Amazing to see that #Blackwave California turned a profit with GBPCHF. The little engine that could! Blackave Algarve is where most of the money is now and we're at about 3% so far for the month. Calm and patient trading taking account of the widening ATR across many pairs.

After 5 years and $265K in profit withdrawn Blackwave Pacific has “failed” as a result of the recent extreme moves in the Pound vs my strategy. Still the original deposit was $5k and people doubted it roughly once per month for five years until they were eventually “correct”. God speed, Blackwave Pacific changed my life, built school yards and bought Portuguese property and was a major cash cow.

The managed accounts also failed though withdrawals were several million dollars higher than deposits by the time they did fail. This is not a business for the faint hearted but in an industry famous for smoke and mirrors the only honest thing to do was have my own skin in the game.

We begin again with renewed confidence and will fund Blackwave Algarve not with $5K but this time wth €150K and a number of safety amendments. PM me if you’re brave enough.

By Wednesday Blackwave Algarve will be funded with €157K. That completes deposits in the short term.

I am writing to you with some sort of explanation. The speed of the move was incredible. Firstly the Pound found itself at its lowest level since 1985 by Friday close. On Sunday night within about two minutes the market dropped from circa 1.06 down to the mid 1.01’s in likely thin liquidity at the open of the asian session. A type of Brexit move. I lost $450K along with you even though I had begun to hedge the exposure, it simply wasn’t enough to cope with a move of that magnitude.

As you know the strategy is to buy into oversold markets which GBPCHF already was when I began back at 1.17 a full 15,500 pips higher. I’ve been trading fairly successfully since 2017 and I have never witnessed anything like this so closing trades with a 35% loss didn’t occur to me last week. If you think back we’ve had a fair few 35% DD’s and as was sometimes pointed out to me if I closed everything every time I had a troublesome DD I would have had nothing left years ago. At that point the strategy was to cut one of the biggest losers and use the second basket to eat the DD in GBPCHF.


I am devastated for us all and it's taken me a few days to even begin to write this email. The position sizes will now drop a little and likely hedging will begin at 35%-40% with the hedge paid for by normal trading profit and regular withdrawals too when back to cash. Without those regular withdrawals I would have no plan B. In effect withdrawals ARE a stop loss. I will begin again primarily for myself. It did work extraordinarily well for many years. I don't want to be one of those guys who loses money then disappears.

Difficult few days with no let up in selling. When we had our EURGBP DD the currency pair at least moved relatively slowly but the speed of this Sterling move coupled with the higher position sizes (though recently reduced) left no shelter given the magnitude of the move. The strategy as you know is counter-trend, buy into oversold pairs and sell into overbought pairs. When I bought GBPCHF in the 1.17's it was already oversold weekly. Now this market is trading more than a 1000 pips lower than that. There is talk of an emergency interest rate hike by the BoE next week but who's to say if that will help of if it will be seen as a sign of weakness by markets. The Swiss National Bank said only yesterday that they were willing to intervene in the forex markets to weaken the Franc and yet today the Franc strengthened even more and they did nothing. Perhaps between the SNB and the BoE combined actions MAY take place next week. I am profoundly sorry that we have all lost money here. I lost $66K, some lost less but some lost much more. As you know most of my (Blackwave's) money is in the medium risk Blackwave Pacific and I plan to shore that account up in the next few days if this relentless Sterling selling continues. I plan to try and ride out this extraordinary move and then make withdrawals when it's over. I appreciate that some people are throwing around emotions here tonight. You are entitled to & that's fair enough. For my part I sill have over $400K in the market and the game continues next week managing my money and for those who are still in Pacific and California. Finally I called the company Blackwave because in retrospect we can all see the waves on the graph and the plan was to ride the waves. Tricky endeavor in the ocean and not much easier in markets. Nevertheless this $GBPCHF market will turn. We all know this.

