Blue Zone

Blue Zone is a pip-ripping, bank-draining monster when it’s in the right hands.  Many Blue Zone trades stop out at break even.  In fact, the majority of these trades will stop out at break-even, but we’re not fishing for Guppies.  We’re fishing for Marlin!  Blue Zone has a proven track record of catching 1,000+ pip moves.  One of these moves, which is well documented with videos, grabbed over 4,000 pips between September 2007 and March 2008.  We experienced several break-even trades before hooking this MONSTER move!  When the smoke cleared and the trend ended, we had experienced a massive 120% equity increase on that single trade with a 3% risk.  That risk was reduced to ZERO after a few trading days.

The Blue Zone system depends on once-per-day moves of the stop loss.  There is no target.  All trades stop out naturally when the system rules for exit have been met.  Blue Zone depends on several strategies that I have developed over the years.  We use FK-1 to quickly reduce risk, we scale-in to trades when appropriate and we use Sentinel orders when we stop out prematurely, before break-even has been met.  This all seems like a lot of work, but Blue Zone is a very low maintenance trading system.  You’ll receive trade management calls at the end of each trading day detailing the new stop loss level, the FK-1 orders and Sentinel orders in the rare occasion that they are needed.

If you are interested In making equity increases instead of hyper-active trading, Blue Zone may be exactly what you are looking for.  Many traders who have mastered Blue Zone will trade no other system.

Helix

Helix trades are posted during the EOD Window.  These trades have a very high success rate, but do tend to have larger stop losses.  Helix trades are trend following trades.  They happen very infrequently (approximately 7 per year per pair).  The stop loss sizes are modest compared to the winners.  Stop losses are about 100 – 150 pips.  No target is posted, as I am looking for certain criteria to exit the trade.  I want to exit Helix trades when the trend is over.  The average winner for EURUSD is 1,500 pips.  You can expect Helix trades to remain open for a number of weeks or months.

Reaper

Reaper trades are taken from the 4 hour chart and will be triggered only on a 4H candle close.  The system looks for high probability setups with either a 1.5:1 or a 2:1  Reward to Risk Ratio.  These trades are taken from EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, USDCAD and AUDJPY.  Typical stop loss sizes are 25 – 75 pips.  Reaper entries are designed for a smaller stop loss than the price action would normally provide, so quite a few of these pending orders never get filled.  The system has an expectation of about 45-55 pips depending on the pair.
