Introduction
Many are carried away by the euphoria always peddled online that Forex
trading brings the highest and quickest profits in comparison to other
markets such as Stock and metal.
But many are still victorious in this market. What then is their secrets?
Its been said that 95% of traders makes loses in the Forex market and
only 5% make profit continuously.
I see Forex as a game and in every game there is a winning and loosing
parts to the game but your greatest objective is to have greater winning
than loosing.

The market is open 24 hours a day, five and a half days a week, and
currencies are traded worldwide in the major financial centers of
London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris
and Sydney—across almost every time zone. This means that when the
trading day in the U.S. ends, the forex market begins anew in Tokyo and
Hong Kong. As such, the forex market can be extremely active any time
of the day, with price quotes changing constantly. (Source: investopedia)
In summary people engage in Forex trading for the huge profit potential
in forex trading with little capital outlay.
The problem is that many traders come with the misguided hope of
making a gazillion bucks, but in reality, they lack the discipline required
for really learning the art of trading.
If you take the above very serious and you could learn more about Forex
trading then i can boldly say you can get rich in trading Forex and be
even richer than you can imagine because the Forex market is very liquid
and there is more to go round.

Forex trading has a large potential to make any one very rich within a
very short period it has high return potential to any experienced trader.
As the return can be said to be high so also is the attendant risk.
You must be aware of the risk and be willing to accept them in order to
invest in the forex exchange market.
Brokers always give the warning that you must not trade with money you
cannot afford to loss and that you may loss all your capital in the process
of trading. This is just for you to accept the fact that nevertheless you
are still agreeing to trade in the forex market despite the attendant
risk.
Always have the mind that there are two possibilities when you place a
trade – gain or loss.
But the greatest thing I love about Forex trading is that there are
strategies to reduce our loss in this business and this is what we refer to
as Money management.
I am sorry to say this that many of us traders are very poor at money
management hence the spate of losses in this market.
Leverage allows you to trade in the Forex market with little amount
taking advantage of Brokers funds.
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt

Leverage can be very subtle in the sense that most Broker give you the
opportunity to high leverage with just little personal fund but the risk
element in the market remain same. Taking this confidence many novice
trader takes higher risk with little margin and when the market moves
against them they can’t continue because their margin would have been
wiped away leaving them with nothing to go back to trade another time.
Over leveraging will place you in the defeated traders position always.
I tell new traders doing demo trading to learn trading with the amount
they desired to fund their account with. There is no sense in knowing
that you have only $1000 to trade and you demo trade with $100,000 so
when you fund your account you hardly can trade profitably because you
are used to trading big fake fund.
Also with $100 in your funded account I will advice you don’t go beyond
.01 - .03 lot that is nano lot size and with $1000 you don’t exceed .05 - .1
lot. This is common sense that keeps you long in the market.
Another deception in this market is the Brokers Bonus. Many Brokers will
always advertise Deposit Bonuses such as 10-100 percent of Deposit
Bonus but underlying this Bonuses are conditions that will cripple your
account when trades goes against you.
The deception of forex bonus is that it gives you a false confidence that
you have much funds in your trading account and that you take more risk
thereby exposing you to market risk.
Whenever the market goes against you and your equity is depleting the
broker will always remove their fund from your balance and then what
you have may not be able to carry the risk through. The Brokers will
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
8|Page
never allow their fund to be at risk, your money goes first whenever the
market goes against you.
But if you have your fund in your account without any deposit bonus you
will be more careful never to over leverage your trade because you know
that your account will never survive over leveraging of your account.

Note: I believe you have known the basic forex trading terminologies and
principles which are available everywhere online.
If you are new to Forex trading, you can learn these basics and principles
from any of the following sites:
- Babypips.com
- Forex military school (https://bit.ly/fxcollege1)
Let’s go on please.
There are only two kinds of traders i. Winners and ii. Losers
We stated earlier that 95% of traders are loosers in the forex trading
and only 5% are profitable consistently and for a long time.
Many traders even including myself were once losers in this market and
we lost our early trading capital in the first 3 months or less.
I had many looses because of over confidence, greed and gain mentality
but I have learnt how to handle these now hence the reason for this
publication.
To me its like going to a war and in this war front there are two
possibilities- Kill or Be Killed
There are no friends in this warfare so you must know what it will take to
stay alive and come back with your life intact.
This game or war called forex requires you to garner trading plans and
strategies to take this market.

