Update: 19 Jan 2017:
Please see signal description for details as well:
I have included another EurUsd system along side with the original system. Now there are two systems independently trading in this account. Here are the details for new system:
- It trades from H1 chart.
- SL of aprox. 20 pips with aprox. 72 pips TP. (Makes 1:3 risk:reward potential)
- Trades less frequently due to filters as it needs volume & push in a certain direction before it opens trade on H1 candle close.
- Risk is set at 5% per trade.
Note: I have back tested this system for few years individually and the draw down presented by this system is very reasonable with very impressive performance. I will upload the screenshots for results very soon.

Hello,
I have stopped trading due to U.S. Fed rate decision today. Trading will resume after the high impact news to avoid unwanted volatility. Cheers !

He alreay withdrawn 32,000 CAD from this trading account, do you think he cares for what happened to his subscribers? Losing 3000+ CAD doesn't mean anything to him, think about it people. Don't be too ignorant

Dear Usman, on 22.09.2016 cca 140.000 USD of subscriber's money had been burned within a few seconds. Could we get a short explanation, why has it happened? The DD was 64% so it was not as high to activate an automatic close of the open trades on the signal account. Were the open trades closed manually? If yes, what was the motivation for that?

Most of the signs in MQL5 start signal and then the owner will pull the belt and break all subscribers!
The good is to turn for own account studar study and study and study to learn to trade the hard way!
Account Management or copy signals in MQL5 the guys will always pull the carpet in the end!
account management is not eternal will come a day that the guy will fuck you!
For this USMAN the guy're not even there with subscribers!
He has won many USD with assinates half life of the sign when he had more than 200 assinates paying him more than 20 USD to month!
In other words he took his capital 10,000% more subscribers only!
I hope you all recover their money because I also already lost and I know how painful it is!

Pound Aussie system: With this system, we do not close trades because the basket has a TP trailed behind it and on any rebound we will come out. FOMC tomorrow and the USD should start getting some strength back today although FEDs gave a hint through their speeches that there will be no rate hike at this Sep meeting but if USD gain some momentum today and uncertainty kicks in then GBPAUD should rebound based on risk off sentiment. Let's wait. thanks.

He open and open new positions with higher size every time, and is clear downtrend. I am selling GBP AUD from 1,75 and is arriving son to 1,69.
And he never uses any SL, his strategy is not wise.

Update 23 May 2016:
I have done much work over the weekend and decided to stay away from GBP pairs due to upcoming Brexit vote on 23 June and hence not trading gbp/aud for now. In the mean time we will start by trading eur/usd & aud/usd pairs. The distance b/w the trades will not be fixed and it will be automatically increased or decreased by the system based on volatility so in a volatile market conditions, it will auto increase the distance based on ATR. Another important shift is that the trade direction to buy or sell will be based on trend for the pair. This will keep us with the momentum most of the time. This is the best that can be done at this time.
Please don't ask questions related to how is this achieved. Let's make some money together. We will look at gbp after 23 june Brexit vote. Until then it is extremely risky.
thank you.

Trades basket closed with $500 cad profit. approx. 6% return. DO not want to risk holding through the weekend because any news related to brexit can gap up or down on sunday open. Will work on the weekend to see how the system can be made stable and better. I see that a lot of subscribers mentioned that it's too risky but the thing that you can not discount is the fact that we were afloat even with a 1000 pips move against us and experienced a 56.95% DD so we were no where close to blowing out the account. 1000 pips moves do not come every day and we know that even if we leave everything as is, we can still absorb the shock in the future.
But I will still want to make it more stable. stay tuned. For those of you who are not comfortable with the grid with a blend of martingale, I have introduce London Hawk system. Where you only need small balance, every trade has max of 50 pips or less SL, trailing TP and BE+, trades 1-3 trades per London session, no trades on Monday and flat going into the weekend and on top of that you don't need much leverage. This is the ultimate scenario that any subscriber can ask for. check it out.

need to work on risk management... that DD was too big, could have margin called many smaller accounts. position should have been stopped out weeks ago when it broke the first bull flag on the move up. good (lucky) recovery but I want to see a new risk management assessment posted before i continue subscribing.

Usman, please try to tweak the system, the risk reward is not justifiable. I am looking forward to your changes and re-joining the signal.

hang on tight and we shall hit the TP sooner than later. Wold markets were all to the upside in the asain and London session and NY is also to the upside. It should help gbp/aud come down further due to RISK ON sentiment in the markets.

Not for the first time you write about the fact that the system withstood the movement in 1000 points... But that doesn't merit your system ! It's just luck ! Almost a month to hold positions in the market and almost drained the account and be glad that you earned 6% THIS is SO dumb !
Usman, be a man and admit that it's just luck ! And recognize that after you introduced the changes and expanded the grid., your system has stopped working !
Cancel the signal and return the money for the subscription. Since we signed up initially for another system !
And you start to experiment with our money !
Do not do it !
You are not a man !
And in fact the liar !

Don't panic and sit tight and watch the price come your way after a massive run up retracement should follow and in the works. Brexit has started making headlines again and this is how the market are always reminded by smart money. If we are able to absorb a close to 1000 pips move against us and still floating, we can make it.

