Trend Snapback Forex Trading System
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. 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 particularly trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real tradingresults.”



Our Trend Snapback Trading System works because of the following.

1. Trades with the longer term trend after a short term pullback.
2. Uses Volatility based trailing stops which are designed to minimize losses and maximize opportunities.
3. Has a high winning percentage because it takes advantage of where traders have their positions. It knows that losing traders are likely to exit their losing trades where we are getting in. This means that the markets don't typically move much against us after we've entered. In one backtest I did even with a 4 pip stop the system was still 46% winning!
4. We suggest using our ratcheting system on choppy days and our normal 3 ATR stop on trend days to catch the 40+ pip moves.

Example #1: Trend is down so we sell short term up move at resistance.

The trend snapback sell signal shows up around 1705, the stop is automatically calculated based on current volatility. Because the makret had been in a downtrend and had already fallen 70 pips we adjust the ratchet feature to tighten the stop once it moves 5 ATRs in our way. Once our first profit objective is hit we TIGHTEN THE STOP and lock in the profit! This example is perfect as we have the 95% Hourly Statistical High right above us and that contains price as expected. The ratchet trailing stop catches the majority of the move and the market also finds resistance at the Pivot Point.

Here's another example of our Trend Snapback Forex Trading System. The key behind this strategy is it trades in the direction of the trend on a pullback against the longer term trend. The first trade goes short and our customized Chandelier volatility based trailing stop does a great job of locking in most of the move, catching 12 pips. It then goes long and the market rallies up to the Daily Pivot point and the stop catches 24 pips. The third buy catches about 8 pips. Total pips for the day 44 pips!

Here's another great example and why the Trend Snapback Forex Trading System is so consistent. It is designed to take small losses when wrong and big wins when right. In this example we buy the short term pullback because the longer term trend is up. The trailing stop keeps us in this trade and we catch 68 pips!

In the next trade we get short and the market stops us out with only a 6 pip loss. The next trade we buy the dip and it catches 13 pips. 75 Total Pips for the Day!

In our backtesting this strategy is 68 to 72% winning with the average winning trade being 2.4X bigger than the average loser. This is a trend following system that trades in the direction of the longer term trend and momentum on short term pullbacks. Some days the market trends and this system catches 50 to 80+ pip gains. On choppy days it tends to lose no more than 10 pips and make no more than 20 pips.

We teach our traders to filter these trades with the heat map and longer term daily and weekly trends. We also suggest not taking trades right before major news announcements. Using a little bit of common sense and our heat map which shows how strong/weak the currencies are you will get a feel for which trades aren't likely to workout or make many pips. Most of our traders also use this strategy in conjunction with our other methods such as if there is a buy signal but the average hourly low is 10 pips lower they will wait for that level and then get in with increased confidence and make more pips when the market reverses.

In this example of the Trend Snapback you get a buy signal with the added benefit of price being on the lower keltner channel. The FX Multimap confirms this trade, the market was stronger on previous up moves than it was on this short term down move. You buy at 1.2235 and the market trends straight up and our chandelier trailing ratchet stop locks in a 40 pip profit.
