08/04/07 July Results Overview |
|
Official numbers and results will be posted Monday or Tuesday with some lengthly explanations of what happend and what we are doing on our side.
With that said, it unfortunately looks like the EUR USD PAMM is down about 15% for July and the USD PAMM is down almost 20% for July.
I know this will come as a surprise or even shock to many but what is going on in the economy now is almost unprecedented. We will have lots more to report this coming week on our explanations as well as ways we have found to counter and take advantage of these new market conditions.

The pull EUR back from the recent highs has not worked in our favor in the latter part and end of this week.
Now to get really technical and with some detailed explanations of what is going on with our specific trading systems and how it is reacting to these market conditions as we recap this week.

07/27/07 Euro pull back puts us in draw down for the month |
|
As the Euro hit new highs earlier this week, our trading accounts hit new highs as well. But those new highs and excitement seem to be quickly dampend as the week progressed and worsened even today. I'm not sure exactly what the full story is yet but I know client accounts have all experienced a moderate draw down as of now with the Euro pulling back quickly and jumping around so much.
Our traders and system developers here are working hard and fast to decipher what has and is happening currently. It also seems some USD/CHF hedge positions did not kick in and FXCM is looking into correcting this as well.
After being up as much as 8% for the month, needless to say it is a little disappointing that we will likely be posting a loss for this month since we only have 2 trading days left in the month in which to use for a come back.
No worries, we are still up for the year and we honestly believe we still have one of the best if not THE best automated trading system out there.
We'll be posting more news and information as soon as we have it. So keep watching here throughout the weekend.

07/18/07 Systems take pro-EUR positions for more gains. June stands at 5.4% |
|
As the declining dollar trend continues, Cannon 25 is now favoring the EUR/USD paif 5 to 1 over the USD/CHF. Anymore anti-dollar news should push us farther into profits. Since I don't expect much favorable news for the dollar, we could see a few more percentage points added to this months gains before the trend/month is over. With that said, there are still no guarantees in the short term. Long term results should have us continuing to average 3-6%/month. As we're now up about 5.4% for the month in our USD FXCM PAMM, our systems continue to prove themselves capable of better than average returns with low monthly draw downs.
|
|
07/17/07 July up about 4.7% mid month |
|
July is up about 4.7% so far mid month over coming the two small draw downs in the two previous months. Open positions are pretty closely hedged with 3 USD/CHF and 4 EUR/USD positions as the Cannon 25 system waits for indications to see what direction the USD will move next. With almost 2 trading weeks left in the month there is still time to capture more gains and the current cushion may be enough for us to at least end the month on a positive note.

07/02/07 Dukascopy Update |
|
As many of you know, getting our trading systems working and automated with the Swiss brokerage firm Dukascopy has been some what challenging. After they changed their API completely last year and our Robot interface no longer worked, they agreed to trade accounts manually for us while alternative solutions were being pursued.
With no adequate solutions in place by May, we were forced to notify our Dukasopy clients that Dukasopy is no longer providing a service to manual trade accounts. Without an automated solution in place yet we are forced to discontinue trading at Dukascopy for now. We have other solutions with Dukascopy in the works but it will likely be at least 6 months or more before they are complete if they even come to completion.
If and when we do have a Dukascopy trading solution again we will be posting news of it here on our website again. For now FXCM will be our main and only FX Brokerage Firm we'll be working with.

07/02/07 Two flat months but all is fine. |
|
I know it has been over a month since the last time we posted a news item here but there really has not been too much to report. The past 2 months, May and June have just really been pretty choppy and flat months with no clear direction long enough for significant gains to be made.
If you have opened up an account with us 2 months ago I know you're wondering if you'll ever make money. But I assure you these flat times will not last forever. If you've opened an account with us last in the last 3-7 months you're sitting on as much as 80% profits in some cases. These people, knowing that there will be draw downs are looking at the last 2 months and being happy seeing such low draw downs and may be looking at putting more into their accounts.
As a matter of fact, our lead strategy developers here has been waiting for such a time like this so he can add more funds to his trading account.

Explanations of above table
The difference in performances here are mainly due to
leverage and different data feeds. FXCM EUR uses slightly less leverage
than FXCM USD and should always show 1%-2% more or less profit/loss
than the FXCM USD account. Dukascopy accounts are using a similar
leverage to FXCM EUR but use a different data feed. Over time the
results of all 3 trading accounts should be very similar.
