What’s Your Hourly Rate as a Forex Trader?
What’s important to you? Just money? Your time? How about freedom? Many successful Forex traders that I personally know spend many hours every day looking at charts, trying to identify a trade setup. This is fine if you really love staring at a computer screen all day. It makes me wonder, however, why these same people left the corporate world to trade. Some of them certainly made more money with a 9-5 job than they do as currency traders. So basically, they have traded one mediocre job (with predictable hours, salary, and benefits) for another mediorce job with many more predictable hours, no guaranteed pay and absolutely no benefits.
I think that I provide TRUE Set and Forget Forex Signals. These trades don’t have a target, but they do normally offer traders seferal days to exit at a similar price to my exit. Acutally, getting in and out late usually makes better money with my signals than I do. I have a set of strict rules that I follow whether I want to or not, so my results are not sterilized. They’re just damned good, and consistent across all market conditions year after year.
My time is important to me. My freedom is important to me. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE my money and have a strong money “edge” to my personality. But I’m not willing to stare at a chart all day to get it, and I don’t think that you should either.
My clients spent approximately two hours trading my Helix signals since May 6 2010. During that time, my clients achieved a REAL 38% equity increase. If I factor in the open trades, that number goes up to a 48.25% equity increase. This is all verifiable by reviewing my live results at MyFXBook. Let’s take a hypothetical trader with a $10,000.00 account trading my signals at my recommended 1:1 leverage.
$10,000.00 * 48 = $4,800.00
$4,800.00 / 2 hours = $2,400.00 per hour.
What was your hourly rate with your last forex signal provider? How much does your current provider pay you? Is it less than $2,400.00 per hour? I bet it is! Think about it. Even with a $1,000.00 micro account, my signals paid my subscribers $240.00 per hour. They did this without stress, without worrying about closing trades over hte weekend, and without sacrificing vacations, children’s events, and family get-togethers.
How’s that for a job?
