It seems I am a scammer, because the smiley face and wave numbers repaint

25/2/2018

Once in a blue moon, I get an email from a dissatisfied customer. The dissatisfaction always derives from either: ignorance, by not bothering to learn something (things that are often covered by the published manuals or videos, for example); or because the individual is looking for the holy grail of trading tools where no thought is required to turn $1 into a million in a few weeks. OK, perhaps that’s stretching things, but you get my point.

For the sake of complete openness, I share an email from one such dissatisfied customer, if for no other reason than to deter those in search of the holy-grail-don’t-need-think-approach to trading to not bother getting anything from my website.

Here’s what was written, verbatim, from O Tejeda (I will respect some degree of right to privacy by not publishing his first name).
“Hi Steve the software you selling is worthless for me i am a learning day trader i study the classes but there are no clear explanation how the system really work to many back history but nothing to show the program working in real live the bigger problem with the software is that the smile face repaint too much for example i use it in one minute and five minute and daily the smile face repaint more than ten times. In other world we never know when we have to enter or exit the market. if the software is used in one hr It is very hard to see a happy face, another thing that change a lot is the e-wave numbers It is really confusing. now i now why you do not have video in you tube doing some trading alive it is because you know if you really show how the software work no body will by it. So i feel that you are another scammer saling worthless material online to steal our hard working money. so please the only thing i would like from you is my money back. thank you.”

As anyone who has known me for the last 5 years or so, since I started with this website, the last thing that I am is a scammer. Receiving emails like above is not only incredibly offensive to me, it’s terribly sad. This noob trader will most-likely continue a futile quest for the holy grail and undoubtedly will spend much much more “hard working money” on real scammers. It is very unlikely that success will ever be found.

Trading is NOT an easy thing to master. It takes a lot of time, experience, patience and discipline. Any website that tells you differently is most likely a scam.

Thankfully, there are many more satisfied traders using eWavesHarmonics (or just the original eWaves) and their emails reporting success are frequent and gratefully received. At the end of the day though, only YOU can make a success of trading. The greatest trading products in the world are worthless in the hands of the insane.

I have known Steve since before he started this website. Steve has coded numerous indicators and scripts for myself and our little community. Everyone Loves him for his witty remarks, peculiar humour, and great personality overall but the one thing that we all love him for is his coding.

Steve is NOT a person who relies on income from online marketing or selling script and stuff. He has probably a better paid job than a lot of those who send him those silly emails. And he's good at what he does. Both his job and his hobby of trading and writing Mql codes.

Literally if you can think it he can code it. Period.

I was not much amused by the email above. It did make me laugh at first but when this person pulled out the "scammer" label, frankly I blurted out some swears. This is very unfair.

Firstly, this product is a tool that one can use in their trading strategy and not something that was sold with promises of millions. It is a great piece of coding and I know it took him hundreds of hours to code. So we thank you Steve for it.

I use Steve's coded indicators and scripts on a daily basis and have made much more money using them than the price you'd have to pay. I can go on about praising him and his products but there isn't enough space.

Steve you are a star. Don't be offended Steve, You know you are worth better words and titles and here is one I have for you. You are a "Coding Genius" and "a Good Honest Man".

Love and Respect my friend.

Candles repaint scam of the market makes the life of traders hard.
Many do complain the same way about it by losing money day-by-day.
The EwaveHarmonic as well as the Hamonic Indi are very good tools, but one has to learn his way to trade it or in fact any other method to succeed with.
Whoever does not take his time to learn and practice it, might complain only about himself/herself, market will not get upset about calling it a scam, simply will take the money from those ignorant ones.

Sorry to hear about such email Steve
Unfortunately, the real scammers out there make trading looks too easy... so when a newbie trader comes across such a sophisticated tool like eWave Harmonics they don't want to put in the hard work to learn and understand how it works.

I have used a few of your published software and i consider them an essential part of my trading strategy.

Hi, I have used eWave for years and it works brilliantly. Most likely the email sender just doesn't understand what eWave indicator does and got confused. eWave is part of my trading template and it works absolutely as it should work. Nothing to add. Saves time in trading analysis and it's a big advantage. For scammer part of the email I have to say it's just not true. Steve is definitely NOT a scammer. He is a genuine coder and a trader. That's all there is. He created an indicator for traders and has helped at least me a lot. Steve should be treated with respect.
Kind regards, Tomi

Hey Steve, I don't really have much to say other than I've always been more than satisfied with your products. To the potential customers reading this, the tools that Steve created are no doubt of the highest quality. However, keep in mind that they're just that: tools. They're not crystal balls that can predict the future but used properly with good analysis and money/trade management, I can guarantee that you will be very profitable in the long run.

