DislikedHi Slurpee,
I am using a differant entry than you but the main thing is using the weekly trend
Results so far in pips
gbp/jpy +107
nzd/usd +39
usd/chf +131
gbp/jpy - 18
The method I am using is not relevant the big thing is using the weekly trend add that to your method and I am sure you will filter out some of the lossesIgnored
DislikedI don't see your results in the first post??
have you kept a record of all your trades?
btw..with my results if you'd set take profit to 340 pips 1:2 r/r
143 trades, 52 wins, 48 loss, 43 break even = +56 (9520 pips)
That's 36% win and return of 39% on investment (who needs a high win %)
yet only 3 of 4 pairs show a profit using this MM, I've just looked at aususd and that shows +2 1:1 r/r and -2 1:2 r/rIgnored
DislikedI've put the first 5 pairs results on a spreadsheet and it looks pretty good:
20 months - average 493 pips profit/month
Using 2% risk of your bank each time would have tripled your original starting bank, I'll endeavour to look at another 5 pairs.Ignored

DislikedHi Zortan,
So these 5 pairs are GBPUSD, EURUSD, EURGBP, USDJPY and AUDUSD...? I think you mentioned these ones on your last posts... and with TP at 340 pips? Do you mind to put the results of each one?
That's very helpful because we can know which pairs work better with this system, then we can choose those ones when we have 2 or 3 signals the same day...
Thank you very much.Ignored
QuoteDislikedWhich pairs did you trade?
DislikedHi slurpee if you look at the EUR/GBP in the weekly chart it is going sideways and you would not trade it.

DislikedSorry to hear about your difficult circumstances. I am a family man as well and love anything - strategy, deal (legal though!) that would afford me time with them as well as the ability to support them.
There you go people - a bit more insight into the annonymous people with whom we trade together
Wish us all loooooooooooooooooooads of pips
