New Year New Forex Signals

January 2, 2008

Well it’s officially 2008. NASDAQ just tanked, oil hit $100 & poised to go higher, and Pakistan is in turmoil. Other than that, things couldn’t be better. My new year’s resolution is to try a new Forex Signal provider every other month and see which one will make me the richest faster (or perhaps poorest). Some of the Forex Signals I’d like to try out for myself include

  1. TEAM APHID’s Team Aphid Bird (TAB)
  2. 5Dimensions Forex System
  3. ProForexIndicator’s Cable Indicator System (CIS)
  4. ProForexIndicator’s Premier Indicators
  5. Jeff Park’s Octave
  6. ForexSoft’s Series of Indicators including GoldNStream

Now, if you have already tried any of these and they don’t work, please give me a heads up in the comments below, you’ll save me time. Otherwise, I’d really like to test the effectiveness of these various signals for myself, as some of them have good reviews, and some bad, but none all bad.

ProForexIndicator is an indicator service I am familiar with from a few months back, I wrote a blog post about my trial period with them, and it was profitable for the most part. But what struck me odd was I had profits on some days where they themselves reported losses, which didn’t exactly turn me off to the service, but make me question how I could read their signals one way (someone with not much Forex experience) and they read it another. This same company has also recently put out “PREMIER SIGNALS” for GBP/USD and USD/CHF, which are sent to your mobile and email. I already asked if this is based on their Cable Indicator System, they said no, it’s completely different. So, I know the Cable Indicator System is very effective, has some losses, but they are greatly eclipsed by it’s wins. I’m looking to see if the same goes for their new system as well, seeing as the past performance data shows they’ve made a considerable amount of pips over the past year. I am skeptical though about any backward testing, anything can be manipulated or sugar coated to squeeze in pips here and there, but I’m not saying this company is dishonest, there’s just no telling about the honesty of ANYONE’s statistics and revenue reports, just first hand knowledge. Stay tuned for full reports on this system.

Forex Signal Review Site

Another website I found useful, and it’s free (for the most part) is collective2.com, a site where forex indicators are reviewed in forward testing and with real money. Team Aphid is one of the premier signal providers. ForexProIndicator is not on this site at all, is that a bad thing though?

Collective2

Think of us as an independent “trading system auditor.” We’ll investigate which trading systems are profitable. Then you can set up your own personal hedge fund, and have trades placed automatically in your brokerage account. A growing number of brokers are C2-compatible: OptionsXPress, OpenECry, FXCM, Gain Capital, IFX, FuturesBetting, Interactive Brokers…

At first glance Collective2 seemed amazing, but it does have a lot of resemblances to ZuluTrade, which isn’t so great, especially the whole automatic trading functions. Will you ever wake up to an empty account? Who knows. You need to do the research yourself, but I will say that Collective2 does help you weed out some losing indicator services that you might not have the ability to do yourself. As you can see, December was an awful month for most indicators, it’s a tough month to make money in, especially with longer term trades, scalping is another story. Collective2 allows people to make comments about systems, but again, who knows whos saying what and if it’s true, I think we’ve run into this problem with some other Forex review sites.

    Forex Pro Indicators is A Scam Big Time! Don’t Trust Their Signals!!! Winners once ina while mixed in with many losing trades or non-trades. BEWARE!

    hey I think signals are great .. but if you combine great signals with great execution that means you won’t miss any opportunities. this is where a company like FX-Auto teams up with companies like FXCM, FXDD, and SystemRunner to give folks an opportunity to have access to a library of signals at a nominal cost and have it traded automatically, with various levels of money management.

    Collective 2, while good, can’t compare.

    I also have used Forex Pro Indicators, they definitely call out some winners! THere’s always losers with any system, don’t be bitter because you get into their system during some losing periods.

    TEAM APHID BIRD ROCKS!!!

    Since November 2005 (until today), we had maximum 4 consecutive losses twice on EURUSD between Nov. 29th - Nov. 30th, 2005 and Dec 20th - Dec 22nd, 2006 (we don’t trade in second
    half of December due to low volatility conditions for Christmas holiday period, so we didn’t have the second drawdown live).

    We had maximum 5 consecutive losses twice on GBPUSD between Sep. 15th - Sep. 18th, 2006 and Feb 28th - Mar 1st, 2007.

    We had maximum 9 consecutive losses twice on EURJPY between Dec. 30th, 2005 - Jan. 3rd, 2006 (again Christmas holiday period) and Mar 17th - Mar 21st, 2006 (March 2006 monthly
    result is 522 pips in spite of 9 consecutive losses). The number of second maximum consecutive losses for EURJPY is 4.

    Please check our winning ratio for each currency pair. Consolidated winning ratio for all three currencies is 53.5%. Therefore, especially when there is a sideway move around our signal
    levels, we may have successive losses during the month, but because our system’s good risk-reward ratio, a full profit from 4 exits will compensate many successive losses, so please be
    patient and evaluate our system on monthly basis. Trading foreign currency is very risky and is not suitable for everyone.

Got something to say?
