I dropped in one of the NT Partners webinars yesterday where this fellow Michael Paul Konuika was selling a template for $2495 that included a bunch of indicators that are free on futures.io (formerly BMT) downloads. The amazing thing is he did not even change the names of the two indicators that Roger Felton recently uploaded on futures.io (formerly BMT). I was shocked to see that he has simply changed some of the indicator names such as AT MACD which is exactly the same as anaMACDBBLines, and was selling them to public as his own (AlfaTrend) software. Check it out at eminiTickFactory.com. How gullible? Feel sorry for those who actually pay the $2495. We need to develop an Integrity Index indicator for free download.

I have coded a lot of indicators for free. This means that everybody can use and freely distribute them. If there is a crook, who repackages them and sells them to fools, this is not my business.
The world is full of crooks and fools. I am not going to waste my time dealing with them.

I agree. But if you google "MACDBBLines", Big Mike's Forum comes third or fourth. If there is a fool willing to spend thousands of dollars and not capable of googling the indicator names, we can't really help.

The only solution I can propose is to add these crooks software packages to the bigmike index that goes to google so if you google their software packages you come on bigmike instead of first on their site. (togheter with a big FREE next to it :-)
I looked into this guy's system BEFORE I was a member on futures.io (formerly BMT). He talked a good game and I was looking for someone to help me learn to trade ES, so I bought in with a credit card (although he pushed very hard for a money order or bank draft.)
I was actually looking more for a conisistent system and trading room, not necessarily indicators (pretty much everything is here on futures.io (formerly BMT).)
Anyway, after I signed up he almost immediately closed the room for Thanksgiving, pretty much a week early. Then it was closed for most of December.
Then, right after the New Year holiday, when he was supposed to open up again, he had a terrible tennis accident and was unable to trade (we all know how strenuous it can be.) At this point I asked for my money back and his marketing guy (aka Customer Service) said that Michael Paul Kanuika was in so much pain that he hadn't spoken to him in weeks. Wha?
He also said that all the other trade room members were more than understanding and that I was the only one who was complaining. I found that hard to believe and I insisted on getting my money back. Finally, I called my credit card company and they credited my account.
Now this guy calls himself AlphaTrend Trading (he changed the name from eminitickfactory and fxpipfactory) and keeps sending me emails with all kinds of offers. The latest one is for $995 for his $15,000 system. Apparently all it does it make money trading CL (he even calls some of them "ATM" trades.) Whatever.
Here is my favorite email though from him received just after Thanksgiving where he offers his $15,000, or $9,995 or $6,995 or $1,250 for $395 (how can I refuse? Easily.) I am almost tempted to call "Feed the Children" and find out if he ever sent them a check....
Greetings Trader!
Hope you a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving Holiday. This is the time of year to really reflect and take inventory of all the things to be thankful for, it is also a good time to give back and help someone in need.
I’ve been donating for many years to an organization that feeds hungry children around the world called Feed The Children, and I thought of a fantastic way to cut some of the traders on my list who could not afford the Alpha Trend Software a huge break and at the same time raise a little extra money for one of my favorite charities.
You purchase the Alpha Trend Trading Software on Cyber Monday for a ridiculously low price of $395.00 paying by bank wire or cashier’s check and will donate 10% of the proceeds to Feed The Children .
This is a fantastic opportunity to own the Alpha Trend Software, which by the way now retails for $9,995.00. Not only will you own the premier trading system in the market place today but this offer also includes unlimited access to our live trading room 5 days a week.

I think he has cash flow issues. 'Til his spawn turn 18.
In other words, this is a dude who has huge alimony and child support issues.
Thus, he prefers wires and cashier's checks.
He has had a plethora of websites over the years; alot of his stuff in the past used Jan Arp's stuff.
His videos are basically unwatchable from an aesthetic viewpoint; not to mention his mumble-mouth and non-lucid stream of consciousness ADHD audio presentations.
He is a cut and run vendor.
peace
