Strategies that outlived the hype cycle.

A trading system nobody kept trading is not a system. These threads are ranked on survival: how many years the discussion has run, whether traders are still posting this week, and how large a community it holds.

Replies and views come from each thread's own header. A thread with no figure available is shown with an em dash rather than a guess.

Alive or a monument?

Each dot is a thread: how many years it has run, against how recently anyone posted. Green is still active this month; red has been silent for over a year. The prize is the top right — old and still being traded.

How longevity is scored

Age35

Years since the opening post; full marks at fifteen years, because these threads run from three to nineteen.

Recent activity30

Days since the last reply. Posted today scores full; silent for a year scores nothing.

Engagement35

Replies (1k → 200k) and views (300k → 100M) on a log scale, anchored to the range these threads actually cover.

A high score means a system the community kept working on for years and is still discussing — not a promise that it makes money.

What we cannot verify

ForexFactory's Trade Explorer sits behind a login and publishes no directory of accounts, so per-account gain and drawdown cannot be read from public pages. Rather than score a pillar every thread would fail identically, longevity is measured on discussion survival alone and this gap is stated here.
