Several years ago I purchased 4 trading systems: Dollar Trader Aberration Plus Synergy I-Master
All of these systems were traded together from one account. I learned an enormous amount about trading and diversification by watching these systems trade. It encouraged me to develop my own system that was tailored to my personality and resources. Buying a system from an experienced system developer, then trading with it is a good first step in learning how to trade. It is better than copping a few lines of AFL from somewhere and thinking that is all there is to it. I have been a full time trader for about 5 years now, and that is how I got started. I thought my experience would help someone that appeared to be just starting in the business.
