Impulse Signal

[georgTT]

Good job so far. I will definitely subscribe if you can keep that low and risk high perfomance...

[reinerh]

to all my subscribers, very important.

on the signal account there is no cut off whatsoever = regards 30% dd stated

also the balance currently sits at euro 3171 and most likely i will keep it around that so it copies correctly to smaller accounts.

but please set dd or whatever limits on your side, meaning whatever max dd stops is acceptable to you. in your dashboard you have many many options to set limits, please use them.

and if anything is not clear as to how to set them, ask simpletrader support, they are top notch in helping you out.

as far as going into dd, this is not a grid or martingale system, where it can go kaboom in a matter of hours.

so take it slow and follow along to build confidence how impulse trades on a lower risk setting before going to max risk 1, and do not run above risk 1.

also please read my monthly update posted above post number 14, its simply a must read.

update, weekly/monthly :

sorry this is a little bit a long one, i promise future updates will be kept brief, since i much rather focus on trading as well as refining my systems.

but i feel this one turned out to become a must read to anybody who wants to be profitable in the long term, so please share this forum link with anybody you care about.

what a month/week it was, green and more green $$$ my subscribers fee for this month should already be paid for, a few times over actually and every single account of mine is sitting at new equity highs.

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/fidelitas/axi-signal-coming-soon/2067022

so i also did start even more virgin accounts recently, to have a clean start vs the current published signal.

but also the underlying idea is that some people strive for more gains and are accepting the associated higher dd levels, vs others the high net worth individuals for example who look for lower gains but with the least amount of underlying risk. so the goal here is to have a signal for everybody.

one other target worth mentioning for all of my accounts is that i aim for the least amount of dd since drawdown is the hardest to stomach for anybody, including myself.

also at one point i sure hope that one of my accounts will be worthy of being picked up by a large institution. but of course this is still way out in the future.

its also my goal to become number 1 on the leaderboard on simpletrader someday.

one might think i am full of myself, thats fine i accept that.

its still my goal none or less, and with lots of hard work and determination i hope to get there eventually.

so now finally to the news,

we all have seen the markets have woken up finally and here are some highlights for each account individually.

impulse the signal first :

after a slow start for the month of october actually going in about 8% dd it recovered ending with .34 % gains for the month.
then this first november week was quite nice with a gain of 356 pips and 3.84 % account growth.

to all my current subscribers only having seen gains this week please dont get carried away, we will have losses as well at some point and one must see this long term, like evaluating results every 3 months or even higher 6 months to a year.
also do not run this above risk 1 under any circumstances. i much rather prefer you be making profits with me long term vs blowing your wad and getting upset as to what happened.

pipmonster,

that one should be interesting to watch. it uses very few small entries but goes for high pip targets while having quite tight sl values, monthly results 7% 477 pips

institutional,

reached 100% gain and 2040 pips already in a little more then a month, with an extreme low dd showing at 2.35 %. this account and pipmonsters only purpose is showcasing what my manual system is capable of.

the fixed 10% monthly,

reached its target on the last day kinda with 993 pips total for the month, but it almost missed the mark.
hope to get that one dialed in better. its purpose/target is fixed 10% monthly with absolutely the least amount of dd possible, current dd shown a measly .34%

furthermore there is still a personal challenge of mine going on with reaching 1000% gains on the institutional account in the shortest amount of time.
regards that account i have been accused of having fallen of my rocker, as in i must be crazy and or a total loon. that in turn fired me up even more to reach the stated target as fast as possible. so please enjoy the ride with me.

newstrading,

far away from prime time. i have been trading this style quite successfully for some time, but just recently added several slaves to copy. and the biggest issue i been running in is my master rakes it in and my slaves give it all back due to getting slipped up to 40 pips, slaves are all loosing.

i trade this manually strictly around newsreleases with tight sl following pa, the style is ala thales if anyone remembers him. so this one i will need to put in much more effort so it copies well.

trendtrader,

started into a dd period but slowly showing gains its green now, up by 292 pips.

impulse FIFO low gain, that one has been renamed, FIFO is gone

slow and steady gains, minimal dd.

that one will no longer be FIFO, since i received no or almost no requests for a FIFO traded signal, so i have given up. please note that my current signal is also not strictly FIFO traded, it actually might still work as in qualifying but i am not 100% sure.

