Yes. I enjoy trading, so why stop.

At first I found your message very disturbing since I am a new member to the SST. I was afraid, like you, I was duped. After giving it some thought I find your posting very irresponsible. The SST has only been on the market since August 2010. So assuming you were one of the first to purchase the system and did your 2 months of backtesting that would put you into mid October before you could have possibly started trading. You must have taken way too many trades in 2 1/2 months to blow through half your account. Also, with any system if you're talking about having 70% winners that would basically mean 8 winning months and 4 losing months. With any trading method you have to expect draw down periods. November has only 2 1/2 weeks of trading with the sst if you consider many traders stay out of the market a few days before the first Friday of the month and Thanksgiving week. If you traded then you did not have the volatility needed for the system to work properly. December is a month that historically has choppy price action. If I'm looking at a years period and know the odds are I'll have 4 losing months I would say you just started your trading during 2 of them and I would expect 2 more during the summer. I just started using the sst live this week and by no means am I off to a blazing start. But I will give the system more than 2 months before blasting it in a public forum. If you can not stomach draw down periods than perhaps you are in the wrong line of work.
