Why they give their members non-profitable systems is easily answered: Daniel thinks that the systems are profitable. Or I think wrongly that they are not profitable. He has different profitability criteria and does not use walk forward tests. It's possible that I'm just over-critical. However, some were live trading his systems and lost money so far. Daniel earns his money with subscriptions to his website, not with trading.

He uses MT4 with a self-written strategy tester and a heavy additional framework for fixing some of the MT4 problems and shortcomings. The website has many different test tools written in many different computer languages.

Most other Internet trader communities are not very helpful for automated trading - their members just lack the knowledge and tools.
