About this strategy

The system focuses solely on spot trading in the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market with particular focus on the G7 currencies (US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar) and mostly rely on fundamental analysis with little technical analysis to pick tops and bottoms.

All signals include an entry point, a place to take profit, and a stop loss. Most of our trades have 100-200 pips Stop Loss with 200-300 pips Target Profit. However, most of the trades will be close sooner (before they hit the Stop Loss or Target Profit point) to capture more profits in range market.

We determine the number of lots for each trade based on the current equity, the number of open positions and the probability of the trade itself. We usually risk less than 5% of our equity for a trade with 100

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
