IMPORTANT: Not opened positions per our system rules are to be cancelled at 4:00 pm EDT
These are instructions you must remember before entering you signals.
Profit levels for each pair are: Eur/Usd40 pips, Usd/Chf & Gbp/Usd70 pips.
System will trade a maximum of two positions (one long and one short entry) for each pair on a daily basis, disregarding previous trade outcome. If after entering a first position, then if market reverses and price hits our contrarian entry level we will exit the first trade and enter a second trade all at once, for the opposite side.
Immediately after entering positions a profit target order and a stop loss order will be placed at appropriate levels.
First stop loss level for any position, will always be the opposite level for the position being held. If we enter long, then our first stop loss level will be placed exactly at the short entry level for that pair, and vice versa. We will place convenient stop orders at stop loss and profit levels immediately after a new position has been taken.
Trades alerted by BuyForexSignals.com may have three exit points:
• Profit Exit
• Stop loss exit (Taking some small loss or Breakeven)
• Time based exit
If price moves to the winning side a certain amount, then we will move the stop loss level to break even; for EUR/USD after a 15 pips movement set your stop loss to breakeven, for USD/CHF and GBP/USD after a 30 pips movement set your stop loss at breakeven. If any of our exit levels is not hit during the day, we will exit any open position at 5:00 pm EST (New York Time).
As trading always involves risk, we highly suggest to trade safely following strict money management rules. Paper trade until feeling comfortable

These orders do not make any sense to me as you buy high and sell lower... You should contact that company and ask for clarification....

[maurizio77]

I don't think these are entries and exits for each pair...they are just entries.
ie. GBP/JPY
BUY @ 131.25 (If price reaches this point enter long)
SELL @ 131.02 (If price reaches this point enter short)

It's a bounceback strategy, sort of trying to cover all the angles.....seems a tad dodgy to me....ESPECIALLY as there is a time deadline where you have to pull out of any open trades regardless of whether price has made back all of the ground possibly lost should the price have retraced in the first trade.

The exit strategy is worked out by the pip targets and stop loss control.



This is risky if you ask me...better to learn a system yourself than to trust others with your money.......I don't go in for signals as i think it's a short-cut to learning.....but each to their own......i wish you every success

Thanks for that Maurizio77

With proper money management, straddling can be very profitable. Buy high, sell higher and sell low, sell lower also does work. There is no right or wrong way to trade as there are so many different variations. The key is money management. Without money management, any system is useless

Christo, why don't you post a couple of these tips when you get them and we can demo them and see if it works?

If you get a couple of people involved, you can then get a better idea of weather to trust these with real money or not.

Just a suggestion.

Christo: are these tips free or is it a service one has to subscribe to? If free I would be willing to demo for a month or two.