Perfect time to revive this beast of a review:
“ After 1 year I've unsubscribed despite Gary's good performance so far that I still hope will continue and Gary and this signal be doing good however here are the reasons I believe this signal will be a failure: 1) the claim that the risk is approximately 35% is not true for 2 reasons, we have already seen the drawdown has gone to 48% and the stop loss hasn't been taken for whatever reason. Also when there is such drawdown a simple market gap can destroy the account therefore this signal is a time bomb I believe. 2) I have come to believe, by months/years of back testing, that Grid Trading in general although looks profitable, is absolutely wrong and will certainly, without doubt, destroy the account one day no matter how small the lot sizing and how large the distance between trades, risking the whole capital to gain small wins. One mistake will destroy the account. It's gambling. The truth is there is no price level that is too high or too low for the market so there must always be a stop loss never exceeding 3% of the account. 3) Grid Trading is torturous, watching your account reaching high drawdown for weeks and months while praying your account doesn't blow up! 4) The performance figures on MQL are fake, they miscalculate and don't take into account the many deposits and withdrawals properly so the true performance of the signal is manipulated. 5) Good safe traders risk 1% per trade and enter only trades with potentially 5:1 reward potential and let the profits run - the only safe way to make money consistently - it's hard to master this way of trading, it's why most people grid trade. It's a joyful way of trading watching your profits grow rather than watching your losses grow So if you love yourself and your capital, stay away from anyone who does Grid or Martingale Trading which is a disease in this society. It's easily identifiable by looking at the chart if it's continuously going up. Good luck!” Glad I didn’t get back in after the EURGBP mess.

Hi Coronabeats. I notice my name on mql5 is the same as the one in my birth certificate. Is yours?
Gary Comey
Gary Comey 2022.09.30
Coronabeats… or can I just call you C, I don’t do martingale. C even including the disaster that account still made over $100K in a few years. Sorry if you lost, sorry if anyone did. I began in 2015 with $5K C, I will begin again with €200K. Think about that C. Enjoy anonymity C/ keyboard warrior.

1. With the Pound so beaten down across the board will the #BoE rate decision cause further weakness or is it a case of sell the pound and buy it again after the rate decision. Is this scenario mirrored by the #CHF. Buy it before the rate decision and sell it afterwards.

2. I think anyone who tells you they know the answer is speaking from emotion. They would own the world if they knew. Trading is a head game. Most traders defeat themselves in spite of technical or fundamental analysis and all the "expert" option from staff at investment banks.

3. Trading strategies are built to cover scenarios that are emotional so that you don't have to think much in the moment. You just execute the strategy, therefore I will do that. The company is called #blackwave because it swing trades the waves on a grid with a soft SL.

4. We've seen that in action this week. It's not nice to acknowledge the trade has gone too far against you but not to acknowledge it is not clear thinking. We don't stand in front of a train saying "I don't believe in trains". :-) We execute the strategy. We must be nimble.

5. In November 2021 I amended the strategy following a prolonged DD in $EURGBP with negative SWAPS. Attached is the Blackwave Strategy. As I said, we write these things down so we are not headless chickens in the moment.

Morning. I’m employing my “November Strategy” here namely using about half of this mornings profits to take a loss in the biggest $GBPCHF position. Therefore average entry improves for $GBPCHF, safety increases while cash still goes up. Our carry trade continues to earn too.

As the first position was opened more than a month ago I won’t wait any longer to begin employing the November strategy. Positive SWAPS definitely make this trade more comfortable but it won’t save me shaving a few points off the average if I can increase cash simultaneously.

I've taken the biggest #GBPCHF loser off across the board in all of the IC Markets accounts. Arguably I didn't have to, however we are at those "soft stop" levels where I feel action is required. Also added another #GBPCHF position at the 1.10. New average entry circa 1.1414.

More Russia gas worries weighing on our positions though keep in mind the positive SWAPS situation. The longer this goes on without a major deterioration in an already deeply oversold #GBPCHF the more the odds move in our direction due to the carry trade.
Gary Comey

Slightly disappointing end to the week but the weekly candle is a doji and #GBPCHF may be looking to form a meaningful bottom by 1.13. In the meantime we collect positive SWAPS. Given the tight range doing less is more. #skininthegame Blackwavetrader.com

When the market gives us progress and then takes it away it’s time to breath and remember that your trading system has a positive expectancy and to focus on trading well and let the money be a consequence of that. We’ve had two spectacular months so this now is unsurprising.

