This was our second week in the Training room for The Gold Method Ichimoku. I need to thank those who took part and for all their hard work and effort this week. With the various news events we were meeting at different times and looking at different market conditions Working with you guys was an absolute pleasure and I look forward to continuing our relationship, so you achieve your goal of becoming Professional traders. Here are the quick Stats for our 4 days together: 1 winning trade 1 losing trade Pips won: 30.9 Pips Lost: -26 Here is a day by day breakdown: Monday: We had a very Nice Type 1 trade set-up which unfortunately did not trigger till 1:11 pm GMT (9:11 am edt) which is outside our trading hours. The trade had a drawdown of only 8 pips with a pip potential of 126. Tuesday: We did not meet. However, the traders provided their set-ups with the consensus being that GBPNZD was the best Type 1 trade. That trade generated 93 pips with a drawdown of a mere 3 pips. Wednesday: We took a GBPCAD Breakout trade that failed for -26. pips. Thursday: We took a MA trade which most traders, myself included, netted between 30 and 37 Pips. Friday: No trade.
For the week, since I risk 2% per trade, I ended the week with a 1% gain.
As discussed before the training room ended, trading during the U.S. Session would have generated a significantly greater %gain. Specifically, the GBPMZD trade on Monday would have closed for a 6% gain and there were 2 MA trades (1 winner and 1 loser) that would have netted 4%. So, the opportunity for a 11% week was there.
