Trade with confidence - really?

AN ANALYSIS OF TRENDSIGNAL (TS) D1 SNIPER PERFORMANCE & CLAIMSPeriod: October 2022 to December 2023 inclusive (15 months).The following are my conclusions (14 page document sent to TS for comment, which I did get) of an analysis of real life TS D1 Sniper performance alone, based upon all of TS's own, individual trades, as given by themselves (ie. NOT my trading using the service), taking into account trading costs, spreads etc. D1 Sniper strategy, the TS emails and Telegram claim: 20 minutes effort per day; 193% gross profit for 2023;11 years of consistent returns. D1 Sniper strategy, the reality:20 minutes per day: possible, but often unlikely;193% gross profit for 2023: +22% with own numbers provided by TS for paper trading. At this level of 'paper' return, more than likely that actual returns are break even at best;11 years of consistent returns: Perhaps I was just unlucky, but the 15 month period that I used the strategy resulted in a theoretical, compound, positive 'paper' return of just over 7%. The reality was much harsher. Even if unlucky, this implies that consistent, the stategy is not, and that the huge paper returns that the TS D1 Sniper strategy has shown over the years are likely to have produced mediocre gains, if not losses, when actually trading. One can talk about the good aspects of the TS package, but when it comes down to it, why does one pay thousands of Pounds to a trading education service: to get positive results beyond just sticking one's money in a basket of blue chips (even the FTSE 100, with a circa 8% capital gain and a dividend yield approaching 5%, would have made more over the 15 month period that I used the TS D1 Sniper strategy). As such, I have to say that not only does the TS D1 Sniper strategy fail to do what TS claims, but that it is likely to destroy your investment capital, and possibly your faith in trading the financial markets.TRADE WITH CONFIDENCEMy experience says otherwise (and my analysis proves it)Stuart Hopkins of TS did offer to have a conversation with me to see how I could improve my profitability using TS (How, just using TS's set and forget strategy, is beyond me?). Fact is that, even if I had the misfortune of using the D1 Sniper strategy during 'a tough year, the toughest since 2011' (Stuart Hopkins), and the future would surely be better, I am not willing to take the chance of another prolonged period of catastrophic results. I simply cannot afford it. The one star rating does not reflect the staff at TS, the interface or customer service. However, as it claims to be a service for making day trading easy with a 'set and forget' strategy that gives significant returns which did not work over a 15 month period, it has to be a one star.
