About the Strategy

This is my own trading system, developed from many years of experience with Forex and financial markets. The strategy combines my market analysis and trading decisions with automated trade management. I currently trade several liquid CFD instruments, including XAUUSD, US30, DE40, USTEC and others, depending on market conditions. My focus is on finding suitable market conditions, managing trades systematically and controlling overall risk.

My Trading Journey

In 2012, I came across an article about Forex. Until then, I knew practically nothing about Forex or how this market worked. The article made me curious, so I started researching what Forex was and how people actually traded it. That was the beginning of my Forex journey. In January 2013, I joined Forex Factory, and I have also been using Myfxbook for many years.The strategy I use today did not appear overnight. I spent years testing different strategies, indicators, trading methods, Expert Advisors and money management ideas. Some worked well, some failed, and some only worked in certain market conditions. There were profitable periods, losing periods and many mistakes. Over time, I became less interested in finding the "perfect" indicator and more interested in understanding how a complete trading system behaves. This eventually led to the system I use today.

Human + Automation

This is not a fully manual system and not a fully autonomous EA. I make the market analysis and decide when conditions are suitable for an initial entry. The first position is opened manually using my custom MT5 trading panel. After that, the panel automatically manages the trade according to predefined rules.

It can:

• add additional positions;

• manage the Grid;

• adjust position sizes;

• manage the whole basket;

• close positions according to the trading rules.

In simple terms:

Human = market analysis and initial decision.

Panel/EA = automated trade management.

Grid + Light Martingale

The strategy uses a combination of Grid trading and a light Martingale approach. The Grid can contain up to 6 positions. If the market moves against the initial position, the system can add positions according to predefined rules. Position size can increase gradually, but this is not a classic Martingale with simple doubling after every loss. The main risk is that a strong one-way market move can create larger exposure and floating losses. Therefore, I pay close attention to Equity Drawdown, margin usage and total exposure.

Trade Duration and Broker Choice

Many trades are relatively short, so broker conditions are important. I recommend a broker with fast execution, low latency, low and stable spreads, good liquidity and reliable trading servers. Subscriber results can differ from the main account because of spread, slippage, execution price, server location and other broker conditions.

Daily Trading Reports

I publish daily trading reports showing the actual results of the trading account. The reports are generated automatically by a separate MT5 statistics EA that I developed.

They include:

• number of trades;

• Win Rate;

• Profit Factor;

• Expectancy;

• Equity Drawdown;

• margin usage;

• results by instrument;

• total exposure;

• other trading statistics.

I prefer showing real numbers rather than simply saying that the strategy is good.

How I Evaluate the Strategy

I don't judge the system by one profitable day. I pay attention to Profit Factor, Expectancy, Win Rate, Equity Drawdown, margin usage, total exposure and long-term stability. For me, the real test is how the system behaves over hundreds or thousands of trades and through different market conditions.

---

Risk

This is not a low-risk or conservative strategy. Grid and light Martingale can increase exposure when the market moves against the initial position. A strong and prolonged one-way move can therefore cause significant floating losses and drawdown. There is no guarantee of profit, and past results do not guarantee future results. Anyone copying this strategy should understand the risks and use only money they can afford to lose.

---

Transparency

I believe real trading results are more important than promises. I publish daily statistics showing both profitable and difficult periods. The goal is not to show only the best results, but to give a realistic picture of how the strategy performs over a large number of trades and different market conditions.

Final Note

This system is the result of many years of interest in financial markets, testing, mistakes, learning and development. I don't know what the market will do tomorrow. Nobody does. What I can do is follow my rules, manage the system and continue learning from the results.

If you decide to subscribe to my signal, thank you for your trust. I will do my best to manage the strategy responsibly and keep the results transparent.
