Many thanks and also to Kenito
So, just to double check myself...I am using Alpari US. I don't think I have to adjust anything for BST. Correct?
Yes.
The last time the clocks changed we had a sticky period, maybe losses on the first day or two. But I think the signal is clear enough today to trust the system is right. It usually is 70 to 90pc of the time, so stick to the rules!
Good luck guys

For those interested in long term performance.....
If you've got data going back a bit ( 2007 or before) - and you're concerned about poor performance in previous years (the dreaded when will it happen again) - put 'Volumes' on your daily chart and keep clicking '-' to zoom out view - you should see that the increased 'volume' has enhanced the performance of FMT (ie since 2008 -2009). IMHO the increased 'volume', 'volatility' , has made FMT what it is. I'm working on the idea that low volume, volatility in the Asian session reduces the reliability of FMT. If you look at the last few hours of Asia during Christmas , you'll see the reduced activity.
Possibility is a filter based on this low activity in the Asian session. It's kind of credible, low activity pre the signal time, will reduce the effectiveness of any signal.

Hi all,
I am currently using spread betting firm to trade Mark’s system. With IG Index there is the typical spread of 3 pips between ask and bid price, and this adds up to take a large percentage of your profit for example if you trade a 10,000 account and risk 2% and trade 16 times on average a month, the cost would be as follows:-
3 (spread) x 5 (amount per pip = 2 % risk) x 180 (trades per year) = £ 2,700
Does anyone know a cheaper way to trade Mark’s system?
Just to confirm that FMT now starts at 07:30GMT? I missed the change over, but still got my 30 pips today.
Jacques => it's still 6h30UK time, an then you have to adjust it with your broker time 😉
Ex. on alpari uk 6h30uk = 7h30 (gmt+1), but not on all brokers 😉
