The Miner account performed as expected again, although the market has continued to make quite a run against the system on the AUD/NZD pair. Given that leverage was reduced earlier, and that relative DD is lower than would otherwise be expected, we’re now presented with the option to increase the leverage again – with due consideration given to the fact that we may very well see a further a run against the system. On the upside, the EUR/CHF pair appears to be awaking from its sleep; there’s now talk of a run north towards 1.5250 which will greatly assist in offseting the drawdown on the AUD/NZD pair.

The Hunter accounts continued good run of trading continues; in spite of the current USD strength and GBP weakness, we’ve ended up with a respectable positive month, with both comfortable running open-position DD and account exposure.

The Scalper accounts have now been discontinued. Refer to our October Results post for further details.

The longer running Managed Gold accounts were shining brightly as you might have expected with gold at around US$1200, leaving us with good balance and equity gains. As it happened starting into this month of December with rather better than expected NFP numbers bolstering the USD, gold tumbled quite dramatically and along the way at least some of those returns were given back. The focus will now be to look for a good long entry with the view this bull run has not yet hit top!

This month, the Self Managed Gold account again closed several long trades for a big gain. The results page of the website will be updated with exact numbers shortly.

While some accounts do have open-position DD to varying degrees depending on the account particulars, with the exception of the discontinued Scalper accounts, everything else is performing well overall… which I trust is a nice addition to your Christmas stocking.

Official October Results:

• Managed FX Miner: 2.81%¹
• Managed FX Hunter: 5.56%¹
• Managed FX Scalper: -3.21%¹
• Managed Gold Account: -2.3%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 3.8%

The Miner account performed as expected again, bringing no surprises given the rock-solid predictability of this system. The market has made quite a run against the system on the AUD/NZD pair. As mention in our last post, the leverage was reduced due to out-of-favour pricing being rather close to the long-term median price. That turned out to be a prudent move as the AUD/NZD pair continues to move further away from the long term median, because our relative open position drawdown is lower than would otherwise have been the case had the system been left completely to its own devices. Thinking ahead, this presents an improved position to consider increasing the leverage, which we might expect to bring a return to higher monthly ROI numbers.

The Hunter account, by comparison, had a tough start to the month in terms of maximum DD with a hangover from last month. But, as the month played out those positions came back to us. I’ve had a rather good run of trading these past couple of weeks, and we’ve ended up with a respectable positive month now, and we’re back to a comfortable running open-position DD: Currently around 5%.

The Scalper accounts have once again had the ups and downs that are in its character. Unfortunately, down more than up this month, and after a rather prolonged lack-lustre performance this account will officially be discontinued for at least the present time, while we do some further evaluation and testing on our account. Only if we see vastly improved performance will it again become an official offering. Current clients have 3 options:

1. to continue per our test account, which Emmanuel our Tech Director will take charge of;
2. move those funds to an Miner or Hunter account;
3. discontinue the Scalper account altogether and withdraw.

Note that not one account is actually behind on starting balance, but for the risk and methodology over the last few months, it simply doesn’t make much sense at present. However, I have certainly not given up completely; it’s just that I want to see some more verification of its performance before I’ll accept any new accounts.

The longer running Managed Gold accounts at ODL and FXPro didn’t shine as brightly as you might have expected. The reality is that I misjudged gold’s rise; I had anticipated a pullback to clear out short hedged positions at FXPro and ODL accounts that never came. I’ve been swapping some of the balance gains made previously for reducing the short hedge, and was trying my best to time picking the top, release longs and to average back to the short position. All aimed at cleaning up accounts with the view to resume a long-only stance.

Note that as it stands now all account holders at FXPro and ODL are at about starting equity plus a little when taking into account the short hedged positions, and net 0.01 long from US$1082. Moving forward from here, all current and future gold accounts will be traded long only, and, if gold does retrace the short positions can be covered (i.e. removed). And if that doesn’t eventuate, then it’s fine and in fact preferred: Equity will continue rise with the price of gold, and we can effectively ignore the hedge for the time being.

FXDD gold accounts are not in the same position, due to anti-hedging regulations that came into place I took a hit on these accounts at that time to clear all the short hedges. At that time it did hurt, but ultimately turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I could not hedge further even if I wanted to. This, in addition to added scaleability of 0.01 increments (versus 0.01s only at FXPro and ODL) results in a nice positive month for account holders, with no open position drawdown.

