Steve Griffiths runs a good shop at MTP. I am not a programmer, and I had no problem paying (if memory serves) about $1200 for the software a bunch of years ago. Today, at $2500/copy, I'd pass. If he'd drop the price back to $1400-$1500, I'd recommend the software to anyone, especially if one is interested in trading using EW and fibs. MTP also comes with a two part trading course. The first part I believe is free, and can be downloaded from their website, but part two is only delivered after purchasing the software. It is very good material, in my opinion. I do not know what prompted the MTPredictor folks to raise the price as they have, but I admit that the trading course alone is a great "value-added" to their software.

As for the positionsizing.com software, as I said, the ATR stop can be found for free for just about any of the common charting platforms, and though I am not a programmer, a friend of mine easily added the position sizing calculator to an .efs for me back when I was still using e-signal. To charge almost $900 for it seems a bit outrageous. I'm sure some of the smart folks we have right here at TL could program a position sizing calculator for Ninjatrader, Multichart, tradestation, etc. and so on.

Best Wishes,

First off it sounds like you have an agenda of some sort. I bought positionsizer for $595 on sale from $695. Not 900 as you state. Go right ahead and program if you can find someone to do it.

As well Find me an AUTOMATIC ATR that manages my stop order at the broker by moving the order up while I am in the bathroom or whatever. Please find it for me and post the site here. Everytime the ATR price line moves my stop order is changed at the broker. You really post nonsense my friend!!!

API Programming cost $300 an hour and not $100 an hour like normal programming. Just go to fxcm if you want or need to verify the coding prices. I said. "OK, pay $595 for an order entry add-on that gets my order sized and filled at the broker so I am in the trade in less that 5 seconds is worth $595 to me. Especially since API coding cost $300 an hour!"

So thanks for telling me I got ripped off even though I did not. Kind my friend, Just makes you look bitter. Sorry you cannot afford $595 or $695. This post was about risk management. Not how much I paid for my software and then telling me I got ripped off.

I am out of here. Forums suck. Too many idoits!

No need to get testy and run off like a little girl because your feelings got hurt.

With a little work you can program this yourself in platforms such as Sierra Charts, and save yourself some money.

thanks for the offer...

I don't have anything particular in mind.
I asked, because you are so enthusiastic about what you are doing...
and words just do not do justice to all the analysis and actions you were taking.

I think any short snippet would be an eye opener.

Yes, I am full of agendas. That's why I started a thread titled "Position Sizing Software" to tout the benefits of a specific software available at positionsizer.com. Oh, wait, that was you.

As to the cost, I overstated it by $110 ($695 + $95), so shoot me. If I had hit the "8" rather than the "9" would you still be upset?

You really didn't read my posts, did you? Bitter? I'm not bitter at all. What is there here for me to be bitter about? I never said you got ripped off. I merely suggested that if someone were going to pay what positionsizer.com was charging, that they might consider paying the extra $1600 and get MTPredictor (which I also feel is overpriced).

I do suspect that you have an interest in positionsizer.com beyond that of a mere customer, and your behavior here this afternoon would seem to support that suspicion. As I said in my first post, I may be wrong. But your own behavior seems to support rather than undermine that suspicion. The specific behavior in question I refer to is your ranting about the $110 discrepancy between what I quoted as the cost and the actual cost per your company's website, as well as your ad hominem attack on me (e.g. "sorry you cannot afford...," "you have an agenda of some sort," "makes you look bitter.") All of which makes you sound like a vendor. Again, I may be wrong, but you sound like a vendor or a paid shill.

Best Wishes,

Thales

Not to mention some people just program for fun. (others of course would rather have thier fingernails pulled out with pliers).

PT of course it is up to you whether you post or not but I would not be deterred just because someone is sceptical. Nine times out of ten when a person comes on to a forum and enthuses about software it is because they are the vendor. Simple as that. It is natural for people to be a bit cautious. Anyway Hope you change you mind.