There are those who rise above their own ignorance to achieve knowledge and there are others who attack without cause to express their confusion.

"Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance” Plato

When you decide who you want to be you’ll take the first step toward taking responsibility for the results you get in life.

This has nothing to do with the value of the indicator or the person behind it. It’s about one of many who struggle with the complexity of trading and lack a pathway through it.

The code is briliant. Steve made a great job. I am still learn to used it. I know that it work perfectly. Problem always is when traders are not able to be discipline and paciente. But it not problem of software but humen. I can only tell to Steve thanks a lot.

Hi Steve, don’t waste a thought on this ignorant email. We know you as a hardworking and unselfish gentleman, consistently looking to improve his products. I’m using eWave and eWH for years and it’s a masterpiece that works very well in the right hands. Many thanks for all your hard and well-respected work.

Steve,

You and I trade together on a daily basis using ewaves and harmonics. It has taken you/us years (too many) to get to where we are now using ever evolving versions of your simple yet perfect indicator.

There have been and always will be idiots who see the "Get rich quick" aspect of trading. You, Me and those of us in the chat room know that these people are just plain morons. Sheep to the slaughter in the FX business.

May i suggest you file that email in the only place for it... Or maybe just email back the following:

RTFM properly...

Your indicators and software are so far from being a "scam" that they are polar opposite.

I hope you and the team keep up the great work you do for us genuine traders.....

AC.

The problem is with new traders is they are getting their information from flashing $$ signs on web banners, they join Facebook groups because someone told them their sister's uncle's daughter's baby just bought a house after 1 week of joining. They generally have no interest in trading, just want the quick cash injection they believe happens without knowing how the market really works.
The point is it is not the tools, its the lack of knowledge and free flow of misinformation from advertising.
The tools work, Steve not only provides a stunning set, then but is also happy to hang about and check on your work and progress if you are keen. Just by reading what he is complaining about, he has not taken the time to watch the training sessions otherwise would know that there every entry is discretionary. Waves repaint, otherwise we would be able to pick every top and bottom, eWaves gives you automation where you require it so you can focus on building your own system.

I love Steve products... Both the ATM and the EWavesHarmonics... To the above blogger... I beg to differ with you.. Steve does inform you of the possibility of it repainting.. Steve goes through each part for us explaining all that is will do for us... I will admit, it took me more than one time through to learn this wonderful tool as there is alot to it. Perhaps you should have watched the video 3 or 4 times... LISTENING closely each time.. Thank YOU Steve for your wonderful work. IT has been a tremendous help to me

I have been using Steve's products since many years with great success. Steve is really a helpful guys always answers my questions even if he is on holidays. Email sender doesn't have any clue about Elliott Wave Count and Indicator. His arguments sounds baseless. All i can say is Steve is a genius coder and his products are amazing his after sales support is icing on cake given the price he charge for the products. Steve listen to your feedback and make enhancement based on that.

I would recommend his indicators & EAs and he certainly deserves a great respect.

Good on ya mate. Keep doing great work.

Thank you very much, again, for all your words of support. I am humbled and cheered by your kind words.

It is clear that no matter how good our intentions, there will always be an odd individual who is not satisfied due to some deranged view of self and the world about. The Forex industry, with its focus seemingly on making quick and easy money, can bring out the absolute worst of many (from scam system sellers to wannabe traders who think it's OK to steal indicators) but, from your kind words, it can also bring out the very best. I am fortunate to know you.

Thank you.

I used eWH, ATM, and other tools created by Steve and must disagree. The tools do what they are intended to do day in and day out. In fact, eWH is probably the only technical indicator one needs to understand how the market moves. Steve has always responded and provided some of the best advice I’ve been given over the years. In fact, he also offers training for the products he creates and courses on how to use is master pieces. Perhaps one noted above should invest the time to read and watch how we use these tools to crush the market.

Steve - keep up the great work and thank you for all you do. From my perspective, I wholeheartedly appreciate it!