It’s a regrettable and unfortunate turn of events for ODL and FXPro account holders, but please do take some consolation in the fact that we are not talking about losses here, just unrealised gains. All the accounts are ahead, and will continue to increase their equity position just as long as gold continues its march north. The Self Managed Gold account again did close a trade this month for a 3.8% gain. Yes, this is one of the ideal market environments for the Gold Rush system and it’s absolutely kicked my proverbial discretionary gold-trading backside! And, for US$99 and about an hour of your time it’s yours. Existing Managed Gold account clients are entitled to complementary copy of this digital product to provide you with 100% control over a long only gold position – just contact us and we’ll issue you a copy.

It’s tough to have to officially discontinue the Scalper accounts, and I may have to forgo some assets under management in the process. It will, however, free up my time to focus on what have proven to be the better performers, and much easier to trade to boot; that is, the ultra reliable Miner accounts and the very actively traded Hunter accounts, as well as additionally for the Managed Gold accounts. It will also free up more of the team’s time so that we can focus on improving our customer service and response times, and ultimately invest more time into the back-end R+D for our client’s benefit.

Again, the portfolio as a whole achieved a respectable result this past month. Despite a losing month on the Hunters, those with their risk diversified across a range of accounts were again positive overall. This shows the value in applying modern portfolio theory; that it’s recommended for investors to employ a wide range of uncorrelated strategies in their portfolio to maintain a consistent equity curve.

I’m pleased to report that plenty of progress has been made in the back end of the business. We now have three VPS structures, with one dedicated to each specific account type: one for the Miners; one for the Scalpers; and the last for the Hunters – although our Gold accounts share VPS space with the Miners.

The development work for our newest proprietary EA system continues, and I’m not sure that it will ever completely end. That said, we do have one client account running live already – upon his insistance to get it into live trade, no less! So far so good, it’s been in trade for only a short while, and even though it’s not designed to be an extremely high yield system, it’s already in profit and moving forward nicely. There’s virtually zero DD to-date, but then again the market has been kind to the likes of this system just recently. Before it’s released en-masse, I’m refining the system and its settings even further to allow it to operate comfortably on the AUD/NZD pair, as well as the current EUR/CHF pair for more balanced operation in general. I continue to be really excited about this system in particular, which I view as the best long-term automated trading-system for a number of reasons that will soon be revealed. You should expect to receive a detailed overview of the system this month provided I can make the time and no technical hold-ups preclude me from doing so.

Official September Results:

• Managed Gold Account: 6.17%¹
• Managed FX Miner: 1.7%¹
• Managed FX Hunter: -2.87%¹
• Managed FX Scalper: -2.46%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 4.1%

The Miner account performed as expected again, bringing no surprises given the rock-solid predictability of this system. The market did make its typical runs against the system and back again, and has continued to move away from the ideal entry zone on AUD/NZD (which has recently been the most profitable pair) and hence leverage has been reduced. Simultaneously, the market is moving into favour of the EUR/CHF where leverage has been increased accordingly and some recent northbound market spikes were very nicely received in favour of the Miner system on the EUR/CHF pair.

The Hunter account, by comparison, has had a tough month in terms of returns (some accounts did see a realized 5-10% dip) versus maximum drawdown (15-20%). The xxx/JPY pairs did head south this past month and I was not always on the right side of a lot of those moves. The bread and butter AUD/USD and USD/CAD pairs have, however, been very kind to those accounts and continue to be so. The recent GBP weakness is the toughest pill to swallow causing the most grief in the accounts with our short EUR/GBP position. But given time, patience and good money-management, we’ll find ourselves out of that trade.

The Scalper account has again had its ups and downs as is its character. Still we ended positive, taking into account that the last trade of the month changed the outcome from what would have been 5% plus result. I concede that it’s not yet living up to expectations, but still we are, at least, headed in the right direction.

The longer running Managed Gold account performed the best in terms of realized gains this month with some nice northbound moves. Still, I note that gold is struggling to go above US$1000, yet at the same time it gets bought up aggressively on the dips and has maintained its high price – this shows buying support for now at least. It’s tipped to go much higher still, but I’ve learnt not to buy into that sort of hype. If it does indeed go higher, we will of course be on the lookout for long positions, but even if it tanks then that would be fine too.

