if the thing gives BUY/SELL signals on the chart, why is it a requirement to be a super experienced trader to implement it? You buy/sell when the indicator says. beginner trader here

This could be long, I don't know will see. I appreciate that you are trying to be objective (but probably you should read some of my examples of bad trade alerts IA gave and I only show a handful).

Let me start with confluence model, I mentioned the signals are when price sits outside of BB, but later on based on my Trade indicator you can see the green and red arrows align with those on IADSS with MA crosses above/under BB, plus further filtered out with oscillators pretty much cover that. If you want you have access to my template since its free, so you can easily compare if there were any recent signals on 4h (as I would not use any of that on lower timeframes without confluence with higher ones, you can see that example in one of my recent posts as I posted a Sell signal and was wondering if people on Executive tier caught that same setup with IADSS).

Now for your examples of front running strategy, that has nothing to do with IADSS, so why pay 200$ a month? Other thing and sorry I like to be precise ;), neither Luna or Matic were in lower top 100 in September, both sitting in top 25!, so James was quite late to the party suggesting any of them and definitely his mentioning of those two did not make them pump. You could throw 2 darts on top 50 back then and almost everything moved up with that last run up from September lows.

And still James was sending trade alerts to buy SOL all the way up even around 220$, so I would be careful and definitely not call it front running.

It is going to be a common theme with YouTubers in the next bull run, those that survive of course, showing off their recommendations only from 2022, where literally almost anything from top 20 will make at least 2-3x.

Thank you for the review. It sounds like you are an experienced trader and use IADSS as a supplement to your (already developed) trading strategies.

I do have a few questions that I would like addressed after reading your review:

1. You say you made +$8,000 in a month while using IADSS, how much do you approximate you would have made without it?

2. Your review states that the Executive Tier is for a select number of members; however, IA opened it up to anyone who wants it; thereby ignoring the specific criteria that was outlined as "needed" by IA for individuals to use it correctly.

Although you and CryptoG agree that one did not need to meet all of the criteria, I think you will agree that a user should have at least some level of TA and trading experience. When someone asks what a "stop loss" is, or how to draw a trend line, I think that is a red flag.

In your opinion (or IA's) , what is the justification for opening up IADDS to anyone who wants it?

3. You mention several times that IA, and his audience, have the power to move an asset price; however, your evidence is incredibly weak as 2 of the 3 were during the Bull Market where they were continually shilled by many YTubers and CryptoTwitter, and the 3rd (Axie) was after the Bull Market and more than 60% down from it's ATH (and losing steam), just 4 months earlier.

I agree that a garbage play like Solend (or some other micro cap ALT) can be manipulated easily; however, large caps (like those you mention) need massive amounts of $ to move price. What evidence do you have that specifically shows IA's audience has the ability to move big name projects?

I look forward to an updated review that will give us more insight as to your use of IADDS, as address these questions posed above.

Wow great article. I want to give it a try, use IADSS with your strategy. My question is how do you implement it in a sideways market like the one we have now? When retail activity is sparse, where do you get your alpha then?

Using IADSS to trade stocks, I have found it particularly useful for end-of-day trading and scalping on lower timeframes. I hadn't thought about using it as a tool to help you front run. It can probably work with mid cap crypto, I wouldn't try to use it to front run with stocks. And you probably have to be in that trade for a few months for it to play out.

I have had a good experience with IADSS, there are really top notch traders in this tier and there is fewer people so it just feels like there is more camaraderie in IADSS. Everyone seems to be very nice and helpful with each other. InvestAnswers is much more active and he really works hard to give his opinion on different trades and puts out his ideas regularity. The models are very useful and saves time. I have been making consistent gains in the past month trading commodities on lower time intervals. Great tool if you know how to use it when the trade dictates.

I have IADSS, so far so good. MindMessiah is right it's gotta be used with the right strategy.

Good article. Thank you for the very detailed review of IADSS. I just renewed my membership as well, it's worth it in my opinion if you trade a lot. After reading your article, I have a new perspective on how to use it. Thank you.

Good to see they have fixed up some of the more obvious problems that were pointed out by early adopters of the indicator. How did they thank those users? Kicked out with no notice or explanation. I am really glad to hear you're having success front-running the trade alerts. Following the alerts themselves certainly isn't the way to anything but financial ruin.

Interesting article. I was considering getting IADSS. How does one get it?
