Hi there all very good question here...
i guess what we are doing here is not giving any secrets we are just helping giving hands to who ever needs it and by talking about the informed system project the thing we started here in this community we also didn't give secrets we shared knowledge we made a system that might or might not work and this is a good point here which is we didn't reveal any secret technique right??
so what i mean to say is that i am with sharing my knowledge and my experience with any one who needs despite the sum of knowledge i have...but when you say if we gave away our secrets we can't get it back well i guess no one is giving his secrets here i mean no body asked you : (give me your strategy i want to trade it) am i right what people are doing here is asking general questions and we answer them....
and as Dave mentioned yes i am with the OPEN SOURCE after all if we didn't find anyone to ask we wouldn't be here we would be in any other profession
i'm sorry but i don't really know your name so excuse me Shootanappleoffmyhead if you didn't find anyone to instruct you through your way in trading how would you know what you know now and when it comes to me and for this particular reason i owe for the people who taught me what i know now and what i am going to know in the future is to teach other people i mean no body has posted all these free information on the net so other people can save it for them selves are you with me here hope you are..
so i tell you again what we are doing here or in any other place is only giving a hand so people can make there own secret and teach other people...... what i think is we are doing a great thing here and i enjoy it for me this is what i think and what i believe is happening here .....if any one disagree please tell me
best wishes
