    I'm not sure why you guys are still replying to this dude who is clearly just winding up everyone and having fun doing so. I feel a bit sorry for Jay, I'm puzzled as to why he would short USDJPY in a clear uptrend, that was a clear fake inducement to the short side, I would only be looking for long opportunities on that pair... I chip in from time to time to learn from traders and foresee my own trading. Yes the gains are poor and have been so for a while. That would have been an exit call for any investor. I know in my own trading I take on risk but only on good probability trades, as of late I have learnt from some damaging mistakes. After all I'm not a professional trading several millions. I can assure you that 25-40% a month is pretty normal and achievable with low Drawdown and SL targets. I have demonstrated it similarly on my own myfxbook portfolio.

    Going to do the same gbguimaraes. Not worth the hassle and I only want to read useful information from Jay, Nick, or others that asking about missed trades slippage etc. Oh well. I t was a good thread for a couple of years. Shame.

    I agree with the above post. Primi can you send some verification about your 3% per day returns. You have to be a made man living it large. If you were invested in SC then I seriously doubt your claim. Start a new thread about your lifestyle.. Inspire us with pictures of you taking lavish holidays and lots of pretty women by your side.

    Then why did you stop working with the guy who was making 3% daily went to SC with 0.7% monthly?
    If you were working with this trader for 5 years, you would be a billionare and wouldnt be bothering with SC. It makes no sense. But hey, good for you if what you are saying is true.

    SC is a good trader, but I think he got risk management issue. Losing 20% in 2 months said so.
    It is true, I can not show you 5 years track record of my manager. You are absolutely correct. Everyone has their own preferences and in my opinion some of you are too hung up on the length of the track record. For sure there has to be some trading history but if your are only looking for systems with 5 years history, you are missing out. For me a 9 month trading history is a good indicator of how the system will behave in the future.


    SC looked very good from 2013-2015, I would have actually invested back then. But it looks like in 2015 they changed the strategy completely and the stats also show it. Its like someone else is trading the account as there are huge differences in performance and money management. If I were you, I would be asking Nick how is it possible for the same strategy to perform so differently. Why did the 13-15 account stop trading in January 2015 and there was no new account until April 2015 when the trading continued and results completely changed? Is this really the same trader and same strategy? I mean avg trade leght on the early account was 9 hours and on current account it is 5 days. Even if you take out the trades from November which were opened for months and raised the avg trade lenght, the avg was still 4 days. Thats 10 times more than the original account. All these differences would make me wonder if this is the same trader and if it is, why a very good and winning strategy has changed so much.


    If I only look at the account from April 2015, I could have told you that its not worth investing in July 2015, then again in March 2016, January 2017 and December 2017. It actually seems like the account gets in trouble every 9 months or so, but up until a month ago it mostly got out of trouble. Getting out of trouble wasnt because of skill, it was simply luck and we all know luck eventually runs out, especially in trading. Since 2015, the strategy is to close winning trades early and hold the losing ones in hope of them coming back to profit. If they dont come back, they are closed for a 10-15% loss. This would still be ok if the system was making better average returns but for 1% per month it is just not something worth investing in.

I was prepared to contribute but will only do so if I see Xinvestor do his share.

    And it is not going to happen in this thread!

    And for your information, I was actually very conservative with my 3% daily remark. Very conservative! Because you simply can't handle the truth about what excellent trading looks like. But this is not the place to discuss it! There are other sections far more appropriate but everybody just keeps coming in here. Open a new thread, it's really not so difficult!! People will read it if they find it of value. And people will notice because there really is not that much activity going on here to push a thread off the front page in 30 minutes flat.

    If posters in this thread can't contain themselves then there just has to be some degree of moderation, unfortunately.
    So you went from making 3% daily to 0.7% monthly? And you guys call me a troll
    At least I am being honest, this guy is just making things up.

    I've also said you have made points. We are all aware that we haven't made money. it's not rocket science. A few of us have portfolios mate and are still making money while 1 trader loses another can win. You obviously have knowledge, again i have made complimentary posts in the past, but guys here are asking you specific questions and you're not answering, in effect dodging questions so maybe you should grow a pair and answer for people.

    In all honesty I just want you to shut the **** up because you are no longer helping anyone here and you haven't for some time now, and as I said you are most likely COSTING US MONEY. I think your intentions were initially half to help people and half because you're obviously a previous member that got banned and want to fling shit at Nick. This is not your thread, no one gives a toot anymore. It's noise noise noise. Please stop it. Grow some and stop.
    How am I not answering? I answered every sigle question. I just didnt post my managers results as I am not here to promote them.

    You on the other hand should calm down a bit. Its not good for your helth to get so excited over a few posts.

    And I am still waiting for you or anyone else to point out one statement I made that was not true. Whole forum is attacking me, yet nobody has found anyting. All you do is gang up on me because I am not of the same opinion as you. Thats whats trully pathetic. You guys really look like the lafties who claim there are more than 2 genders and if you dont agree with them, you are not enlightened and should shut the f*** up.

    One last thing. How am I costing you money? You said it yourself that nobody gives a crap about what I am saying. So either my posts have huge effect on the traders psychology and he is somehow doing worse because of it, in which case he does give a crap. Or they dont affect him which would mean he doesnt care about what I say and it doesnt cost you any money. You are contradicting yourself in every single post so come back when you have decided about which path to take and stick with it. If trading makes you so emotional then it might be time for you to find another venture.

    I really am trying to say something positive guys but I am struggling with the trading. I will give it four more weeks. Looking at Jay's recent stop loss and TP positions I see no change and the chance that poor risk management is still in place with this strategy. To have a few small winners yesterday and one loss that took away all the small profits is not the style I am happy with.

    Jay's last few emails particularly praising his gold strategy seems to me that his focus is on gold.

    I am at tethers end with this trading and I do apologise for some of my previous comments. I just hate to see all the hard work over the last 4 or 5 years coming undone from not accepting you are wrong and poor risk management.

    Even my accountant questioned why I am persisting with forex after my last two years of losses.

Win rate is astonishing, there is hardly a loss involved, and there are always a few trades like that you can find every single day. Stop loss is tight, target is always at least 2.5 times further than your stop. For anything less he didn't even bother.

    So how does this information help anybody here in any way? It doesn't. I'm only bringing this up to put Xinvestors 40% into prespective. Pathetic.
    You guys are saying 40% is pathetic?? Show me a trader that can make 40% Per Annum with max drawdown not exceeding 10% and I will invest.

    A good trader IMO is one whos maximum drawdown over a 12 month period is less then half of what his annual return is. So if his annual return is 20% then his drawdown will not exceed 10%. That's the type of trader I would encourage Nick to find.

    Nick says that's an impossible dream. I don't think so.

    Am I asking for something impossible?? I really want to be part of the forexsignals success story but I am dissapointed so far with what I see. Good money management is everything.

    Xinvestor - If you have the know how then put your money where your mouth is and setup a myfxbook link.

    I am doing good trading shares but I would like to diversify in Forex and show me the trader that meets the above requirements and I may invest.

    Primi - Are you retired in Barbados or somewhere?? 3% per day means you would be a millionaire in 12 months even if you started with small capital.

    I am averaging about 12% every 6 months CFD trading shares and my max drawdown so far has been 9%. I don;t have time for day trading Forex where good returns can be made which is why I am on this site.

    Hoping SC can get his money management sorted and produce higher returns then I could be interested.

    Will be watching his performance with great interest.
