Our trading uses 90% technical and 10% fundamental bias with our systems comprising of “leading” indicators that often precede news announcements getting us into positions early to take advantage of fundamental news driven price moves. We do not use automated systems as we believe profitable trading is an art due to continuous ever changing market dynamics. With manual trading, we more easily adapt to current conditions which help to keep our draw downs more manageable, unlike automated systems which often suffer through high drawdowns.

I think the primary trait that makes us more successful than most other traders is that we adapt my trading style to fit various market conditions. The majority of traders use a rule-based methodology; however, markets are ever changing and too dynamic for those systems to maintain long term profitability. As successful traders, we must be flexible and change with the markets. Therefore, I will trade with a variety of "counter-trend" and "with-the-trend" positions based on several time frames. Doing this increases the probability of catching the next move with limited downside. The way this is achieved is to trade with limited risk, but unlimited reward. In other words, we cut our losses quickly, but let the winners run. If a trade is not working to our favor, we are quick to take the loss and move forward. We have no problem taking losses whatsoever! We also move our protective stop losses to breakeven once price has moved into our favor a predetermined number of pips. When this happens, the trade essentially becomes risk free. We then move on and look for the other opportunity, but at the same time, our risk-free trade is well positioned to catch the next big move. Though our overall winning percentage is 55%, we remain profitable due to the winners being larger than the losers. Lastly, I want to emphasize that we NEVER add to a losing position, nor do we ever increase trade risk by extending stop losses. The key to successful Forex trading is a combination of trade management, risk management, leveraging, proper hedging, patience, along with realistic expectations. With these attributes along with my 26 years of trading experience, you can count on us to deliver the best of results with tightly controlled drawdowns.
