This is a strategy that is simple and easy in order to participate in the market effectively. It is a trend/position trading strategy, which have worked for many years and I can not see any reasons it will stop working. The strategy is not free, but still I do not charge much more then an average loosing trade for a retail trader. The cost of it is 37(discounted) dollars for now. If I get too many interested I will rise the price, but I highly doubt there will be many. In order to know a little bit more about what you will get read FAQ below.

FAQ

1. What will I get purchasing this strategy?
You will receive a PDF file which include how to determine overall trend and the entry method. Sure you will also know when to exit the market.

2. Where is the power of this strategy?
It is effective because it let the profits run while losses are limited. It takes trades
only in the direction of the daily trend. And last but not least it is very simple.

3. Does it have a high hit ratio?
No it does not. You will get 30-40 % winning trades. But they will be much bigger
then the loosing ones.

4. What is risk/reward ratio for this strategy?
I calculate it when I close the trade only. I never know what I will get before I
close the trades. Only the trend set the limits. It is enough to know that it has very
high risk/reward ratio.

5. What currency pair is best for this strategy?
EUR/USD, because it is most liquid and least manipulated pair in the world of
currencies. Thought other trending pairs can be used if needed. But best is EUR/USD.

6. Why do I sell it?
It is not a holy grail strategy. It is just a simple but effective trend/position trading
strategy. If there will be more participants in the one direction the trend will only be
stronger.

7. Is it possible to trade this strategy and have a daily job at the same time?
Yes you may set pending orders and more likely then not you will not miss the
biggest part of the trades.

9. Is it based on any indicators?
No it has no indicators at all. It is based only on price itself.

10. Do I need to be an experienced trader in order to be able to trade this strategy?
No it is enough that you know the basics. But you will need some patience to show
in order to let the profits run and not to close earlier then needed.

11. How long it will take to learn it and start trading?
The PDF file is only seven pages long. And it will take no more then one hour to
read it through a few times. And you can start straight away, but I still recommend to
not rush and begin only when you feel confident with it and ready, thought it is a
simple strategy.

12. How to purchase it?
You will need to send the money I ask through PAYPAL using this email
[email protected]. And send me an email with transaction code to the same
email with `send the strategy` in the subject field . And I will send you the PDF as
soon as I see you have paid for it. Allow to go up to 12-36 hours due to different time
zones or any other delay reasons. Thank you for your understanding.

Some trading records will be helpful. How long you have been trading this strategy and ROI for the last couple of years.

I have traded a few years using similar methods that worked with different success. This is what seems to work best for me as it is. It is very simple. Someone could say,- that basics seems to work the best once again. It is not very hard to back test it once you know the strategy, even just visually . Back testing is not a very valuable thing when the methods are based on indicators, but this is another story when it based just on price movement. This strategy is new as it is, for me as well and it is the only one I use to trade. but it works on back test and it works on forward test for a couple of months, which is nothing actually for a trend trading strategy. So I am not sure that it proves anything for you or someone else, I just say what I have got . So you can trust what I say or not to trust, it is all up to you.

If back testing visually is easy then i would be helpful to have it done for as much time as possible. It gives you more confident in the system. I have seen many so many systems doing great on trending periods which easily lasts couple of months.

And also how much is your Stop and how many pips are made per month or return percentages.

The daily trend which was bearish from the end of 2009 changed in to an uptrend on july6 for me (using my trend determination method). From that day I had 6 trades using my 2 entry methods and 5 of them are still running.
My entries was at
1.2700 -100
1.2600 550
1.2800 350
1.2800 350
1.3000 150
1.3200 -50
If current price is 1.3150 it gives 1250 pips accumulated so far. But it is floating profit not realized so it is still early to close now. There are always risk you can give part of it back to the market. But we need to follow the rules and hold them until the trend change.
The first trade ended at loss, but was recovered using Jacko anti hedge method. ( yes I use it to recover some of the losses very successfully. Thanks to Jacko).
And all of the 5 others are still running successfully so far. I use stop loss of 100 pips. Actually my entries are always at round numbers but it doesn`t mean I enter every 100 pips. Even though it would work in such a trending market like now. But better to be a little bit picky.

