Re: Most successful trading system

I have no knowledge of (or interest in) Futures Truth, John Hill and his
systems. It does, however, strike me as an inherent conflict of interest
to present himself as an impartial tester of other people's systems
while also being in the business of selling systems. While "steal" is a
harsh word, how could he help but "borrow" ideas from the systems he
tests? As far as I know, he requires that any system he tests disclose
all the rules and he refuses to test "black box" systems. Who in his
right mind would submit a system, complete with all the rules, to be
tested by a competitor? And who would believe "impartial" test results
when the tester is the system author? John Hill may be an honest and
honerable man but, in a business as fraught with fraud and corruption as
this one, it just doesn't pass the smell test.