I never said Usman is no good. If not, I won't have stick to the signal until today and managed to recover most of my equity. But having a huge drawdown is not what I have anticipated. I just hope that Usman can modify the plan to prevent that from happening. That's what he claimed (low drawdown) in his intro.

@jashv703 and @MichaelOurednik, if you know that there is a flavour of Martingale involved and you do not like this, why do you subscribe anyway? Maybe there was some luck involved, but profitable and professional traders tend to have more luck than those who loose money constantly.... There is no free lunch in this world....definitively not in trading forex. Relatively huge DDs are to be expected since we all trade with leverages of 1:500.... If it was 1:1, nobody at this platform would be interested to trade forex... Wish you all a nice and exiting weekend.
Usman Maqbool
Subscribers,
I read all comments and still here. I hear ya all and in the same boat. I was made very clear that these type of systems have the tendency to experience DD and sometimes massive DDs. This time we are experiencing close to 1000 pips DD which is huge but on the other hand we are still in the game which is equally important. I notice that a lot of people mention direct hedging all the time but it does not do much other than a temporary peace of mind. No one has the recipe to where we will break the hedge or close the buy side and than the sell side and make a gain or better yet a breakeven. Brexit is around the corner and in my opinion soon market will switch focus towards uncertainty in UK for upcoming BREXIT vote and it is normally very bearish for the currency and UK central bank is doing what it is suppose to do to support the GBP at time because they know it will decline in upcoming weeks. Now after 5 weeks of massive upward move GBP/AUD should retrace first and I will try my level best to save the boat during that time. There is not much that can be done at this time and I am holding on to the basket.
And for the above reason, I have introduced London Hawk where we are in and out the same day with predefined SL and not accumulated trades in a basket and also always flat going into the weekend and don't need bigger accounts and leverage to trade.
All I can suggest at this time is to sit tight. thank you for your patience.

@Traderbaer: How can you lose much money if all positions are still open?!
Patrick Burns
2016.05.20
Is it not the case that certain events are factored into the market, for example, the Fed Reserve increasing interest rates late 2015, after a long period of expectation that it will occur? Isn't the rise of sterling the last few weeks nothing more than this? As you say, we may be entering a period of reversal of sterling's gains as we near 23rd June.
As for the actual result of the referendum, my personal view is that the people of The UK plc would never have been given this vote if there was any chance the outcome could be what the establishment doesn't want. I will be voting out, but the result will be to stay in.

London Hawk is now live:
https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/194095
At this stage the system looks for trades during London session.
- The leverage is 200:1
- Starting balance of my account is $500. CAD
- Max trades if triggered will be between 1 to 3 per session.
- Every trade has SL, TP with Breakeven and trailing stop feature.
- Normally the trade will last for 1 hour to 3 hours.
- Each trade will be set to 0.10
- No trade for Mondays due to lack of action at the start of the week.
Each trade size will be 0.10 (10,000 units of currency). If you want to lower your risk, please adjust your percentage of deposit participation to lower than 95% in signal settings.
Important: check the box where it says in signal settings "copy SL & TP" to YES to make sure that SL & TP are copied with the trade. Also if your leverage is lower than 200:1 then expect your trade lot size much lower than mine. There is not much that I can do there.
More important: Do not expect every day of the week to be profitable as there will be down days too. Look at the returns on monthly basis.

the gbpusd short is taken to in an attempt to cross hedge some of the exposure. GBPAUD bought / GBPUSD short = AUD short and USD bought. Again this is done on a best effort basis with a SL. we might hit SL on GBPUSD and book a loss but the idea is with today's US FOMC minutes , USD is gaining strength. GBPAUD is gaining strength because of the risk off sentiment that if US to hike rate, it's bearish for stock markets and what kind of uncertainty it will bring to the rest of the world economy??/ what if upcoming June rate hike from US slows down global growth. ?????. we will need to stick with the GBPAUD buy trade basket and wait for the price to retrace. there is nothing much that can be done at this point.

Hello Subscribers,
First of all I want to thank you for your patience as we are now trading with bit higher distance between the trades which will have the trades basket takes bit longer to close but it will yield higher profits per trade basket because the TP will be higher for individual trades or the trade basket as a whole. This is in an attempt to reduce the DD/volatility and also in preparation for the upcoming brexit vote in June. I suggest to look at your profits on monthly basis rather than daily or even weekly. We will return to our normal trading conditions after the brexit vote.
In the mean time, I will soon begin testing/practicing London & NY breakout semi automatic strategy and the results will be shared to may be open a separate signal for that to compliment our existing system.
Be wise and don't get frustrated and jump between different systems otherwise you will reduce your chance of winning.
Regards
Usman

Hi Usman. I have a similar strategy. But I trade on the EUR / USD. The most important thing with a strong bezotkaton trend - is to accept the loss and move on. I myself set the bar for a loss of 15%. The main thing to observe it and not to deviate from the rules. Here is a look - https://www.mql5.com/ru/signals/148869

Watch out for possible up-bounce on slow EMA in H1 and H4. Course will likely not go up or down before the slow EMA of H1 has reached the course. Why do you think the uo-trend of GBP/AUD is finished?
Usman Maqbool
2016.05.03
with this system we do not look for trends.
100 pips gap between trades have a lot of room for the price to move back and forth and keep booking profit. it is not price direction dependent.
