Thanks for clearing that up Johann.

(Now I feel stupid… more stupid than I normally am!)

All the best,

I was NOT talking about you or your site in anyway what so ever. I was talking about the MoneyTec forums and the Administrator of MoneyTec specifically. (who has I believe started acting dishonestly in the management of his forum and I believe was last year seen spamming some other forums using more than one ID in order to try and push his StrategyBuilderFX service)

Also, I was meant to say StrategyBuilderFX (and not StrategyTraderFX) which is connected to MoneyTec.

Once again, Please accept my apologies for the confusion.

I haven’t been on the MoneyTec forums in ages (the date of the above post is getting close to being nearly 2 years old… which is probably the last time I went to that forum!), and maybe the quality on that forum HAS died, but as for trying to push StrategyTraderFX I neither make mention of it on this site, nor imply anything about it. In fact I don’t even know what it is and will need to search Google to find out… which makes me wonder whether your comments are advertising for that company as it’s the only mention of it on this entire site!

However, to your defence I will admit that this site receives a heap of spam EVERY DAY and sometimes it slips through the cracks and I need to physically delete such junk. Be assured that I try my best at getting rid of such spam as soon as humanly possible.

Although there are many members there, over 25,000 or so todate, 90% of them don’t post and those that do post, a small percentage of them know exactly what they are talking about, while the rest just clutter the place up.
It’s hard to find some decent conversation there these days.

Warm regards,

The Statement that MoneyTec being a valuable Forex Resource may have been true in the earlier days in 2001-2003 when it first launched, but it appears that in recent years as I have been reading through the moneytec and other forums, the quality of the discussion I feel has decreased and much of the Discussion I feel is now of questionable quality. More fights I’ve noticed are breaking out and it may be harder to get the answers you want, especially for newbies who do not currently know the “culture of forums” in essence the unwritten rules of the forum.

I am also becomming concerned as I continue to read through the site that the moderator of the website could be using irregular moderating procedure through the use of multiple logins to post on his own forum especically in situations where MoneyTec is being criticized by some of it’s forum users (or to perhaps put entities he has a vendetta against in a bad light) , I believe as shown by style of the posts in which they are written in. Needless to say this is only a personal observation of mind but it does put into question the Integrity of the Website as a fair, professional and equitable Resource for the discussion of Forex trading topics if this is indeed happening from my own personal stand point.

That being said, I’ve also visited many other Forex forums, and it appears that most of those are also showing signs of the similar irregularities in recent months. So Caveat Emptor, take everything you read with a grain of salt and never stop questioning.

I feel many of these forums are quickly become sources if misinformation rather than information as egos begin to dominate. I know the question will be asked, “what Forex Forum Community do you personally recommend”, Unfortunately I can not recommend any particular one anymore. It will be up to the individual Forex participant to make his own decisions regarding where to get information from with whom ever they feel comfortable with I feel.
