Hello pircj,
I promised to post the results of my trading sniperforex since 14 April. It works out at 24 pts a day, 20 pts per trade (92 days/112 trades).
I mentioned in a previous post that I had been looking for a system to help 'hold my hand' while learning the basics of technical analysis, trading etc. I've tried quite a few systems – I think most I've come across are scams.
I noted the results on the sniperforex website and I thought I would see if I could replicate these levels of results. There's quite a few systems out there promising very impressive results, but when you get down to it you realize that they're a con. With sniper, I've tried a few variations and still do, but I've decided throughout this period to stick to the system as Gary recommends – GBP/USD on 60 mins. During this time, I can say that the results I've come up with, while not the same as on the website, are not far off. The results are good enough for me to carry on - i.e. trading exactly as the rules.
Out of 112 trades, 56 were wins, 56 losses. Some of the wins were quite impressive - 374, 270, 470, 240 and 195 pts. But there's also the losses. Some people may become a little despondent faced with 4 or 5 successive losses. Throughout this period, the results have certainly not been 'uniform' – during June I was averaging 75 pts a day, whereas during July I was only just in positive territory. So it's certainly a system for the long run. As far as I can see, sniper does exactly 'what it says on the tin.'
As I mentioned in a previous post, I take out 2 trades each time, scalp on one and exit the other when the system dictates. I've just started trading GBP/JPY with Sniper. I've obviously only got a few results so far, but I think it is even more important with this pair to have the same approach – I've seen some huge profits disappear.
I must point out – perhaps it's possible to question how statistically significant is a list of 112 trades. Obviously, it's all I've got. If there's anyone else out there who can give us any other figures, please do. Also, throughout this period, there have a few trades missed – I've tried to calculate as best as possible where the trade would have been entered.
That's good – I set an 80 pt scalp on this morning's GBP/JPY long – it's just gone through!
Bye,
