AUD/CAD trade setup based on Techs & fundamentals: (Wise with your money because the risk is yours)
This is a manual trade setup for those who like to trade other pairs as well. Please don't trade in your signal account.
I am in before the daily close today because I am confident due to price action setup.
SL = 0.9890 (my SL is tight)
TP = open , first target is 1.0060
My entry = 0.9924
Normal entry should be 0.9960 (after daily close today)

Hi Usman, - great to see an active and succesfull trader discussing with the subscribers. I have one question Usman, which i, - so far - cannot find an answer to ... What is the difference between your free signal, and the payed one ?

2016.03.06
pmks - Thank you for your comments. There is no difference but as you might know that demo vs real price feeds are normally bit different and for that reason buys & sells can be triggered at different levels which makes the trades and results bit different. cheers !

RBA rate on hold. Low inflation may provide scope for easier policy
The decline in Australia's terms of trade has continued.- Available information suggests that the expansion in the non-mining parts of the economy strengthened during 2015 despite the contraction in spending in mining investment. - This was reflected in improved labour market conditions. - The pace of lending to businesses also picked up.

Your system looks good although it's martingale. I am using EA myself as well. I think the best results are achieved by combining EA with a human input and oversight

Just want to make a point here.
A lot of investors were saying that you should only take sell signals for GBPAUD because GBP was tanking and now we see that GBP/AUD retracing up from oversold area. Markets always do that and it never goes in one direction forever. So the idea is to keep the risk low by having lower initial lot size and ride the DD and come out with a gain upon retracement/pullbacks. If we were to stay in the buy basket till today, we would come out with a massive profit. For this reason I will keep the initial lot size at 0.02 even if the account goes to $7k.
thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

I know a lot of people might not agree with me on this one but the ideal way to win in this zero sum game especially with grids are to have a bigger account and very very small initial lot size and leave it alone without even cutting the loss and leting it run. As the TP is trailed behind the price and eventually you will comeout with booking a profit even with massive counter trend trade basket becasue markets never move in one direction without any pullbacks or retracements. (just my 2 cents).

I totally agree with you Usman, I have noticed this and had lots of losses purely because you could not some times predict market volatility and most of the losses are due to margin calls , so if you have bigger account and use small lots sizes which gives a very huge buffer during volatility and huge swings and thus the losses are minimised and gains consolidated.
Most of the traders lose money because of smaller account sizes.
I have made some great signals and EAs will be soon in the market so please check them out.

With brexit to last for few months and increasing volatility, I will keep the initial lot size at 0.02 even with the growth.

Trades basket is closed to limit any further losses. We will come back after the dust settle and tonight is inflation hearing report from UK - if UK goes with dovish view about inflation and economy then GBP will sink further. It is better to stay away for now. No one wants to book losses but this is the nature of the game. Risk vs reward. We will be back on track and recover the loss in the coming weeks. thank you for your understanding.

Although its Martingale, it is a watched Martingale with the author deciding which way to trade and managing in times of draw down. I like this signal and the genuine responsive author

I'm a believer in this signal. Having said that, what happened yesterday scared me not because we lost money. That happens. But how we went about the trading. Usman, you're very good at predicting the general trend of pair. Whether using the SBB or whatever, what you do works because of your prediction, and coupled to the martingale. Last night you knew the BREXIT occurred "pound is getting pounded- we will stay flat for now." But for some reason instead of thinking that this pair (more likely than not) is going to decrease, you put it in the buy direction. Your response to Robert was confusing because you do directional grids all the time. You base them off the 30 day bands and analysis. That's why your signal is the best. To recognize this pair was going to take a hit, then going in the other direction doesnt make sense to me.
I'm also worried that after you then closed the basket last night bc the pair might drift down further, this morning you reopened the system buying the pair. No one is saying that it needs to be right all the time- the martingale allows us to profit even in the face of imperfection. But we have to use everything available to predict as best as possible the overall trend. Do you really think this is gonna go in the buy direction? If not, why dont we just have it in the sell direction?

Dominic - I appreciate your comments. Th eproblem is that gbp/aud is already too stretched to the downside and in oversold condition. If we look at fundamentals beyond the Brexit, UK central bank is still the second central bank in line with a possibility of rate hikes in the future and even if the central bank hints to reduce asset purcahse facility this year without the rate hike, GBP will rebound. Opening a directional grid (sellside) at this point has less chance of success then the buy side. Even if we get stuck in buy grid , it won't be massive downside and basket can book TP level on any decent retracement. Rightnow as I write our TP is only 56 pips away with only three small positions and it should hit TP very soon here.

Please do not send individual messages regarding the current trades basket and DD as it would be too many message to reply with the same answers. Please follow the news feed here as it is visible to everyone and most people will get the answers. Do not panic. It's high risk high reward venture and I will try my best to close the basket as soon as possible. hold on tight and don't mess with the trades. thanks

I don't subscribe to this signal, but surely reducing the lot size and running it on two separate charts, one long and one short would mean some money is taken during drawdown. It may settle the nervous amongst the subscribers.

Guys - The table is for reference only. This would apply only if I start a new account and setup the initial lot size. Investors subscribing the signals through MQL have no control over setting the lot size themselves because it is automatically set by MQL5 system based on master signal balance VS Investor's balance and the leverage of the two accounts. (which is conservative and better).

I closed the basket of three trades few mins ago becasue it is apprent from daily candlestick close that GBP will most likely to move up against the AUD and it is also backed by AUD negative employment numebrs from yesterday. At leaset this is what I am reading.
Read:
On 15 Feb bears were able to take control and crashed price on daily candle below the the MBB(middle bollinger band, the aka 20 days SMA) after successfully knocking it down for previous 5 days at MBB. This was mainly due to breaish flag breakdown on GBP/USD. GBP/AUD continued the down move for the next two days but when UK CPI and employment numbers did not excite the markets GBP was depressed up until yesterday when AUD employment numbers disappointed the market and GBP bulls took control from the bears and pushed the gbp/aud up. There is still a bear pressure as seen by today daily candle top wick (hair) but bulls were able to pull the price back up from LBB and I thought rather than running three sell trades we are better off with 1 buy trade. Now I will leave the system alone and trade. Thanks

Important when setting up the signal settings:
A lot investors think that settings showing on one of the snapshots somewhere down in my news feed is the one that we are using. The answer is NO becasue it was show for something else.
Here are the setting for our system:
%age of deposit = 95% (recommended because I won't suggest to trade any other system, signal or manual trades in this account. Open a different account for everything else)
Slippage = 5
Stop if equity is less than = 0 (this is important becasue you don't want to mess with trade basket).

Idea: I know we don't trade this pair in our system but for manual shorts AUD/CAD short will gather pace based on strong CAD overall and if it can break the major support zone of 9750 - 9739 . (Be wise, it's your own risk). Most times fx markets act funny !
