Traderfan,

Some of your notions have merit, but I also feel some were a little unfair.

First, I believe SWARM beta testing was only completed in a confined market sector. When considering a greater market, more opportunities will be available.

Even still, adjusting the constraints a bit to increase trades without sacrificing too much of the success rate is probably something 141 has been optimizing.

Second, yes 50 to perhaps even 100 mil starting capital were thrown around, but smaller numbers were also used (I'm pretty sure I used 10 in my estimates but stated it as a variable).

Third, if 141 is utilizing other software from Spooz (Fractalz3) for instance, I'm sure they'll pay a licensing fee like anyone else. If you look at the 141 site, it has been updated to state that other strategies will be used in conjunction with SWARM. I emailed Errol about this last week, asking specifically if the use of other strategies would affect the Spooz bottom line (positively or negatively), and he said there should be news shortly. I interpret that as before Christmas. However, the word "should" leaves room for unexpected events.

Thanks for your thoughts.
