As you can see, there was a lot of volatility before price finally did settle down and head back in the direction it was before. I also closed out the trade I had open on the GBP/USD on the 4 Hour chart for the same reason. I exited that position at 1.9890. That means the results were 173 pips of profit on the USD/CAD and 149 pips on the GBP/USD. That gives Forex Profit Monster a total gain of 1,462 pips for the month of January, the best month yet! After the volatility settled down, I decided to re-enter the USD/CAD short at .9973. Right now the trade is in profit 32 pips... we'll see if this re-entry turns out to be a good move or not :-)I decided to limit my trading today due to the U.S. Non-Farm Payroll coming out as I don't like trading around major news, so no trades have been taken so far for the month of February.
On another subject, I've been getting some email lately from people considering buying Forex Profit Monster. I've decided to post some of the answers I've given them here on the blog because I figure if one person asks it, many others may be thinking it too. One question I've received has asked me if I can post my trade entries in "almost" real time instead of showing the charts after the fact. To be honest, I really have no interest in doing this because I need to concentrate on my trading and other business activities and can't rush to the blog every time I open a trade to post the chart. I try my best to show the open and close when a trade lasts more than a day or two and is convenient for me to post, otherwise my priority is my trading first. I'm not trying to hide anything... I've been upfront that this system is not a holy grail and that there will be losses. I've even shared some of the losing trades right here on the blog. This system is very robust, but there will be losing weeks and maybe even losing months. For those who've asked, here's a breakdown of my monthly results so far with FPM since I've been keeping track:
August 07 + 579 pips
September 07 - 173 pips
October 07 + 385 pips
November 07 + 999 pips
December 07 + 585 pips
January 08 + 1,462 pips
Total - + 3,837 pips in 6 months or + 639 pips per month on average. (I've been trading this system for almost a year, but the first few months were "beta testing" and I made some adjustments to it during this period so I won't post those results).
Now you must realize that I took fewer trades the first three months (Aug, Sep & Oct) than I did the past three months (Nov, Dec, and Jan) and this had an effect on the results. I think as I became more confident in it I did even better. Again... I'm posting my personal results because people are asking. If you decide to use FPM on your own your results can vary depending on the currency pairs you choose to trade, the time frames you choose to trade and your ability to follow the rules of the system. I WILL NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL HAVE THE SAME RESULTS AS ME. I can't emphasize this enough. I'm being as honest and forthright as I can about what to expect from my system... I would rather be honest and have you NOT buy from me than to take your money and have you feel you didn't get what you paid for.
Anyway... with that being said, I hope the month of January was as profitable for you as it was for me, and here's to an even better February!!!