Every day you open your computer to trade you must be conscious that
you are going for a war and you must make up your mind to come back
victorious no matter the course of events in the war.
The market is full of participants that are very intimidating they include
– the big boys who are market leaders because they have large capital
base to trade while you also have the Brokers that will take your money
when you loss. Somebody is always ready to take money from you in this
market.
In the page on strategy I will be giving you a system I have seen so
workable in every market situation. I have over 200 trading system in my
computer but I have narrowed my strategy to only 1 because forex
trading system is not what takes this market. Just one system that is
properly utilize will make you a winner in this market. Stop running about
looking for systems. Learn how to take this market and you will be glad
you did.
Kill or Be Killed - The war mentality
For you to be said to have won in this market it means you have taken
money from somebody else. Let’s assume you funded your account with
$1,000.00 and within some months it grew to $10,000.00 – the $9,000.00
is the evidence of your winning has collected money from others.
I remember some of my winning in this market after a long time of
losses. I deposited $427.5 into my trading account and within 2 months
plus my account grew into $18,162.31 somebody will say wao! (If you wish
to see that trade result I can make it available to you. Just send an email
to fxtutorng@gmail.com)
This was when I realized that the Forex market is a war zone and I
developed strategy to take the market headlong.
You will have to struggle for pips on the market against the smartest
professionals and banks.

Formulate a Combat Strategy
As a trader you must always be aware that with each trade you are
standing against the opinions and beliefs of others and they could
be right and you wrong. Therefore, we must prepare for battle.
You must have a trading plan.
Many trading systems have:
- Trade set up
- Strategies of entering
- Strategy for exiting
- Strategy of money management
You must always put the above into focus as you are about to take any
trade even if you are trading Naked ie without the use of indicators,
there are trade set ups to consider and also the strategy to enter to buy
or sell and also how do you want to exit the trade.
Forex Warfare Stand Point
Your stand point in taking any trade should be based on:
1. Capital Preservation
2. Capital Acquisition
3. Capital Appreciation
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
14 | P a g e
Don’t take risky low probabilistic trades because you are already trading
the highest risky market in the world – Forex.
If the enemy doesn’t come to your territory you don’t need to fight let
your primary goal of trading be stay alive in the game for a longer time.
Always take conservative, repetitable trades and take profits, that is
why i stated earlier that you should avoid trading during high impact
news time because its like adding risk to an already risky venture.
2. Capital Acquisition: you must always desire to add to your capital by
taking little profits here and there. You can’t get all the pips in the
market but you must bank little profits. If you become too greedy and
wants to take all the pips you may end up getting nothing at the end of
the day. I see Forex like a petty thief who pilfed little by little because
when you over saddle your bag you may be caught by the owner of the
ware. This business is all about a little here and a little there until it
becomes a whole.
We trade to make money not to pride ourselves in the fact that we are
traders. A 10-20 pips in a trade is good enough than waiting for 100pips
and above in a trade that may never come. Many of us are all scalpers in
the Forex market.
We must also learn to harvest pips as the trades go in our favor and in a
powerful trending market using the tool of trailing stop loss. Our system
in this article uses this pips harvesting strategy a lot.
Although we did not deal extensively on Trailing stop loss in this report I
encourage you to make more research on this theme and your trading will
be more success.
Adding some pips to your equity should be the upper thing in your heart
as you enter any trade.

Many traders are looking for systems that will promise them 100
pips in a trade, well I am not disputing this but the possibility is
always very slim in the Forex market taking into consideration the
limiting factors working against traders in this market. When you
are busy waiting for 100 pips I would have gotten maybe 10 trades
that have given me 10 pips each and accumulate to 100 pips and you
are still waiting for 100 pips in a trade and you may risk loosing such
trade.
My take is that 10 pips in a trade can make you very wealthy in the
long run.
What we are looking for is a system that can be repetitive in the
long run thus making us consistent profits in money.
Someone may say that is more like scalping the market – yes I have
come to realise that many of us traders thrift on being scalpers
because we take advantage of little movement in the market to
garner little profits.
Note each forex pair and trading system have their different
challenges day by day but we aim at consistency.
Many successful traders trained themselves to take only 10 pips in
the market daily. All they do is increase their lot size as their
profits grows. I know it will take discipline to go for 10 pips a day in
the market but you are in the market to make consistent profits
and not to risk your money to looking for 100 pips which may never
come.

Most often if you see that a particular trade can afford you more than
10 pips all you need to do is move your trade to break even above your 10
pips position that is if you understand how to use your stop loss
technique very well.
I will be giving you 3 trading strategies in this report that can give you
between 10 – 30 pips daily but for consistency and quick profiting stay
with the 10 pips plan. You can either make it 10 pips per day or 10 pips
per trade. The decision is all yours but 10 pips daily will afford You the
opportunity to do some other things than only trading.
I have seen lots of traders that takes just 10 pips daily and they are in
profits and are making great profits daily. What they do is just to put in
place proper money management.
See below what 10 pips can result into in a year starting with just $500
at the end of a year the trader may have as much as $107,000 plus in
this example we assumed you started from 1st April to March of the next
year. The secret is taking 10 pips and increasing the lots as your profits
progress.