The Self Managed Gold account again did close a trade this month for a near 5% trade, and just missed out on the US$1025 target by $1 which would have resulted in a near 10% month – after several months of sideways action the gold market finally came to the party with this simple system.

Well, it’s come around to that time of month again.

Overall, the entire portfolio achieved a respectable result this past month and, with our infrastructure and manpower becoming increasingly able and refined, we are very well placed for the future!

We’ve completed much of the development work for our newest proprietary EA system. I’m really excited about this system in particular, because I view it as the best long-term automated-trading system for a number of reasons that will soon be revealed. You should expect to receive a detailed overview of that system this month.

Official August Results:

• Managed Gold Account: 1.68%¹
• Managed FX Miner Account: 3.13%¹
• Managed FX Hunter Account: 8.46%¹
• Managed FX Scalper Account: 11.79%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 0%² (now approx 5% September to date, with 2% open)

The Miner account performed as expected, bringing no surprises given the rock-solid predictability of this system. The market did make its typical runs against the system and back again, but has now moved away from the ideal entry zone on AUD/NZD (which has recently been the most profitable pair) and hence leverage has been reduced. Simultaneously, the market is moving into favour of the EUR/CHF where leverage has been increased accordingly.

The Hunter account had a stellar month in terms of returns (+10% best) versus maximum drawdown (-5%). The xxx/JPY pairs did head south this past month and I am glad to say I was on the right side of a lot of those moves. The bread and butter AUD/USD and USD/CAD pairs have also been very kind to accounts, as have some long GBP/USD positions after its 800 pip move south from 1.60.

The Scalper account has again had its ups and downs, but this month we had some great days which put them well into positive territory overall. We did deploy the old version of the other EA (non-scatter-trade version), and operated it on a pair that has been producing good profits lately (USD/CAD), as well as continuing with what has long been a profitable pair (EUR/CHF) at reduced risk.

Given that our selected broker changed the spread structure, all Scalper accounts were taken out of trade for one week while others took the chance with real money. Since no dire reports surfaced for the second week they were re-applied at low risk. The accounts did make gains live so it would seem that profit potential continues to lay in the systems and risk will be increased back to the previous settings this coming month.

The longer running Managed Gold account returned a small positive this month, with predominantly sideways-to-bullish gold price over the course of the month again. That is, until the last two days of the month when gold rocketed northward into the 990’s (6 month highs) and more balance gains have been made in the past two days than over the whole of last month.

The Self Managed Gold account again did not close a trade this month, but did so shortly thereafter, so is approximately 5%+ month to date.

This and a host of other changes implemented over this month are all aimed at the long term success and ongoing viability of , but focusing on that along with some sub-optimal trades on my behalf have impeded the Hunter and Managed Gold account performance this month. Nonetheless, rest assured that nothing is amiss, and we’re simply laying more groundwork for the future.

We’ve also gained a new team member, who is being trained to work on our web-based non-trading work load, which will free time for me to do more trading, which equates to more profits on the trading accounts!

Expect to hear more shortly, about both my latest creation and our newest team member.

Another point I want to bring to your attention is that despite this lean month, we’ve still produced an overall positive result across the entire portfolio, and we did it with relatively low volatility and low risk when measured in terms of both balance and peak-to-valley performance. You can bet that I would have liked to have seen better results, but half the challenge with FX is in not losing; because, the good months will come to those who are patient and are able to view FX investing over the long term, and not as a day-to-day adventure.

Official July Results:

• Managed Gold Account: 2.99%¹
• Managed FX Miner Account: 2.31%¹
• Managed FX Hunter Account: 0.11%¹
• Managed FX Scalper Account: 0.61%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 0%²

The Miner account performed as expected, bringing no surprises given the rock solid predictability of this system. The market did make its typical run against the system, followed through by a move back into its favour… and against, again. All these moves are very much within the expected tolerance limits. Open position draw-down did become very low during the course of the month, but I took the opportunity to exit final remaining open-positions for some FXDD based Miner accounts: especially in light of the potential new NFA FIFO regulations coming into force at FXDD.

