Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Who should consider using the Genius Trading System?
A: 1.) Anyone from a short-term trader to a long-term investor,
2.) Anyone who wants to improve their trading results, and
3.) Anyone who wants to become a successful trader.
Q2: Which markets can the GTS be used for?
A: Any financial markets, including stocks, indexes, futures, commodities, forex, CFD's, every crypto. Anyone who trades a market where the prices move up and down can benefit from the Genius Trading System.
Q3: What makes the Genius Trading System different from the hundreds of other trading programs available online?
A: GTS is real, and produces real documented results, in real money accounts. Not hypothetical results in demo accounts. You can even watch the System trade live and see it perform with your own eyes. What we do is REAL and it can be verified... not some pie-in-the-sky or hypothetical results that many unverified programs are promoting.
Q4: Are the GTS indicators designed for long-term usage? Isn't there a possibility that the system will lose its effectiveness, as it is often the case with most of the trading systems or strategies? (I will buy it today and then a few months later it just won't work anymore...)
A: The GTS system is not based on, nor optimized, on back testing, like most trading systems that show you great hypothetical results based on its parameters having been optimized on historical data. Back-testing is one of the biggest fallacies that, unfortunately, many amateur traders fall in its trap. Every professional trader knows that past history and past results are not a guarantee that the same history or the same set of data will be repeated in the future. All financial markets are unpredictable. History can or doesn't have to repeat itself. For this reason, we do not back-test our strategies. We forward test them. Using historical data to predict the future is like trying to drive a car forward by looking in the rearview mirror. This is why most trading strategies fail to produce the same results as in their tests. The markets either go up or down, or stay range bound and chop. Therefore, we test out strategies in real time going forward, not backwards, based on price action in all unknown and unpredictable market conditions and without the benefit of hindsight. There is never a guarantee that any trading system or indicator will always be 100% accurate, but the probabilities of success are greatly increased when one focuses on a longer term trend and on the price action of the given instrument. So, as long as the markets continue to move up or down, like they have been for the last 200 years, the GST indicators and strategies will continue being equally effective.
Q5: Won't too many traders using the same GTS indicators corrupt the market, or in some way cause market irregularities or irrational behavior, including potential regulations against these indicators?
A: There are millions of traders that have been using various popular indicators for decades without any effect on the market. The fact that someone is using a trading indicator, or a trading strategy, does not affect how the market behaves. Market action is totally independent of any indicators which any number of traders might be using. The price either goes up, or the price goes down, irrespective of what indicator you are using in your trading. Of course, some indicators are better than others. As for regulation of trading strategies, the regulators are concerned more about bad actors manipulating the markets, not people trying to use an edge to be successful traders.
Q6: Which brokers support the GTS indicators? Or what brokers' trading platforms can I install the GTS indicators on?
A: The GTS indicators work in connection with the popular MetaTreader MT4 and MT5 trading platforms. This way you can use the GST indicators with any broker who offers any one of these platforms.
Q7: Are MT4/MT5 the only trading platforms that support the GTS indicators?
A: In addition to the MT4/MT5 platforms, GTS can be installed in the NinjaTrader trading platform. Integration with any other trading platform is possible as custom workorder that will require a integration/customization fee.
Q8: Where can I find installation instructions or a guide to install the GTS indicators?
A: Installation instruction are located on this website. On the Home Page click on the Education link on the main menu bar and select GTS Installation. There, you will find a video with detailed installation instructions.
Q9: Is there a Demo Version of the GTS indicators?
A: There is no demo version of the Genius Trading System. Both the indicators as well as the strategies have been thoroughly tested for an extensive period of time with great results. You can, however request a 30 – 60 day FREE Trial and test the trading system to make sure meets your requirements. In addition, many brokers, however, offer demo trading accounts, where you can test the system before you trade with actual real money.
Q10: What is the success rate of the GTS indicators? In other words, how accurate are the GTS indicators when it comes to entering and exiting trades.
A: The success rate and accuracy of the GTS indicators is individual, as every trader has their own way to set their own trading parameters and then execute the trading signals. If one trader is experiencing an 80% accuracy with his or her individual settings, this does not mean that everyone else will have the same results. Again, traders set their own settings for their own indicators, based on their style of trading, the instruments they are trading, and the current market volatility.
Q11: What are the steps to fix a trade, which resulted from a bad or a false signal, or the trader’s own error?
A: Avoiding a potential loss from a bad trade is an essential part of every GTS strategy and is covered in detail in the education portion of GTS. The Education Area of this website, under the Education Tab on the main menu bar, contains videos and information specifically addressing this topic.
Q12: What is the best formula for account money management, so that risk of loss from bad trades is minimized?
A: The rule of thumb is, never place more than 3% of your account at risk of loss on any one trade.
Q13: Is it possible to view an actual real money GTS trading history?
A: Yes, there are many examples of real trading results using GTS on this website. Simply click on Results link right on the main menu of the home page.
Q14: Isn’t your unique selling point you, and not the system?
A: Actually, the exact opposite. The Genius Trading System, which includes both the strategy and the indicators, both of which we use in our trading, were developed gradually over our founder's 30-year trading career. What he has done is boiled down his entire 30-year trading experience into a step-by-step trading system that anyone can follow and produce successful results. These are his own words: "I am only a good trader because I follow the system. If I don't follow the system, I am a terrible trader."
Q15: So why is it that most traders lose money even when they claim they follow a "system".
A: They are probably using a FLAWED system. If they do follow a proven system, they should not lose money. Unfortunately, most of the trading systems used by amateur traders are flawed... while those traders are brainwashed to look for flaws in themselves as traders and not in the system. In a good system, the decision-making process is straight forward and not subject to discretionary implementation. The Genius Trading System is simple and straight forward. Green arrow - market goes up. Red arrow - market goes down. Just follow the arrows and the colors.
Q16: Anyone can follow the system, but can they also tame their emotions? Isn't trading 50% emotions and only 50% skill and strategy?
A: Yes, absolutely it is. We even offer to anyone who visits our website our 10 Most Important PSYCHOLOGICAL Rules of Trading free of charge. Obviously, we can only do so much. We can provide all the knowledge and all the information, but if someone doesn't follow the rules and the step-by-step system, there is not much more that we can do. Ultimately, people make their own decisions. (Email us for your own copy of the 10 Most Important PSYCHOLOGICAL Rules of Trading.)
Q17: If the GTS system is so effective and so successful, why not just use it yourselves and achieve phenomenal results just for yourselves? Why share it with other traders?
A: We do use the GTS ourselves. In fact, trading is the primary source of our income. However, we have also made a decision to use the proceeds from the sale of the System to fund our other important projects, which has been designed to benefit all of humanity. By offering the Genius Trading System to savvy traders, everybody wins.
Q18: $4,990 USD seems a little bit steep for a trading strategy. Is there a way I can get a discount?
A: Because of its high level of sophistication and complexities, GTS took over 2 years to develop. Furthermore, the entire system which consists of trading indicators, trend charts, strategy builder, strategy tester, and the auto-trading A.I. module, incorporates over 25 years of trading experience by our founder. How can you put a price on 25 years of experience? In addition to the $4,990 lifetime license, GTS can be licensed for just $199 per month.
