    We have new trades and new pairs!!! So 2 shorts on eur/usd, a short on usd/chf and a long on aud/usd. So 2 pro and 2 con dollar trades, all same lot size. This looks like a hedging strategy but when Telmo sees my post he could explain us more about this new approach.

    Hi,

    As i told in my previous post, we add some new cycles to trading - the minor cycles - with this we can now diversify a smaller portfolio without putting in risk our objectives - low drawdown and for sure increase the profitability of the all portfolio. We will probably introduce more 1 or 2 pairs to the equation - gbpusd and usdjpy, but we are taking in consideration a possible imbalance of the portfolio, and some more tests need to be made in order to guarantee the integrity of all trading basket.

    The strategy remains the same, the money management suffer some adjustments, but we change it in order to protect even more the clients accounts and off course create wealth.

    regards,
    Telmo

    Lot of activity without a positive outcome. 10 trades closed the 14th and 15th of August and our profit % was reduced to 8.31 from 8.61. We now have 7 open trades that show a negative running balance of 85 dollars.

    We have closed already sub-cycles on EUR and part of the CHF. On AUD, we have now what we call an extreme situation,that is a conflict of signals on difference cycles range. On EUR a major cycle is at play, but we can have a extreme situation too.

    So resuming, market is really undefined, which lead to our system accumulate some cycles, in order that when break, we collect our profits.

    The most important is, we are now in DD, but not relevant at all to all performance of accounts,which is very good.

    regards,

    Ouch, Ouch and Ouch once again. All profits are gone. In just 2 days. 114 History trades, so 12 trades closed since yesterday, most with heavy losses. Right now we are under water. The balance of closed trades shows just 33 dollars profit and the balance of open trades is at -55 dollars.

    Extreme situation on AUDUSD put us on high drawdown, but still under our previous peak drawdown (8.38%).
    Like Murphy law says, If anything can go wrong, it will - so as soon as we introduce more pairs to the portfolio, they enter in extreme scenario and put us on this Drawdown. Although i´m more than convinced that nex week we will again at higher levels on the accounts,because that´s the way our system and money management works.

    Sux. I took a short on AUD/USD at 1.04806 earlier today and it just kept dropping so I left it open. Then like a moron I just kept staring at it increase the profit and before I knew it, the prices stopped changing. O shit, forgot today was friday haha. I hope it falls like a rock on Sun because I totally forgot to close it out today! Duh. so stupid. Good thing its just a demo account rofl. And of course since it is, it'll probably fall like a rock. If it were live, it'd probably open higher than mount everest with my luck lol. My window stopped moving and its stuck on 1.04159.

    After the Drawdown seen on accounts, that for our trading is not acceptable at all( caused by the incorporation of new pairs on the portfolio), we´ve decided cut the losses and move forward with only EURUSD pair.

    This is a wise decision. For the record the account is now at 4395 dollars and 2 eur/usd (longs) trades are open that show a 30 dollar profit.
    From a 6.8% profit we are now at -12%. This of course is not a good thing and now we will have to wait for the signal to prove it's ability, first to recover and the second to come back in a stable profitable curve.
