Today I Retired From Forex - Here's The Strategy That Works

  • #1
  • First Post: Apr 16, 2025 8:21am Apr 16, 2025 8:21am
5 years and over 20,000+ hours in, I finally made it. I've announced this privately and on other outlets, but today makes it official, so I wanted to let my Forex Factory friends know.

My presence on Forex Factory has mostly been helping others with coding requests but I've also shared some trading ideas and trading tools too.

I am thankful for everyone I have worked with and would not have gotten to this point without others.

Enough talking, here's the strategy I've been using for YEARS and have automated well-enough to retire from (I've made 296% since the beginning of December 2024):
1. Get the news outcome when it releases.
2. Place an initial trade a few minutes afterwards based on the trend of the outcome.
3. When in drawdown, place grid trades.
4. After a certain drawdown amount, throw a hedge with a very tight stop loss.
5. Use a take profit in percents (instead of pips) and HODL.

My manual trading strategy is the same, except I don't hedge. I base my analysis on what the event outcome means for the economy as a whole (instead of just an event-to-event basis). You have to be an active student of the news to be successful manually trading it.

What's next for JBlanked? I'm doing music and coding full-time, and using my profits to fully fund my music career, some new tech projects, and new entrepreneurship opportunities. You can check me out on YouTube, Instagram, and GitHub (@jblanked on all platforms)

I wish you best of luck in your trading journey.

  1. What is the precise drawdown trigger for the hedge (pips, currency, % of balance/equity)?

The take profit is in percents and calculated by the equity. You'll have to backtest a hedge point. That's what took the longest to perfect.

You'd be surprised as to how many people do not know it is a scam. There are plenty of youtubers at the moment that are live streaming every single day, selling their so called software for trading, putting bunch of colors and so on.

Take look at this I just discovered:

https://www.youtube.com/@TraderNick/streams

https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisPulverTrading/videos


These two are actually the best youtubers liars, compare to the others. They almost had me fooled, but I know better. Selling, selling and selling pitch. Marketing of their software, sponsored by some brokers all the time, marketing prop firms. I mean they can write SCAM on their foreheads, and people would still claim that they are legit and they make money. It is ridiculous, how ugly and toxic this fake online trading marketing is. Selling "signals" I mean, if you want to actually see what is the meaning of "ridiculous" take a look at those youtube channels I shared. According to them, they make money all the time, they are "professional" they have millions to trade with. I mean if you are having a bad day, watch live streams of those two, you will have a great laugh.

Prove to everyone how it's a scam. And before you embarrass yourselves, make sure to do thorough research.

Exactly what I thought. Everyone is tough on the internet until it's time to prove shit. Show me who got scammed by me and/or how this is a scam, or shut up.

Instead of hating on others and begging for people to trade on your account, you could ask HOW it was done and some advice.

I'm just seeing how others trade, doesn't mean I can't.
Which in any case, has nothing to do with the topic at hand-that you're a fraud.

The onus is on you to prove your claims instead of just bullshitting.
Furthermore, all your replies have already proven you're a fraud.
Good day to you, I don't waste time with frauds.

I don't have to prove shit to anyone. It will literally take you less than 5-minutes to find out. If you say someone is a scammer, you better be ready to prove it.

Just by cursing, you are an amateur. That proves it right there that you are a liar. Let's not call it a fraud, you are straight up liar.

Maybe jblanked just got lucky. His broker offers 500:1 leverage, and his Trade count is only 140 trades.

Kudos to you jblanked - either way, you're out of this rat race and doing what you want to do.

Lol. There's a reason why he blocked out the numbers from his TE, just saying.
