is a proven fact that even if your account falls by 50%, it will be very difficult to recover. With 17.14% risk, with 4 – 5 successive bad trades, then we can simply close everything down. And hey I am not an expert trader far for it, but I do trade and money management is the most important thing in Forex. Risk more than 5% per trade, keep waiting for your bad trade to become good, and you are wiped out in a day or two.

Anyway back to IVYBot, I still can’t understand why it is risking all that amount, for just 8pip profit!

There were some more good trades along the week, but is useless to talk about them with that -$171.39 loss since the profit is negligible.

And yes I have 3 yes 3 open trades by Friday with total loss between them of around $150. I bet this will end up with $500 compound loss.

Yes Monday morning I stopped IVYBot from my Live account since I knew something is wrong – thank God.

Action Plan for next week.
I will create a new demo account $1000, will set a stop loss of 5% per trade, that is 50 pips and see how it will go. This is how I was thought to trade Forex, and it is the only way that works, so if IVYBot do not like the stop loss than he may simply f**** off. :)

I will test with 70 pips as well although I am not very keen on this, but will do.

And apologies for not cooperating lately.

PS: Forex Decimator did some good trades, but eventually I got confused since with that demo account I am testing some expensive services (but are extremely reliable) and I got confused which trades were of Forex Decimator robot. :) hehe now I have separated everything.

Forex Decimator

Hi People,

ForexDecimator

A new robot is out just now – FOREX DECIMATOR.

Forex Decimator is a new, revolutionary robot that will allow you to profit consistently, in any condition and with unrivalled accuracy. It has a proven 92% winning trades accuracy, putting itself at the very forefront of Forex trading technology.

Forex Decimator’s incredible in-built money management rules mean that you will never see your profits wiped out with a single bad trade…A problem many other robots fail to solve.

GET YOUR COPY HERE

This is what they said. I have bought the robot since it is from ClickBank and right now the price is $97 for the first 200 users. I will be demo testing the robot and will post results.

A friend told me that they will sell only 500 copies of this robot. Whether this is a marketing stunt or not I don’t know. But if they sell only 500 copies than they care about their customers – in theory!

Anyway grab your copy now, since if the above is true, you may have missed a good robot. At the end of the day, if the robot proves to be shit, you can always claim your refund.

All these robots and scams coming out – why cheating the customers?

Lately a number of robots where released.  However for one particular robot, something funny has happened and wish to express my opinion with you in my blog.  I won’t mention the name of the robot as etiquette to the creator of the robot, although I know they don’t careless about their customers from their point of you.

 

First Landing Page

When the robot went on sale, they had one particular landing page.

 

In a nutshell, the landing page speaks about

  • A guy called XXXXXX – is a mathematical expert who has developed the system
  • The robot creater was broke and then met this guy XXXXXX that shared the system with him
  • The sales page mentioned a number of prices but ultimately the price was qouted.
  • NO MONEY BACK GUARANTEE – WOW WOW


I was going to buy the robot, but when I saw that there no warranty, I said FUCK OFF. With so many suckers and scams forget it I won’t risk my I money.


Second Landing Page

Few hours later, I received another email, and for some reason I clicked the link like an idiot.  To my amazement I saw another landing page with a different story!

  • Now we guy have no name since it cannot be revealed to the public
  • Now the guy is broke and not the creator of the robot like the previous story.
  • The creator helped the guy by giving him the system and not vice versa
  • NOW WE HAVE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE – WOW
  • The guarantee is not with clickbank – so my personal opinion FORGET IT

FOREX Systems – Aren’t we fed up with all these CRAP Landing Sales Pages?

Even if this guy may have the best robot in the market, I think he screwed everything by these landing pages.  It was more convincing the first landing page to be honest than the second one, but anyway.

I understand that Internet Marketers invent all emotional stories to generate sales, but with so many crap systems released every week, some buyers are being put off rather than emotionally triggered to buy the product.

And now it seems that there is this new trend to get away from Clickbank and use another company. Maybe these companies take less commissions than Clickbank, but  I believe the customer would love to really have money back guarantee.  I am always put off if the product is not bought through Clickbank.

I know that this can be abused and I understand the vendor point of view, BUT if you have a robot that really works, really delivers the promises of the landing page, really gives you financial freedom, I pay triple the price for the robot and not ask for a refund.

I am still waiting for that landing sales page which is HONEST, DOES NOT SELL YOU DREAMS BUT instead really sells you something of value, a system, or robot, or training course that really works with NO BULLSHIT.


Please share your point of view on this subject and tell us of good Forex honest services, courses etc which really delivers value to the customer and is worth every penny.

Changed Broker – now on Alpari

I have just changed the IVYBot robot to Alpari Broker since with Basic FX it the robot was a complete disaster.  I had another big loss trade of -$112.

I am reading elsewhere that the robot is doing good trades.  Jusat few hours ago our friend Teodore has posted his experience / results in this blog – see comment here - Ivybot Settings.  I have also taken Teodore advice and changed the broker.

I don’t know if the broker plays a very important role in the case of this robot, since IVYBot should be a long term trading robot – but anyway let’s see.

Up for next post and if someone have good / bad experience with this robot please go ahaead and post here.

IVYBot Settings

This will be a quick post.  I was asked by a number of this blog readers whether or not I am using the default settings or if I have already started tweaking.

From my side I am using the default settings, since I feel it is too early to start messing around with settings, although yes you can play around with back tests etc., but my question is:

If the creators of this robot have good intention and are good people and they are not scammers, they should have done the back tests themselves and the default settings should be the optimal.

Yes I am day dreaming, but I want to review the robot the way it was sold to the customer first, and then we will start optimising – if it will be worth our time.

Happy Weekend.
