Why FOREX?

4

• A change in the trend (direction of trading) between the major currency pairs often takes place at the start of trading in London.

• The Trading System takes positions against the trend at this time.• The purpose is to catch the direction of the day's trading and to realise at

least 50% of the day's trading range as a profit.• All positions are closed off by 23:00 at the latest.• Stops and positions are adjusted for volatility.• The System gives Long and Short positions equal weighting.• Each trade carries a risk of 1% (Leverage 2) or 2% (Leverage 4) or

5% (Leverage 10) according to requirement.

System Stability

• The success rate of all trades in every 12 month period only varies insignificantly between 48% and 60%, mostly clearly more than 50%.

• For Short Only or Long Only, the fluctuations are not significantly greater and the success rate never falls below 43% in any 12 month period.

• The Profit/Loss relationship of Trades and the Profit Factor of the System in every 12 month period is significantly greater than 1, the same is valid for the long side and the short side in isolation.

• Thus ALL 12 month periods were profitable until now, even when only one side was traded.

• The System treats Short and Long equally regardless of the market situation.

• These results demonstrate the stability of the System, especially because the key data was very similar and continually profitable for sample volumes of only an average of 200 trades in 12 months.
