SeaTigr & John Brown have really shed THE light on this situation. It’s a good tool, but not the cure. Hard Work and a few good tools could make one a pretty good living… if you’re willing to spend 100x the value of a product… be my guest.

Does anyone know where these guys went to school? I found one 4X website where Dicks was said to have gone to the “University of Currency Trading” in San Francisco. No such thing exists, of course, but I’m interested to find out if any of these jokers have gone past high-school.

Take care

P.S. I tried finding Michael Springer on search engines and could not find him anywhere.
Thank you.

I bought this software last night. I did something I rarely do. I bought it on a pitch. I made reference to the “Year of the Monkey”(Chinese New Year) being my year. I was born in the year of the monkey. One of the guys laughed. Why?
And why is the presenter (Michael Stewart) present in this complaint?
I think I may have made a bad mistake. I am going to give this software a run. E-signal that provides the FEED is real. I checked with my broker buddies. But the stop/loss money mgmt was EMPHASIZED. 50% of your trades will be successful. References to it not being get quick rich scheme.
My concern was the support…I have a seminar next week to go to. I may or may not pull the trigger on my refund. Most likely will if this proves disappointing.
I also did not like the fact that “Michael Stewart’s” support email was a hotmail account. There apparently are tons of videos on there (online) for training. A lot of seminars in US and Canada. Not sure but how can they keep cropping up with no regulation?
Asked about Market Traders Institute - not software-based. The first signs of trouble are that Michael was presented as a currency trader – well known. Doing a google search brings up this complaint only. No peer reviewed papers…nothing…asked about which banks work has been done on…he mentioned a few in France etc. No big US banks I am familar with.
Apparently, data stream pools 750 respondent banks. On top of this…the MONEY MGMT formulaes were shaken out of banks/government traders through liquour (a soft bribe)…hmm…now that I think about this, I am very worried.
Any one else…? I’ve put in a request from the international cftc office on this. Even if they’re not related. Commodity Futures. This is currency trading.
Looks like another scary one. Sad reality if true. I went in to make things better for family. Now, I have to worry about $4400 Cdn because of a possible scheme. Don’t know yet.
When it’s too good to be true (or too easy), it usually is.
I’ll watch this board. Keep it alive.

Nothing is easy…
If you want to trade Forex, you need to study, study, study and test, test, test. Within a couple of months, you’ll understand the method FXMadeEasy uses and you can do it yourself without spending a dime!
That said, if you want to pay for the software, the system uses a very valid MA cross in four time frames with a few confirming indicators, like MACD, etc. When all the time frames are signalling in the same direction, the little button turns green. Not hard to understand, but a lot of work went into getting there. It’s a valid trading system that takes the emotion out of trading – what every Forex trader tries to do.
You can either profit from Premier Trading’s hard work, after spending 3K to 4K, or you can sign up for a free demo account with an online broker and spend a few months studying – not having spent a dime, except on one or two books that explain tech indicators. Your choice. I chose the latter.
That being said, I’ll repeat what I said above. Nothing is easy. You have to be honest and consistent. You have to make sacrifices. You have to crave freedom and you have to learn to know when to cut your losses and when to let your profits run. You can’t just saunter in and get lucky.
You’ll find that the Forex community is full of people who have lots of experience and are willing to mentor or otherwise assist you. Even the unexperienced will point you in the right direction without hesitating! All you have to do is come on in and take a seat at the virtual dinner table.
If anyone has any questions, email me. I’m not a broker, I’m not a salesman, and I only trade my own money. I believe in helping people help themselves because others have done the same for me.
Cheers
4x- More than just a scam… - Posted by my life is nothing…

