Forex Profit Monster Results - August 2012

It's not very often that I see 2 losing months back-to-back, but that's what August brought to me.  The bad news is that I closed out the month of August losing 699 pips, but the good news is that I caught some great trends toward the end of the month and carried about 1,900 pips of profit in open equity into September.  As long as there aren't any large spikes in volatility this should be enough to wipe out the drawdown that I entered into at the end of June and should keep me from showing a loss for the 3rd quarter of 2012.  Of course I won't know until the month of September is closed out and the pips (and money) are "realized".

Here are the results for the 4 Hour chart in August:

27 trades
  6 wins:    517 pips
21 losses: 1,216 pips

Total:  (-699) pips

22% win rate
Avg win:  86 pips
Avg loss:  58 pips
Avg risk/reward:  1.48 to 1

And the results by currency pair:

GBP/JPY  1W, 1L  +79
USD/CAD 1W, 2L  +62
AUD/USD 2W, 1L  +58
EUR/JPY  1W, 2L  (-40)
GBP/USD 1W, 2L  (-93)
USD/JPY  0W, 5L  (-151)
USD/CHF 0W, 4L  (-289)
EUR/USD 0W, 4L  (-325)


The yearly results so far in 2012:

January: +891
February: +206
March: +1,667
April: (-293)
May:  +1,640
June:  +2,209
July:  (-343)
August: (-699)


That's a total of 5,278 pips, or an average of 659 pips per month.

In a couple of weeks I'll post the September results and of course the end of September means the end of the 3rd quarter, so I'll have an updated chart of the overall equity.
