Forex Profit Monster Results - April 2012

April 2012 was a "ranging" month, to be expected after the nice start to the year.  Some small wins, some small losses... all adding up to a small losing month, the first losing month of the year.  The nice thing is that during the month of May several large trends began on a few of the pairs and I'm currently carrying an equity profit of over 1,500 pips which is almost a guarantee of a very profitable May (as long as the trades close out in the next week or so)!

Here are the results for April:

36 total trades
12 wins for 1,172 pips
24 losses for 1,465 pips

Total for April (-293)

33% win rate
Avg win: 97
Avg loss: 61
Avg risk/reward: 1.59 to 1

And the results by currency pair as traded on the 4 Hour chart:

GBP/JPY  2W, 0L  +259
EUR/JPY  2W, 1L  +143
GBP/USD 1W, 3L   +36
EUR/USD 2W, 2L  (-21)
USD/JPY 1W, 3L  (-98)
USD/CHF 2W, 3L (-143)
AUD/USD 1W, 5L (-188)
USD/CAD 1W, 7L (-282)

The yearly results and total so far:

January: +891
February: +206
March: +1,667
April: (-293)

That's a total of +2,471 pips and an average of +617 pips per month.

I got a question this month through the blog about the MT4 platform slowing down and freezing while using FPM and FDM.  Unfortunately the MT4 platform is a "memory hog" and this is almost always a RAM issue with the computer being used.  The lower the time frame you are trading the more of an issue this becomes.  The only remedies are:

1.  Use fewer active charts on your platform.  You can always use one chart and "drag" the new currency pair you'd like to see into the chart from the navigator window instead of running several charts at once.

2. Trade a higher time frame that requires less of your computer's memory resources (combined with fewer charts this is even more effective).

3.  Upgrade to higher RAM for your computer.

Thanks for visiting the results blog and best of luck in your trading!
