You seem to like challenges, any idea with level 2 i have not seen this before, i agree wierd.
As far a Fractalz3, I have been using this since the launch (8 trading days) and have talked to technical support a few times trying to get a better understanding of all the configurations options.
I am focused on the TECH portfolio, although I tried a few of my personal stocks i hold. I have found that to learn this tool it is best to use the portfolios provided. In the trade recommendations within this protfolio that I have followed (based on recommendations from Fractalz3 , they have proved to be profitable (i did not actually execute the trades in the open market) But this product recommends shorts and longs and the measure of performance is based on the next days open so it accuratley measures true perfomance. This is beacuse it is an End of Day product. I expect once the intraday version becomes available it will use price data at the time of recomendation. this feature allows you to back test the model which i really like.
I use the expert model for "Net Profit" to forecast the entries both long and short. I initially focused on trading perfromnace trying to get as many trades correct (ie enter long and the price goes up, or enter short and the price goes down.) In my experience (which is limited) the net profit model recommendations will net you more of a profit. You will enter some trades that dont work for you but you also get trades that do work and earn more (hope that makes sense.).
I like what I see and I do need to learn alot more about this product. I can envision a time when they come out with the full package. Fractalz integrated with SpoozToolz connected to an oline broker with a black box setup. Set my model, my stratgy for trading, risk tolerance and let it execute trades through out the day automatically. Keep in mind this is trading large cap stocks with high liquidity. A single trade will not be 25% profit or more as that rarley happens in the large markets (unlike OTCBB or Pinks).
Maybe one day I can go to work(or not) and have this trade for me during the day ideally pulling in a few hundred a day or trade, wouldnt that be kewl.
Sorry if anyone thinks this is pumping, I am a little excited.
I also thought .01 was rock bottom as well, my only regret is that I paid much more then the current PPS and if I had waited until now to enter i could have three times the shares i now own. hindsight is 20/20 and this is investing.
Also, my comments above are not a recommendation to use this product for trading, or to trade at all, or not to trade. they are simply comments on my experience with this product which may be completly different next week.
