Look who's back with an automated version of his FX system
Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
'In which Charlie revisits a successful trader from
the early days of The Biz Opp Jungle, hails the return
of the fraudulent email trick and reviews this trading
software: marketraider
Hi
Long-term readers of the Biz Opp Jungle will know Ian
Williams pretty well. I first mentioned him way back in
early 2006.
(Remember that year? We danced on streets paved with
gold... our houses were worth millions... our planet was
nice and cool... polar bears skipped across solid ice...
bankers happily creamed their trillion pound loot from
risky debt packages... EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY.)
Ian's first service was called Trading the Easy Way. It
was an extremely popular educational guide at the time.
I know lots of my readers enjoyed it for its accessibility
and comparatively low price. For many it was a first step
into the world of home trading.
A few years later, along came Ian's Eztrade system,
which took things a step further.
In this product he allowed you to follow him in and out of
trades. To help you do this, he offered a year's worth of
mentoring and a 3-month subscription to his market
overview emails. This service was also popular and I had
some great feedback.
Another reason I liked Eztrade was that on promotional
website you could see a picture of Ian fly-fishing.
I think ALL websites should have people doing their
hobby. For instance my very first promotion for The
Inbox Tycoon showed a photo of me after DJing at a
wild summer house party, wearing a trilby and stupid
sunglasses. I wanted to make the point that you could
have fun, be totally un-businesslike, and still run a small
email business.
However, if I do another book my "hobby photo" will be a
picture of me pushing a pram and throwing a ball for a
dog. So it goes.
Anyway, back to Ian...
Trading software that doesn't leave you stranded
On the back of his previous successes, Mr Williams has
turned his attention to the Forex Market. And with so
many bog-standard FX manuals out there, he's made
sure to take his service up to the very highest level.
And fair enough. He's got a loyal enough following and a
good enough reputation to make this leap.
What he's done in Market Raider is synthesise his FX
trading system into a software tool. This allows you to
upload a programme and flag down potentially profitable
trades with your computer's help.
In the past I've been critical of software - like the
infamous Star Trader - where you' pay £3K or more for
a programme that comes with NO educational
information, NO support and NO market analysis. You
are left to interpret the results without knowing any
context. Unless you're already a pro trader, this type of
product leaves you high and dry.
Market Rader is different...
The software is a tool that forms part of a complete
trading programme. Ian will also provide his full trading
system in a hard copy manual. And you'll also get his
email support and mentoring.
This means that the software is not a stand-alone thing.
It's something that will help do the leg work and reduce
the time you spend on trading right down to the bare
minimum. At the same time you'll still get a solid trading
education to make sure you UNDERSTAND what the
computer is telling you.
Take a look at this website for the full list of benefits:

How to remove the risk element
The FX aspect of Ian's new programme is a canny
move, as it keeps you away from the disaster area that is
the stock market right now.
And if you read the website, you'll also note that this
doesn't have the big price tag that normally comes with a
trading software package. Rather than £3K-£5K this is
£1949+VAT.
It's published by Streetwise and you'll get the usual 30
day trial period. As always I recommend that you take
the trial and immediately read the manual and set up
the software.
The quicker you can do this, the more time you have to
see if it's your cup of tea. If it isn't your thing, you can
send it back and you won't have lost out.
To protect yourself completely, don't even trade with
your own cash until you're 100% happy - and you
remember you can always email Ian for help.
Well worth a look. Even to see what this fly fisherman is
up to these days. Details are here:

Now from the return of an old friend... to the return of an
old foe...
A classic email that needs binning
This week I was disappointed to see my inbox
hammered with 4 versions of the same dodgy email in
ONE day.
This one was from Mr Vittorio Cooper who is "in charge
of Bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance Department
with a Finance House".
"I discovered an unclaimed sum of $18.3 Million
(Eighteen Million, three hundred thousand US Dollars)
deposited belonging to Mr. Balvinder Sandhu who was a
private consultant and Minning Enginner with Ma'aden
Phosphate Company in Saudi Arabia He happens to be
deceased during a business trip. He died with his wife
and three children on board the Swissair Flight 175,
which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in 2000."
Yes, it's that old chestnut, the "I need to transfer monies"
trick. It's a version of the classic Nigerian money fraud. I
assume that this type of email never goes away because
it MUST work enough to make it worth someone's while.
In every case there's a lump sum of money that needs
moving from A to B, and you're always eligible for a big
chunk of commission totalling tens of thousands.
The snag is you have to supply your phone details. They
will step up the operation. Now they'll pester you until
you send them bank details and/or a sum of money in
order for this business transaction to happen.
As always, delete emails like this, never give away bank
details and never send money to a stranger. Don't even
bother getting into a discussion with them. Even for fun.
It's not worth the hassle.
I'll be back with more finger-wagging on Wednesday.
Later alligator