These regulations have not yet impacted any Miner accounts, so if your account is still locked in, then you are not in any immediate need of intervention as yet. The worst-case scenario is to remove all “take profit” orders, and exit by awaiting a positive enough move to break even or better on all remaining open positions. This is no big issue, and just requires understanding the exit plan.

The Hunter account, after a stellar month, went relatively quiet. Unfortunately I didn’t fully capitalize on the biggest single opportunity: I used the beginning of that move to get accounts back to a near flat state with no open positions. I’m pleased to say I achieved that objective, albeit at a small cost, although if I’d held, we’d have experienced another month similar to the last. But that’s a traders life sometimes.

This coming month, if stocks do tank big-time, then you will be sure to see some significant gains on the xxx/JPY positions in your accounts. We’re definitely in territory where JPY is very oversold, and any market scares will see significant yen strength. If you have any stocks, a simple 25% trailing stop strategy will assist in lifting potential losses. Many experts agree that a pullback is extremely likely in the near future.

The Scalper account has again had its ups and downs, and again ended the month just above break-even. The achilles heel of this system is that it can suffer losses that are significantly bigger than any one winning trade, and frustratingly that is what occurred again this month. I still remain faithful to the EA’s currently in use, in fact one of them has only had one losing trade to date, so it remains in place and unchanged for the coming month.

We’re looking to deploy the old version of the other EA, and operate it on a pair that has been producing good profits lately, as well as continuing with what has long been a profitable pair (except very recently – EUR/CHF) at reduced risk. Because, the old version is from before the scatter-trade releases, which the designers equipped with a delay function to cope with so many market participants wanting simultaneous execution at the same broker. This way execution would at least occur, when previously literally hundreds of market participants wanted the same price at precisely the same moment, and the orders couldn’t be filled.

All of that accounts for the slightly inconsistent entries and exits experienced across accounts. Now that most users have moved to the scatter-trade version, it makes sense for us to move back to the old version, because then our trades with the old release will be towards the front of the line, versus being delayed and at the end of the line for many users of the newer versions.

The longer running Managed Gold account returned a small positive this month, with a predominantly sideways-to-bullish gold price over the course of the month – still accounting for some downside risk protective shorts that remain in place. These days gold behaves more like stocks, and is highly speculative. As such, I think when we see a pull back on stocks, gold will follow: Although I remain bullish in the medium to long term.

The Self Managed Gold account did not close a trade this month, after an outstanding performance last month, with the price of gold going more south than north without a significant retracement to profit from.

Official June Results:

• Managed Gold Account: 7.01%¹
• Managed FX Miner: 7.45%¹
• Managed FX Hunter: 18.69%¹
• Managed FX Scalper: 0.91%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 0%²

The Miner account performed as expected, and not to sound repetitive, but again no surprises given the predictability of this system. The market did make its typical run against the system followed through by a move back into the favour…and against, again. All moves were very much within the expected tolerable limits. Open position drawdown did get very low during the course of the month which quite often occurs as the market returns to an equilibrium in relation to this strategy and currently running well within expected tolerances.

The Hunter account has also been performing exceptionally well, with a maximum open position DD of around 8% and just shy of an official 20% month on the account we currently track. It’s a lot of work to trade this particular account but the returns that can be achieved are very much commensurate with the input.

The Scalper account has again had its ups and downs and ended the month just over break even. We had a very good start on accounts, with steady gains across the month. The achillies heel of this system is that it can suffer losses that are significantly bigger than any one winning trade. I still remain faithful to the EA’s currently in use and if not for the one or two losers over the month we’d have seen a good monthly return.

The longer running Managed Gold account returned a nice positive this month despite the downturn in the gold price over the course of the month – which is the real advantage of this predominantly bullish gold system over the Self Managed Gold Account option…

The Self Managed Gold account did not close a trade this month, after a stellar performance last month, with the price of gold going more south than north without a significant retracement to profit from.

If you’d like to see further information on any of the accounts, click on the name of the account below and feel welcome to follow it up with a direct enquiry. We can furnish genuine enquiries with live account statements, read only access and address any concerns you may have..

