A 10-Week Streak of Profits

By John Doe

Hi everyone, there are three places that I consider home; New York where I actually live, Singapore where I feel at home the second that I land, and here in the Bahamas where I actually have a second home that I visit a few times a year. This week, I closed up shop early after making 100 pips in three trading days, trading from the Sunday open to Wednesday morning. This capped off a 10-week streak where I used zip to win nine out of the last 10 trading weeks for a total of 1126 pips of profits. Now I’m celebrating the end of summer with my kids here and ready to grab a frozen pina colada. So let’s take a look at some picks and then some trades.

Okay, so I closed up the week early on Wednesday. We made a hundred pips by Wednesday; a slow and steady gain. Let’s scroll up to Sunday night when we typically begin our Asia trade. I trade the Asia session and the New York session so there’s something for everyone and there’s different opportunities in both of those times. Last week, we made 203 pips, which was really good. But this week, first we sold dollar yen and we went long euro dollars. As usual, I gave the reasons why and then I tightened the stop to I might on Monday. We really didn’t get that much in pipage; it wasn’t really that fruitful in the New York session. A series of other trades, basically selling euros, selling euro cad, and you can see that there’s some really nice clean zip trades like an Aussie kiwi, euro kiwi also have forming a zip. I also added some positions and eventually gave you the reasons why one trade wasn’t working out so we closed it and then we banked profits in euro kiwi and euro cad actually hit target two. We exited a little early but the euro cad trade, this one where we sold euro cad, that was not a classic zip trade but a very strong opinion. It was below the indicator line hit target. Euro kiwi was a cleaner zip trade and that also ended up hitting target. But we got out a little early on that as well. Euro cad hit target, cad yen, euro kiwi trades also hit target.

Then we get to the next trading day where we start the Asia session going along kiwi swiss yen, shorting swiss yen and going long kiwi cad. That was with a pop in the Asia session in kiwi dollar, and I thought that there was going to be continuation as a result of that because kiwi was in the zip buy zone. So that’s why we went long kiwi dollar and we also went long kiwi cad because there was a double zip buy signal and went short swiss yen. Then we had a dollar yen’s zip cell signal as well so taking game all the reasons why kiwi cad hit profit targets really early which was very nice. That was before I went to bed in the Asia session held their positions overnight lower. This was the end stop. Swiss yen did it get stopped out but kiwi dollar hit target so overall between the three trades we did have two out of three winners which is what we want to get and then on Tuesday with a series of long trades a series of trades in the North American session dollar swiss aussie kiwi. These were really nice classic zip cell signals in dollar swiss and also aussie kiwi sell signals. Euro dollar had a really nice buy signal and it was because we had strong eurozone data German labor market numbers beat eurozone CPI was the strongest strong unexpected German rate was highest in 13 years. I always provide fundamental and technical reasons for our trades and we ended up banking profits on quite a few of them and dollar yen this was the North American session we added a short dollar yen trade. So a lot of trades here but they all tend to they all basically worked out pretty well. We had a cash swiss hit target on Tuesday night and these trades add up when you have the zip cells zip signals combined with fundamentals you can see that these are all real trades and yeah that’s how we got to 100 pips there’s a bit more trading that would like because not farm payrolls week tends to be a little wonky it was also the end of the month and we typically have a period where there may be a lot of consolidation and very little continuation but even with that said in three trading days we hit our profit target and that added to our string of winners where we won nine out of the last 10 weeks for some nice consistent steady gains in our zip trade signals.
