About this strategy

Blizzard FX trades the GBP/USD and the GBP/JPY based on price action and technical indicators. It will trade in all of the markets

Blizzard FX generates trades from an original Expert Advisor (EA), that is based on several years of research and study. I created and wrote the programming for the EA from scratch. The current version is the 5th generation form the original premise. The EA uses the stochastic indicator as the primary filter for entry points. However, other factors, such as price action, the average true range and the relative strength index contribute to the entry trigger.

Even though the EA pinpoints the entry points, I constantly monitor the market over a broad range of currency pairs to look for abnormalities and news events.

Exit points are based on a predetermined profit target for each trade set. Blizzard FX may add to positions for a total of 16 unit lots per trade set, per currency. When the profit target is reached, the trade set is closed by the EA. Under certain conditions the profit target will be ignored and the trade will be allowed to run before being closed by the EA.

Blizzard FX is similar to my other system Hudson Bay and runs on the same EA only with different parameters. Since it trades two currencies, it will take more trades per week. The GBP/USD works off of the 30 minute time frame, the GBP/JPYworks off of the 5 minute time frame. The two currency pairs are are related and subject to the influences and trends of the pound.

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.