Also if you traded my strategy in the last down trend on EUR/USD whitch started 2009 desember 08 and lasted until 2010 july 06, It would triggered 28 trades and accumulated 8700 pips. This is without Jacko anti-hedge use for recovering the losses. It would only inproove the results.Yes I know it was just one big and long drop, but it is what my strategy takes advantage off. And I know that all trend following systems had great results. But I also know that my strategy do not give many signals on sideways market whitch helps a lot to minimise the drowdown. Any way it is not a perfect system it is just an average and simple to use strategy that works. Be realistic please.

No I do not charge anything for it(it would be an open thiehery), it is a free part of my strategy I sell. My strategy works also without it, so it is up to you if you want to use it.

Would you be able to give a backtest trades for 2007 and 2008 as well with out the AntiHedge. How many pips/drawdown

Do you check for trades once a day at some pre determined time?

It is much harder to backtest more backward, but anyway it looks good. If you can determine the trend more or less presicely it will work. The old fashion lower lows lower highs or higher highs higher lows still works. My method for determine the daily trend is simillar to it. And the entrie methods just puts you on the right way. There are no many entries, one two a week, depending on the market. You will be able to put a pending order when there are still some good distance until the entry price. It is not a scalping strategy where you need much monitoring. It is a trend following method which worked for ages.

Well heck, as long as you say it looks good, it must be good! Where can I throw my money away, I mean, where can I get my greedy little hands on this prize piece of work. I want to make sure to get in before you raise the price from the ultra low cost of $77.

/sarcasm

Since you are not willing to show a backtest of it, why not show us a forward test. Maybe even your acct statement. If this is as good as you say it is then you must be trading it live, no? Maybe even cough up an investor password.

LMFAO... only on a nfp day.

I know that it is a every buyers dream to see the backtest and forwardtest of a long period of time, it would be to easy. Anyway I easily see that ir works and have worked for a long time. Even though it doesn`t garanty that everyone can be sucsesfull with it. Even though it is very simple there can be many traders that will destroy it by simply not following the rules.And no I can`t provide you with the account statement showing how good it is yet. I only myself have two trades opened so far(I started not from the start of the new trend), they are the last two trades mentioned in post 6, the entries are from 1.3000 and 1.3200. I am quiet honest with you saying this but it is up to you what you think.

I don't agree.
The guy's being honest about it. You can take it or leave it.
I don't want it, but some people may.

What would be wrong with the commercial forum, would be people claiming to have turned $100 into a million and showing fake account statements to prove it.

I get scam emails like that every day. I've never gotten one claiming two sucessful trades.

So it is ok to sell something that has no verifiable proof that it works? 2 trades is hardly a solid track record and this opens the door to a whole new wave of conmen preying on the ff membership.

If we are going to lower standards to just 2 live trades why even go that far? We could make up our own... let see, a little stochastic, a little macd, and for good measure lets throw in some rsi. Just wait til stochs and rsi are oversold/bought with macd confirming then place the trade. Proof? no proof, just trust me, "its good" winkwink

If anyones interested Ive also got some prime Florida swampland and a couple of bridges for sale too.

Please remember that those two trades are not what i count on. They are not even closed, so everithing can happen with them.I just said what I have right now. But I do know that my strategy works simply looking back on the chart and also I have traded these entry methods ,just they were ment for shorter time frame where I had fast take profit and stop loss of 100pips. Just I made a simple trend following strategy where I let the profits run while losses are limited. In this style it works just much better. But sure it needs more patience to hold the trades, which can be hard enough for a trader used to trade intraday.

If...
You are funny gay. I like you and hope you can trade profitably. Usually lossing money makes people angry and sad, so why not to let it out on others (your case) Anyway I hope I am wrong. Sorry to say that, but if I get too many depresive posts from you, I will need to put you on my ignore list(you will be the first). Just for pease of mind. But it doesn`t mean I am afraid of constructive criticism. You are very welcome for that.