6. This system can work for all forex pairs but I admire using it for
the JPY pairs such as GBPJPY, EURJPY and USDJPY. Since I use
the JPY pairs I always hunt for Brokers that permit small spread
for these pairs.
7. This system is traced to Luminous and kreslik.com and it was
popular in 2009 on kreslik forum. (This forum inspired me greatly to
love trading forex without using any indicator) Carlos made the
system very popular and showed how it can be a great Forex
strategy.
I will encourage you to forget every other systems and focus on this
trading system. It has the possibility to give you between 50 – 100pips
daily.
TRADE SET UP
Look at the Daily open and draw a horizontal line (WHITE LINE).
Draw a horizontal (BLUE LINE) +20 pips ABOVE the daily open for
BUY ZONE.
Draw a horizontal (RED LINE) -20 pips BELOW the daily open for
SELL ZONE.

The problem with Forex Market is that at very first minute of the day you
don't know for sure (most of the time), where price will go - up or down
for the day.
The line in MAGENTA is the Stop Loss for SELL setup while the line in
CYAN is the Stop Loss for BUY setup.
Trading The System
This system uses the Straddling strategy where we open two pending
orders to Buy and to Sell.
After the market opens at 7am Australian Time we will set 2 pending
orders – Buy Stop Order at the Buy Zone and Sell Stop Order at the Sell
Zone as the market moves to any of the directions it will trigger the trade
on it’s way. If it moves upward it will trigger our Buy stop order and put us
into Buy in this case we have to close the Pending Sell Stop order so we
are not hedged in the market.
Also if the market decides to move downward our Sell stop order is
triggered therefore we have to close our Buy stop order so we are not
hedged in the market.
Every time price touches the daily opening price we place two orders
1. Pending Buy stop Order at the Buy Zone line and also
Exiting Strategy
We ride the market to profit. We need to have a take profit point you can
take 30 – 50 Pips as your take Profit. In most case what we do for a very
trending market is to harvest the pips using trailing stop order. We move
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
26 | P a g e
our profit to break even when the market moves 25 Pips in our direction
and continue to move our stop loss by 35 pips until we are stopped out.
Our exit is at take profit or harvesting pips.
Stop Loss
Note also that if a trade goes against us we are stopped out by the stop
loss point. Our stop loss is 50Pips on both directions. Our buy trade stop
loss is located – 10 pips below the Sell zone while the Stop loss for Sell is
located +10 pips above the Buy Zone.
Remember to always set your stop loss position for every trade except
when you move stop loss to harvest the trade.
Buy Trading
If the Pending Buy stop order is triggered the market takes me into Buy
then i will close the Pending Sell Stop order.
If the trade goes in my favour i will let it move till it takes my take
profit but if the Buy trade goes against me and move downward i will let
it take my stop loss which is -50 pips that is the line below the Sell Zone.
Sell Trading
If the Pending Sell order is triggered the market takes me into Sell then
i will close the Pending Buy Stop order.
If the trade goes in my favor i will let it move till it takes my take profit
but if the Sell trade goes against me and move upward i will let it take my
stop loss which is -50 pips that is the line above the Buy Zone.
Exiting Plans
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
27 | P a g e
Note: only one trade is allowed per time on a pair no room for trade
hedging that is why the opposite pending not triggered must be closed so
we don't have an hedged trade.

the majority of traders and are not using a stop loss as a part of dynamic
trade management.
So how can you use stop-loss smartly? Your initial stop loss must evolve
into a dynamic trailing stop-loss as your trade turns profitable.
Traders often make use of trailing stops to lock in profits and harvest
more pips while minimizing their risk.

Trade Examples:
Example One:
In this case our sell entry triggered first so we close our pending buy Stop
Order. Look how the price flew after entry triggered but still can’t hit the
SL and it dropped for a maximum of 90 pips.
Then market went up and I will wait for it to visit the daily open again. I
called this daily open as our ZERO point. When this happened I put another
pending order on Buy Zone and Sell Zone. My buy entry triggered and could
take a maximum of 70 pips. Then my ZERO point visited again and sell entry
triggered and dropped for another 71 pips. The 4th trade is a loss. Buy
entry triggered but hit SL. 5th trade possibly collect another 30 pips. 6th
trade another loss and the last trade dropped for another 23 pips.

