About this strategy

Catch the trend! This highly flexible Forex system identifies high probability setups that align with the bigger picture trend, with most trades lasting from several hours to several days. There's always a trend somewhere!

By combining a mixture of proprietary technical analysis, market sentiment (i.e. positioning), and seasonality data, the system is geared to capturing large trending moves that leave most investors baffled and broke.

The downside to this method is that there will sometimes be long periods of mixed performance and drawdown while adapting to a new time frame. It often takes many attempts to catch a market turn. However, entry points are carefully chosen and timed, while smart money management is employed to limit risk and balance profit potential with capital protection.

Every signal is traded with real money and human approved. In addition, a system and market update is occasionally provided.

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.