impulse master,

that account is run with a much higher risk setting then the impulse signal, more pairs higher lot sizing, quite high risk.
it made 15% with a dd of 12 % for the month of october. its total gains will have approached 1000% very soon and that in just 5 months of trading, its simply remarkable.
its highest dd to date = currently shown as only 23%

also a very interesting observation i made recently while looking at my competition is that most all signals which show decent monthly average gains of about 3 to 6% achieve that with quite large running drawdown values.

so anybody looking for a really good signal to find must already know its a minefield out there, so below a few tipps as to what to look for.

so looking at the best manual scalper there ever was, i am sure we all know who that is, his master to date averaged 1.64% monthly gains, so that upscaled to show a meager 5% monthly gain, that would have yielded a whopping 40% account draw down.

so we have the impulse master at 56% monthly gains with 23% dd vs monthly gains of 1.64 % with 13.26% dd a month. so it should be crystal clear how much more profitable impulse is

or differently put, try finding a system where monthly gains exceed the monthly dd values, good luck finding that.

so for any prospect clients its utmost important to analyse with care and wisdom, by looking at the longer timeframe overall total gain to dd ratio. this in my book is the most telling number for profit potential for any signal or strategy period.
this is simply done by looking at the abs gain and not the gain, very important, then compared to max dd which equals the monthly gain showing 56% a month in gains on the impulse master account. see myfxbook under stats left side.

the most or shall we say worst systems i seen over the years have run in like 80% or more dd and produced as little as 2 % monthly gains.

to put this in perspective, a 100k account would have shown at one point as little as 20k equity, just to produce 2% monthly overall gains which is lunatic to even consider such a poor performing system.

also make sure to stay away from grids and martingales of any kind, but we all should have learned that by now. every strategy i work on its underlying principle is trend based.

and if you run across a web page showing scandilly clad nearly undressed babes, as well as ferraris all over, click the x in the upper right corner fast and never look back. since i can assure you, that you wont be the one making any money

the my fixed 10% gain a month account should hopefully someday set a new benchmark for gains achieved vs max dd encountered along the way. currently 10.3 % gained to .34 % dd

so in conclusion,

i have to say that the interest in my signal has simply overwelmed me,
and i want to thank all of my current subscribers as well as any future clients for the trust that has been placed in my strategies.

i will keep working very hard to achieve my personal goals stated above, all the while making you all profits along the way as well

my other goal is to build long term relationships with my clients way out into the future, and yes i promise, future updates will be kept brief.

cheers,

and as always green pips to everybody my competition included.

What do you run it on?

[reinerh]

Hi reinerh, Thanks for offering this signal. What is the leverage that we should run it 1:100 is good enough? nc!

[reinerh]

i have already been asked what other of my upcoming signals will compliment Impulse.

as it stands now i can say that trendtrader and the manual newstrading will be suitable since they will be totally non correlating.

but things are still evolving since my main goal was not to go live before next year.

so please be patient you all and enjoy the gains the current signal provides. more signals will be listed in the new year.

[reinerh]

8 trades, no partials, +320 pips today

and there never will be partial closures.

that be cheating to inflate pip count, i refuse to fake statistics.

[reinerh]

dupapa,

i am pretty sure you been burned by grids or marties in the past, reason as to why you been so flustered by the high number of trades = 8.

what i need to again emphasize is that this is not a grid or marty strategy. all my strategies are trend based every single one = the underlying principle. i never will do countertrend, grid or marty of any kind.

and this one has higher tp values with very small lot sizing.

we all should have learned by now the trend is your friend, this is the most rewarding approach for real long term success.

the higher number of opened positions is simply how this strategy works, its not a grid. its strictly based on probability that the majority of positions will turn green.

its a highly complicated manual strategy requiring lots of work every weekend.

impulse the other component is outbreak which should strike tomorrow or a few more times this week looking at all the events scheduled for this week.

so i hope we will end even greener for the week.

[reinerh]

yes nice, we are of to a good start, we already booked 310 pips.

and i expect more action tomorrow and the rest of the week, will keep fingers crossed that it will reward us with more green pips.

and also a big thanks to my current subscribers for showing confidence in my signal.
