About this strategy





We use a monthly, weekly and intra-day trend following system to generate high probability trades on GBP/JPY, USD/JPY and GBP/USD pairs. Every single trade is analyzed and verified before we enter the market to maintain its accuracy and profitability.

Our signals are a mix of short-term swing(GBP/JPY) and intra day(USD/JPY,GBP/USD).

Our target is 200% capital growth per year.


Our prime objective is to avoid unnecessary risks.

We believe a proper money management strategy is the only way to succeed in forex and achieve consistent gains in the long run. We follow very strict money management guidelines at all times . We follow very strict set of rules on Stop Losses and trade exits in order to minimize the drawdowns and losses. All our signals/trades come with pre-calculated Stop loss and Take profit targets.

Recommended Money management:


Maximum risk per pair : (Revised on 18/July/2007)



GBP/JPY 2.5% (swing)
USD/JPY 1% (intra-day)
GBP/USD 1.6 % (intra-day)


Maximum total portfolio risk exposure at any given time: 4 %

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.
