Past performance is not indicative of future results.

CFTC RULE 4.41 - HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN

Trading performance displayed herein is hypothetical. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance trading results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Notes: All trades on this list posted before they occurred and are the "official" posted trades only. I did not post stop losses or static take profits for any of the trades, as market conditions change all the time and our rules for trade management dictates that partial profits be taken regularly at certain market obstacles. Before you continue, I encourage you to read through the material on this topic in order to avoid any confusion in regards to our method. Entry levels posted above are based on my personal entries but fit within the framework of what was discussed in regard to each one as they occurred. A static stop loss of -40 pips and maximum pips profited at +250 pips is assumed on all of these trades. Spreads are not taken into account for any of these trades as they vary from broker to broker, and trades were either entered or avoided in accordance with our rules. The “max drawdown” column is the maximum number of pips each trade went negative before reaching the number in the “max pips” column. The "max pips" column is the maximum number of pips each trade produced before getting stopped out at a -40 pip stop loss. Trades and other information posted here are for discussion purposes only! We help each other! Enjoy!