it’s funny that all the people who haven’t actually dug the teeth into the software or used it for one minute, could know that both the software and the company is a scam…
4x Made Easy is hardly anything close to a scam and the company backing the software is in it for the long haul. The software will never go obsolete because lifetime upgrades are already guranteed! & also they just changed their support hours to 24hrs a day, 6 days a week… They are a company that depends on their customers success and makes every effort to give it to them.
Don’t get me wrong, many people probably can & do fail using their software. But all those who can take the time to STUDY, LISTEN to archive training,and REVIEW the current charts, can take advantage of INFORMATION that the program gives. This software is made to be simple but needs to be ran by someone intelligent & aware of what they are doing.
Sorry for over-killing the subject, but i would hate for a group to get the wrong impression about 4x Made Easy just because someone has ignorance about it… I would check out www.4xmadeeasy.com & the message board that is there, to find REAL information about the software and what it has to offer…
Oh yea… most importantly,once understood. 4x Made Easy makes it EASY for users to figure out pin-point entry & exit points in the Forex Market… gotta love that 100:1 Leverage… cha-ching…

Look at it this way. E-Trade and other on line trading companies invest in web based operations and make their money over time by charging fees. 4x MAde Easy wants you to pay $4,000 up front for software that will probably be obsolete in a couple of years. Sounds to me like they want max $$$ upfront so they dont have to be around later. In other words, it is a get rich quick plan for them! Their plan may actually work for a few people, but a reputable company would set up for the long haul.

My husband is really pushing me to agree with him to do this. I don’t like the sound of it. I’ve worked in Finance/Mutual Funds for the past 13 years and I know that nothing is guaranteed. I need to find some substantial evidence against it or he’s going to hand over the money, no matter what I say.
Somebody HELP!!!

Yeah, I trade foreign currencies for a living. That 4X Made Easy sh*t is a scam. They’re software does not work. If you would like to hear the true story about trading currencies…email me and I will be honest with you about it. It is very easy to get ripped off by a currency broker. Your 5G’s could be gone in a week, easy… if you’re not careful

They want you to go to their meeting, then they speak their stuff, you get excited you’re gonna make lots of money, then they say,"our program is only $4000 ! but you will make it back quickly by using our program " . It’s supposed to show you when to buy and sell in the Foreign Exchange currency market, with a green light or the red light . hmmmm , i’d rather just go flip coins at: GoldTails.com is for sale | HugeDomains

Hi folks, I am a currency broker and I attended the 4X seminar yesterday. What a waste of money that software is. Please do not start $4000 in the whole in this market. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I work for a great firm in Boston and would love to get any of you involved and level with you honestly on the risks and rewards. Thanks everyone.

hey anonymous!
I just wanted to give you my opinion to a couple of your concerns and hopefully help you out…
Yes, For some reason 4x Made Easy SOMETIMES can feel as “too good to be true” pitch and this leaves a bad taste in your mind. I too disliked the seminar approach that Mike Stewart uses and feel that he comes off way too much like a sales-person than someone who is successful in the FOREX. BUT, if you already bought the software then obviously there was a TRUE sense of honesty in what he was saying.
I guess if there is any catch is that if you don’t correctivley use the program, you attomatically loose the money u paid for the software and end up frustrated at it! But the only person that could be to blame would be a person who bought the program not ready to…
If you are serious about taking the neccessary time to succeed using 4x Made Easy, u need to throw yourself completely into the “4x MAde Easy Community.” Meaning, reviewing all WEB SITE info, listening to the “4x Live” Daily Web-casts, listening to archive training, and realizing what your PERSONAL TRADING STYLE will be.
After a good week of doing these things along with getting familular with the software, you will be able to pratcice what is most important and what will eventually make your money back! which is: “READING THE FOREX MARKET USING THE 4xMADE EASY SOFTWARE.”
send me an e-mail and lets exchange some more opinions and hopefully try to help each other make some more pips!!

I just opeand my own FX Trading account I’m looking at buying the Fx made easy book. I’m have no previous exp but i crave to be free. i was told by a co work-er
that trying to learn this trading art will best be done by trial and error. The demo’s are the best way to geting there.
Any way It would be great if I can ask some more exp traders along the way.
Thank you