This system is one of the price action trading systems that I love so
much. It is possible daily to make real profit using the Forex trapped
system to trade. It is called trapped system because its like setting a
trap for a prey at the two likely direction the market will move to. The
market either move upward (BUY) or go down (SELL). So we prepare to
take the trade on any direction it moves to.
I will be glad to explain further how this system can be used: This
system is based on straddling the market.
Straddling simply means that we are able to place 2 trades on buy and
sell with the hope that one of the positions will be triggered.
Take Profit in view: You just go for only 50 pips. You can take two trades
the first target 20 pips and second take 30 pips.
Someone may look at the chart and say why not 100 pips? Well, note that
gunning for small pips will keep you trading for long in profits and they
are realistic but hoping for a bigger pip will most often make good trades
go bad.

Condition 4 above can only be possible during a ranging market which may
never be the case. But in all, this trading system is promising.
Note:
You can do lots of back test and see that this system is 90% accurate.

Just follow the instructions below and you too can become profitable in
the Forex Market.
The above is the reason why the term Holy Grail is considered a myth as
most forex traders are looking for system of trading in the forex
market without Heavy risk.
By the time you're through with this trading system, you will begin to
trade with ease and not with pressure.
Before reading any further please know that this forex trading system
requires discipline, and faith. Never close a position before the target is
reached.
For this system we use the Pending order system ie order for a future
time not market order which is entering the market at the present
market rate
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
37 | P a g e
- Buy Stop Order: This is an order to place buy at a price that is higher
than the present market price. Example the market price of EURUSD
now is 1.2345 I wish to enter to buy at a higher price say 1.1285 ie 45
pips price away
- Sell Stop Order: This is an order to place Sell at a price that is lower
than the present market price. Example the market price for EURUSD
now is 1.2345 I wish to enter to sell at a lower price say 1.1200 ie minus
45 pips price away.
The forex market moves in trends, the trend can be bullish (upward),
bearish (downward) or Horizontal (sideways). This approach of trading
does not care which direction the price wants to move; it is more
concerned about making a minimum of 40 pips per day from the forex
market.
When using this forex system, the concept is - your success is not in
the number of forex pips you make but in the volume you entered with.
Pick the vertical line from the tool bar and demarcate the previous day
from the present day make sure the line shows the present day's first
candlestick at 00:00 Hours.

- Click show period separator and you now have your 00 hours’ vertical
line, ok it and close
Pick the horizontal line from the tool bar and divide the first candle of
the present day into two. Call this line; line X
Count 40pips above line X and draw another horizontal line exactly 40
pips above line X and call this line; line X1.
Count another 40 pips above line X1 and draw your horizontal line X2
exactly 40pips above line X1.
Count 40pips below line X and draw a horizontal line exactly 40 pips
below line X, call this line; line X3.
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
39 | P a g e
Count another 40 pips below line X3 and draw a horizontal line exactly
40pips below line X3 call it line X4
Explanation
Line X is the starting point, allow price to dance between line X1 and X3
until it picks its direction for the day.
Set your buy stop on line X1's price value, your take profit must be at
line X2, stop loss must be at line X4.
Set your sell stop on line X3's price value, your take profit must be at
line X4, stop loss must be at line X2.
- Price could trigger your buy order and hit your take profit of 40 pips.
- Price could trigger your sell order and hit your take profit of 40 pips.
How to Win the War Called Forex Trading – Without losing your Shirt
40 | P a g e
- Price could trigger both your buy order and your sell order; hit both
take profit zones, giving you a profit of 80 pips.
- Price could hit your buy order and not reach your take profit, come
back downwards 80 pips to hit your sell order and give you a loss of 80
pips.
- Price could hit your sell order and not reach your take profit, come
back upwards 80 pips to hit your buy order and give you a loss of 80 pips.
With this system, you can catch 40 pips out of every 81 pips price
movement no matter the direction it goes. But let's just say 90 pips to
be on the safe side.
Once the direction has started these pairs find it difficult moving 80
pips in the opposite direction in the same day.
If you will use this system you need to rule out greed.
Below is the blue print for entering positions when using this system;
The Forex account below started with 400USD and after 15 Trades
became 4,440USD.

power.
The above blue print does not guarantee that you'll win 15 Trades
consecutively; it is a guide to help you when entering positions.

Observe the Line each of the line is 40pips away from each other. Our
Buy order was triggered on the 10 am candle stick at point 1.3377, the
trade went in our favor and took our take profit at point 1.1417 giving us
our 40 pips for the day. After we took profit we reset the trade. So we
did not have a sell trade at this first trading opportunity. In line with our
position above that we can reset the trade using our take profit candle
as our starting point.
Happy Trading
