Performance and Risk Management

What is the logic behind the Managed Forex Systems?

This methodology focuses on a swing strategy which utilizes multiple time frames and multiple indicators to identify high probability trading opportunities. Targets depend on market conditions and are dynamically managed internally to produce anywhere from 10 pips to 100+ pips per trade, depending on which of the multiple trade entry techniques is executed. The strategy uses stop losses which are pre-set by the algorithms and then managed internally as required.

How do the Managed Forex Systems minimize risk?

Multiple loss reduction techniques and strictly defined leverage parameters are used to control and manage risk on every trade. We take risk management and capital preservation very seriously. Remember, we only get paid if we make profits for you.

Simply, there is volatility in active short term Forex trading. Drawdowns in your total account value at some point in time, perhaps even the day you start, is an absolutely normal part of short term active trading in the Forex market.

Risk Disclosure:
Past performance is not indicative of future results, as returns may vary according to market conditions. Trading in foreign exchange is speculative and may involve the loss of some or all of your principal. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you. While there is great potential for reward in Forex trading, there is also significant risk of loss; therefore, funds used for these systems should be risk capital funds that if lost will not significantly affect one's personal financial well being. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully consider your financial situation for suitability or discuss with a financial advisor prior to making any investment.