Official May Results:

• Managed Gold Account: 3.54%¹
• Managed FX Miner: 7.58%¹
• Managed FX Hunter: 9.94%¹
• Managed FX Scalper: -0.7%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 9.09%

The Miner account performed as expected, no surprises given the predictability of this system. The market did make a 500 pip move against the system which it soaked up with ease, even on a 2 x leveraged account, as it is designed to do. Later in the month the market made a big move back into the favour of this system…racking up a heap of gains along the way and significantly reducing open position drawdown, in some recent accounts to zero open position drawdown at times.

The Hunter account has also been performing exceptionally well, with a maximum open position drawdown of just 5% and not too far shy of a double digit month on the account we currently track. Just one relatively minor blemish on the account with a bad CAD/JPY trade, spoiling an otherwise near perfect run.

The Scalper account has by comparison had its ups and downs and ended the month close to break even. Not such a bad result considering the potential ROI and leverage involved. To this point this week we have seen close to a 7.48% gain in just 3 days of trading – at that rate it would more than double an account over 4 weeks, that’s what this account is about and why the monthly profit expectation is posted at 20 -30%.

The longer running Managed Gold accounts both returned positives this month with the Self Managed Gold system posting an exceptional result. The Self Managed Gold system is absolutely long only so of course it really prospers in the uptrends….by the same token we had two months prior without a result and there is increased downside risk by comparison to the managed option. The Managed Gold account has also posted some nice gains this week and is on a good start for June.

If you have any questions please feel welcome to contact us and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours unless it’s a weekend…even then you’ll probably get lucky.

All of our new accounts are going from strength-to-strength with some very good numbers being achieved, especially by comparison to the longer running Managed Gold account which has been copping more downside gold price action of late than up.

We’ll be summarizing our results updates from this point forward, so to view the full history of results for each account, click on the name of the account below:

Official April Results:

• Managed Gold Account: 4.27%¹
• Managed FX Miner: 9.31%¹
• Managed FX Hunter: 12.17%¹
• Managed FX Scalper: 18.3%¹
• Self Managed Gold Account: 0%²

Self Managed Gold accounts missed a TP target at $925 by just $7 and missed a 5% return this month. Unfortunately it also missed 2 trades last month for the same reasons. We do however have a solution, an EA (autotrader) in current test mode that will address this deficiency for improved efficiency and guaranteed profitability on balance month-to-month, which will be available later this month, so keep a lookout!

If you have any questions please feel welcome to contact us and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

Although I’m a gold bull at heart, like many of you, as I write this I’m currently watching gold test the previous recent low of $US865 now potentially forming a double bottom (if it breaks we can expect more downside with not much noted support until US$800).

My speciality is in trading itself and I’ve long been a supporter of diversification into various unrelated strategies in the market to achieve consistent monthly gains.

To that end, we here at have some exciting new managed forex account options requiring lower minimums to invest, some posting double digit monthly returns on REAL MONEY accounts:

• Managed FX Hunter Account

  The objective with this account is to be buying up certain currencies as they become cheap relative to the USD – mainly buying long positions on the CAD, AUD, CHF and GBP.

• Managed FX Miner Account

  This account employs an EA which is a form of auto-trading system with discretionary management applied that achieves very consistent but small daily gains with relatively low DD.

• Managed FX Scalper Account

  A high leverage, high risk and commensurately high ROI account, employing a combination of two scalper EA’s with discretionary management.

Both the Miner and the Scalper accounts are hosted on our dedicated VPS at no additional charge to our clients, and they are managed by myself. We also have a new team member, Emmanuel Gob, onboard as our VPS Technical Manager to assist in maintaining and supervising our VPS. To date Emmanuel has been invaluable and you can rest assured our team is acting in varying capacities to provide our growing client base a high level of client service.

As we manage each account individually, your risk preference can be precisely customized. For the most part the EA’s are left to their own devices but from time to time, manual trading intervention becomes prudent to both limit losses, decrease volatility and to increase the likelihood of profitability.

If you’ve any questions at this point please check our recently updated Managed Account FAQ page.

If you’d like to proceed with opening your own brokerage account please check our recently updated How to Open a Managed Account page.

Some of my clients who keep in close contact have already ventured into some of the above-mentioned accounts, so to you most of this will be “old news”, but the website now reflects the offers in a more “official” capacity.

As usual, if you’ve any questions not covered on our website, please feel free to contact us and it will be our pleasure to respond.
