Dave got a bunch of testers to put the system through
the usual real life testing. I completely forgot about it but
was delighted to hear some very positive feedback. The
strategy worked as claimed – aiming as it does to just
pick up 10 points a day either trading in the morning or
evening using a simple indicator-based system.
But what made this stand out, was the almost
universal praise for the support and encouragement
given by Wilson to all his students. Not only does he
offer very personal email support and guidance, he also
sends out regular emails showing his trades plus (and
this really does set him apart from many others), he is
very much focused on helping to debvelop a positive
trading mentality.

become a more successful trader faster and with less
risk and stress.
