No offense taken and I enjoy inputs.

I sell only 500 copies of most programs I write. That is a lot of money at $ 695.00 per copy. It takes a lot more than testing to make a good program and I have almost $ 30,000.00 in costs to make the program. Live testing is expensive.

I guess it is kinda like asking FORD if their car can get you to point A from point B why not give it away as well.

I have a business that I run full time. Forex is my chosen field and I work at it 18 plus hours per day.

I have uploaded many free programs to forums and like all free programs they do not work. Everyone wants something for free but as we all know nothing in life is free. Someone has to get payment for the efforts they put into something whether it is a daily job or a career.

As A trader I am fairly successful and trade full time so I make my living a it.

Like any business a person looks to the future and the future is capital. Movie stars tell us all the time how good they feel at making people laugh but I am not sure that there is not one that does that free either.

Hope this answers your question and again no offense taken.

Excalibur is now version 5.0 to deal with the NFA issues and many of those that have purchased it have made their investment back quickly.

I have support forum and hundreds of people dropping in but no input other than owners of Excalibur. No ideas, no effort other than downloading a free demo and never returning.

TSD has ben the best forum ever created and those that were involved in the testing of Excalibur received as promised a " free" registered copy of Excalibur with updates as it went forward.

Many of these beta testers were all gong ho till they received their free copy and I have not heard back from 90% of them since.

So free. Interesting. Where did all the free input I once received during development go. Where did all the beta testers go with new ideas, new concepts.

I have 20 beta testers out of 1,500 beta testers originally that are still with me testing new programs and still there every week posting results. So I guess they are really not getting anything free from me either as they work all week testing, comparing evaluating and working together to make another good program.

So with so many devoted , or so few devoted people making an honest, long term investment of their time into developing a good product it would be an insult perhaps to give away their efforts as well free.

So with Excalibur done with, A new program Guinevere that has not lost one trade yet since it was released, and several new programs being developed, I can only thank the 20 committed beta testers that are still there, on the support forum, posting, asking questions and putting in their free time to help create a successful program that they will get for free. .

To Success
Bernard