GBPCHF is a carry trade, which is to say the longer it goes on the more positive SWAPS we accumulate, far different from the negative carry trade we extricated ourselves from with $EURGBP in March.

Finally, I would of course rather push a button and get instant profit but older clients will know my patience is an asset here. I’m not playing Fortnight 🙂, it’s a serious business and I’m happy with the swing trade.

$GBPCHF prospects improved off very oversold levels. Former daily support in the 1.1530’s is now resistance. Anyway let’s not count chickens. Our position size is how we control risk and then we just need the patience to let markets get on with what they do.

Yes Alex you are not the only one. A guy also contacted me on Twitter. Unfortunately I don’t usually have $85K to deposit but was simply carrying out what I said I’d do a few weeks ago on this forum. Sorry that some people were affected. I wonder will I disconnect from Mql5 next April and allow subscribers to join the managed accounts at IC Markets. Anyway I will think about it.

Also I beg to differ on the “already large DD”. Expect 35% DD’s in that account a few times per year.

Thanks Gary! Yes high risk here is totally understandable and acceptable. It's just some limitations/caveats of the MQL signal copy technology. No, please keep your signal on - it's one of the top 5 for me. And it's good idea to allow people choosing their own brokers. It would a big loss if you gone.

Cash higher again though $GBPCHF has not been an instant profit which is more normal than the reverse. So far about 1.5% for August in medium risk but it's only August 5th. Planning to bring #Blackwave Pacific up to about $400K next week. #skininthegame

A good two months & we’re at 100% cash so we can physically touch it 😉….if we want. Over 11% for Alpine and over 8% for #Blackwave Pacific on top of June’s performance. I will be adding more money to Pacific in the next week. Trading resumes on Monday Blackwavetrader.com
Gary Comey
Gary Comey
4.5% for the week, 7.5% for the month so far in Pacific, higher again for Alpine. This month is looking like as good as last month. Satisfied but not complacent. Not looking for much of a DD into month end. #skininthegame Blackwavetrader.com

$EURUSD back above parity but in a tight range. The correlation between the buck and the S&P500 seems tight. Nervous markets = $SPX ⬇️ = Dollar ⬆️. We squeaked out a 1% gain after using a little of the profit to reduce $EURUSD exposure. #Blackwave Pacific 2.85% in July so far.

Gary Comey
$GBPCHF, $EURUSD off the lows, $GBPCHF is currently profitable though I'm not ready yet to accept this profit. Another 20-40 pips might change my mind depending on the market. I'm sure there's plenty of calls for $EURUSD parity. Maybe, maybe not. We trade the plan. #skininthegame

June best month in a few years and I was hoping to be at cash by month end but not to be. Just trading the strategy however there’s been plenty of downside to $GBPCHF. That’s fine. Position size is correct. Wash, rinse, repeat and we wait. I have to manage risk. That’s my job,

Evening all. Some success with EURUSD and USDJPY during the week. Just GBPCHF open now and the SWAPS are positive so good. Looks like about 2.5% for the week and around $10% for June with a few days to go. Trading from Portugal next week. Boa noite. blackwavetrader.com

The week of the Central Bank. Almost 4% for the week and 7% for June so far. Now that EURGBP is closed I feel like a pilot who has been flying on one engine but now has two again. So much so I stopped trading and played tennis to "calm the jets".

Useful volatility in EURUSD, USDJPY and to cap it all off the SNB did another poor job of communicating it's intentions and raised rates (sort of). Bought EURCHF after the shock and closed for profit this evening. Stay grounded. #skininthegame http://blackwavetrader.com

Done for the week. Shame I got out or $EURJPY so soon because with the equity market getting hammered the Yen is having a strong day given it's close correlation to risk. I bought another 2K shares of $CS at the market just now for Blue Wave. June 2.8% so far for Blackwave.
