Slow&Steady Trading

This is a short term, trend following system out of market corrections. It is an automated system with manual intervention.

Trading is conducted on major crosses + XAUUSD on a higher TF.

The algorithm is optimised for several time frames on most liquid pairs. No trades are maintained over the weekend and the account is flat during any kind of high impact news like NFP and/or interest rates decisions.

The goal is to make a profit of 3-5% monthly on average, with a reasonable DD ideally below 5% (so far max DD 3.5%).

Trading only occurs when all conditions are met so it is very disciplined and rules are never broken. Money management is tight, its the only way to maintain an edge over the market.

First trade of the week GbpUsd long.

All rules were followed and managed to squeeze out about 18 pips. Gbp was bought on a pullback of an underlying uptrend on a 1h time frame.


Always goo to start the week on a positive note...

2 trades on UsdCad short.

Same reasoning as for the first trade except one trade was on 1h TF and the other on 30min.

Could have gotten out more but its still a good overall result.

180 day record is still not reasonable enough, but you are on the right path in terms of risk/rward - keep going!

There is actually over 12 months of performance on the main account, its just not connected here. Its not connected because the risk settings have been changing over time, there have been regular withdrawals... In any case both accounts have the same R:R so this account is fully representative and much easier to actually analyse as the risk settings have been the same since the start.
