4 Hour Stat High/Low Forex Trading System
The forex market tends to trend very nicely but no trend lasts forever. In our research we've found the 4 hour (240min) Statistics to be incredibly useful in finding when the market is likely to reverse.

The rules are simple: Buy the 4 hour Statistical Low and Sell the 4 hour Statistical High.

You can see from the example below it had 100% winning trades.
8 trades with 8 winners, some small scalp profits and some were 20+ pip wins.

In our experience most of these trades move 10+ pips and utilizing our other Forex predictive tools and training you will know when to take a small 10 pip scalp trade or hold on longer as in the buy at 5:30am EST which had a potential profit of up to 60 pips!

Why was the 5:30am EST trade more likely to be the low of that pullback?
If traders use just a little bit of common sense they can improve their trading results dramatically using our tools. For example, this trade was likely to go higher as the trend for the day was up, and more importantly the Weekly and Daily trend was up. Using this same reasoning when taking counter trend trades (Selling) you are less likely to make a lot of pips so should look to exit with 6 to 15 pip profit targets.

Here's another great example. Because the EUR/USD trend is up on all time frames - Intraday, Daily and Weekly, we look to trade in the direction of the UPTREND on counter trend down moves. We use the 4 Hour Stat Low as an excellent place to buy because based on the last 20 days, statistically the market doesn't go down more than this during this 4 hour time frame.

As you can see from this example it finds an excellent buy at 1.3402 and the market goes up 50 pips! The market comes back down and you could also consider buying near the 4 hour statistical low at 1.3425. The market then goes up about 12 pips.

This tool is so incredibly useful for traders as it also gives you signs that the uptrend may be slowing. Notice during the up move from 8am EST till 11:30am the market isn't able to move an AVERAGE amount. That is a big clue that the strength of the uptrend is weakening. Because of this you are not likely to make more than a scalpers profit on the second buy signal! Aggressive traders may consider shorting near the 4 hour stat high at 1.3440 knowing that the uptrend is likely to be over.

In this example we know that the trend is up on all time frames - intraday, Daily and Weekly. The highest probability trades are IN the direction of the longer term trends. You want to buy an uptrend on a short term pullback and short an up move when the longer term trend is down. There's a lot more to learn to consistently make money than this simple rule of thumb but it will keep most traders on the RIGHT side of the trend.

As you can see in this example buying the 4 hour Statistical Low worked great both times, netting 27 pips on the first trade and a whopping 82 pips on the second. One of the reasons we look to hold for bigger profits is because on previous up swings the market moved MORE than an average amount!

The genius of this tool is that not only does it give you excellent entry and exit points but alerts you to the possibility that volatility and trend strength have increased and thus you can take bigger profits!

In this USD/JPY example you can see two trades with 100% results. Since the trend is up the first sell signal only provides a scalp profit of 15 or so pips while the second buy signal produced up to a 45+ pip gain. We recommend when trading against the trend to take a 6 to 15 pip profit and when trading with the trend use our chandelier trailing stop to lock in most of the move which can be substantial.

The KEY to profitable trading is to have small losses and big wins. Letting your trend trades develop and turn into 30+ pip wins really helps cover the inevitable losses.

In this GBP/USD example there were 3 trades with 100% wins and the potential to catch 165 Pips in about 10 hours of trading.

The first sell signal at the 4 hour statistical high is perfect, the market stalls and goes maybe 6 pips against the trader before falling 80 pips. The second buy signal is fantastic as the Previous Day's Low is just a few pips underneath giving this level MORE Support! The market then rallies straight up 50 pips. The 4 hour statistical high held perfectly, the market fell 35 pips.

Today in the EUR/USD there were 5 trades / 5 winners - 100% Profitable and it made a maximum of 65+ pips.

Pretty much self explanatory, the market normally reverses off of the 240 minute statistical high or low so you sell the highs, buy the lows.

The addition of our new FX Multimap makes it even higher probability. The Buy at 3:40am EST, Sell at 4:35am EST and Sell at 1:30pm EST are the highest probabilities of these trades due to the decreased momentum. Whenever you trade against a trend, the FX Multimap lets you know if your odds are more or less and how many pips you can expect to make.

In this excellent example you can see the GBP/USD hits the 4 hour statistical low where you buy. Most of the time these levels hold perfectly but the GBP is in a strong downtrend as you can see in the FX Multimap. You can either buy here and scale in 10 to 15 pips lower and have a small profit on the first entry or wait for a double bottom and buy the second time at 1.9770. The makret then rallies up 20 pips.

The next 4 hour stat low is how most work, you buy right here and the market explodes up close to 30 pips. It double bottoms here again with confirmation from the FX Multimap (Divergence is when you have a similar low or lower low but the FX Multimap is less weak). The second trade pops up 20 pips straight up.

In this example of the GBP/USD the market sets up for a buy around 3am EST and the market goes up 50+ pips. It comes close to the 4 hour stat low at 10am EST, you could take that trade once the market breaks out of consolidation. The market shoots up a quick 45 pips!

Then at 10:40am EST you get short at the 4 hour stat high and the market falls 15+ pips. System potential 110 pips this day!

In this example of the EUR/USD the Euro hits the 4 Hour Statistical Low just a few minutes after our Trend Reversal Buy Signal. You buy at 1.3432 which is also the Daily Pivot Point. This strategy finds the absolute low and the Euro then proceeds to rally straight up 70 pips!

I like to add new tools and strategies to our base systems as time goes on so as not to overwhelm new traders. In this chart I've added our Trend Channel, a fantastic tool we were taught by one of our traders who has 24 years experience trading foreign currencies.

It shows the slope of the trend and is the white lines sloping up to the right. You can usually safely short the upper quartile and buy the lower quartile and this tool SHOWS LONGER TERM TREND. Because it is sloping UP and not down, you are safer looking for BUY signals vs selling, but keep in mind this is the fourth day of the uptrend so sell signals also worked great today.

The first trade you sell at the 4 hour statistical high, its safer a few minutes later as the FX Multimap loses strength at the double top. The market then falls 20 pips and finds support at the previous days high. The second sell signal is near the top of our trend channel (this is not a 4 hour stat trade) but we have a trend reversal sell signal so we get short and the market falls 50+ pips!

Where does the market stall at? Right at our 4 hour stat low! You buy here knowing the longer term trend is up. It gives you 3 signals and 3 chances to catch 10 to 20 pips each!

The last buy signal is also at the 4 hour stat low and the FX Multimap is less weak than before but since the market has fallen OUT of the trend channel we suggest taking a small profit as the market may reverse soon.
