It’s been business as usual this month albeit with some very volatile market conditions thanks to the PIGS scare, and the resulting surge in USD strength. It’s now most definitely confirmed that we are currently in a primary USD uptrend, and that brings us some challenges. Nevertheless that’s what we have to contend with, and that is the reason we are constantly working on research and development. And that, in turn, has lead to our discovery of an incredibly interesting and exciting new EA system, which displays results and data surpassing anything that’s ever crossed our path before.
This new Razor system works extremely well on live-money accounts, and has been well tested at 5 different brokers so far. As of the first week of February, we’ve begun running it on all existing FX Miner accounts, where its trading has followed the current big trend with 100% accuracy, and with only rare periods of relatively minor DD. Even though the details posted below are based on backtest studies and live forward-testing (because we do not yet have dedicated stand-alone FX Razor accounts for the month of January), I do want to stress that the latest stand-alone live-account performance is equally encouraging.
To see further information on any of the accounts we offer, just click on the name of that account below and read the brief summaries that follow further down. As always, please do feel very welcome to follow up with a direct inquiry. We’re always delighted to furnish genuine inquiries with live-account statements, read-only access to live-accounts and, of course, to address any concerns you may have.
The new Razor account has a super-low entry investment of just US$2,000, but we have only a limited initial trial client intake of 25, with first priority given to our existing clients. If this EA continues to perform as well as we’re anticipating, and as well as it has been doing on live-accounts recently, then this may be your only chance to enter! We are currently trialing at PBFX (a semi-private ECN/non-market-maker brokerage in the US), with the view to also offer the accounts there, because our live-testing has shown even better trading returns at this particular broker. 60% and 70% months are entirely possible even at standard leverage, and between all our live-trading to-date, and our 10 year backtest, we’ve found just one losing month in it’s entire history!
The Miner account performed as expected given the market. At the depths of the extreme move against the system, I gave some returns back with lost hedged trades. That turned out to have been rather unfortunate, because not long after that, two very favourable events occurred:
The SNB intervened not once, but twice to support the EUR/CHF. Such things usually precede a base being formed and an eventual reversal. This puts us in good stead, and I would like to thank the “powers that be” for protecting the downside which would only be exacerbated by the current PIGS situation.
The RBA surprised the market by not raising rates further, causing an immediate downward spike on the AUD/NZD pairs closing out a bunch of shorts for a nice profit.
Despite those favourable events, the whole situation lead to some evolution in our FX Miner system and, having consulted with all existing FX Miner clients, it’s now become ’s mixed robot system. The update includes:
the CarniFeX EA, which has been doing a great job long and short the EUR/CHF and AUD/NZD pairs versus the one-direction only Miner system;
and the new RazorEA, our other all-time favorite EA that really proven itself over the past 10 months.
Going forth, this may very well be one of ’s highest yielding and consistent accounts with some accounts already up as high as 7.5% on February month to date.
The Hunter account’s consistent run of trading continues; although the very strong USD surge caught us a little unprepared being net short in that department. Given the primary trend has changed on the USD, we are looking at things from a USD strength position until a reversal is clearly evident. In the meantime Hunter account holders are going to have to live with some open-position DD – although this shouldn’t adversely affect their ability to continue to make consistent balance gains across the mixed portfolio of positions in the interim period.
The recently introduced Carnifex Pro account has proven ideally suited to the recent market conditions. Our most recently commenced account has also gained the benefit of an excellent entry: The relative extremes in the current price of EUR/CHF and AUD/NZD creates a fabulous opportunity to enter the market at a price far above or below the long term median prices, which should really pay off in the longer term when the price moves back towards that median.
This month, the Self-Managed Gold account closed out one trade, provided your broker of choice did see below US$1,074.50 along with the high of US$1125 for January. With the recent scramble to USD, Gold has taken a bit of dive but it’s also said that when no one else wants to, that is usually the better time to buy. Only history will tell for sure. This is the suggested account of choice for folks wanting core long exposure, and who are willing to take the relatively small investment of time to understand the downside risk associated. It’s essentially no riskier than the same quantity of physical gold but with any increase in leverage comes an associated increase in running open position total.
If you have any questions please do feel most welcome to contact us, and we’ll endeavour to get back to you by the next business day.
Sincere Regards,
Adam
