might have been closed early for nfp.. you might want to confirm that.. i would have close early also..

It was closed early for NFP. That is not a system trade though. The system does not say to close early for news.

He called this one outside the rules of his system.

You're confirming what I said.

It was a discretionary call. Your system rules say nothing about "early warnings" nor do they say to close out early on NFP day.

I think it was a wise move, but it was not part of your system rules.

The system is good. It has a great track record, as is.

My only point is that the results should reflect what the system itself is capable of and not discretionary calls on your part.

I can no longer vouch for the integrity of his posted results.

He is starting to mix his discretionary calls in with the actual system results.

He did this last Friday. The system, as he always trades it, lost 30 pips.

He claimed -11 pips.

Bulbs,

He shows "DAILY20PIP.COM ADVICE : CLOSE TRADE BEFORE NF DATA RELEASE" however I made my 20. I use IBFX and I split the difference between the #'s that come from FXDD & IBFX.

The results are back like they should be.

I commend Mr. Lopez. He's giving, for free, one of the best systems I've seen anywhere.
