Intro
Greetings and Welcome to our Blog,
The First Strike Trader and First Strike Signals are two of the most compelling signal products available today in global currency trading. Both systems are derived from our signature trading approach, the First Strike Counter Trend Trading methodology.
The First Strike Trader is a more passive trade replicator model, that clients can easily plug into and effectively mirror their own accounts to our Master Trading Account.
First Strike Signals is the more active trading version, providing world class entries and stops to our clients all around the world. This is delivered in a basic web version, as well as advanced versions that will make it much easier for the active trader to engage.
Lets look at each product individually, beginning with the First Strike Trader.
First Strike Trader
Overview
Overview
The First Strike Trader is a cutting edge, Global Currency Wealth Platform.
After four years of running one of the most successful live trade rooms ever, client demand became very high for a simpler, more hands free approach to our uniquely consistent system.
The First Strike Trader provides clients a nearly passive solution allowing the average trader/investor with limited experience to virtually mirror our highly trained Master Traders, and trade the Forex market professionally. It is a simple plug and play solution, allowing clients to easily sync their own accounts directly to our corporate Master Trading Account.
The client is welcome to use any MT4 Forex Broker they prefer. Once they have their Fx account opened, it generally takes about 20 minutes to sync their personal account into the First Strike Trader. No software download is required. Alternatively, our technology partner can assist in the FST set up for $22, which is credited to the client's first payment if they decide to move forward at the end of their trial period.
The First Strike Trader is neither a robot, a black box, or an algorithm. All of our trades are created and placed by our Master Traders, and then managed through our internal trade management software. We are 'human based, and software assisted'.
In addition to our goal of generating compelling returns for our clients, we are constantly striving to keep account drawdowns down to an absolute minimum. We do this through very careful money and trade management strategies. As a result, we feel our return to drawdown ratios are among the best in the industry.
Trade Methodology
With the First Strike Trader, we employ a very unique trading approach....that we call the First Strike Counter Trend methodology.
It means that we strike first at the moment a significant trend changes.
As traders, we are.... 'All in, & we scale out'.
We place pending orders....Buy Limits & Sell Limits only.
Advanced trade and risk management strategies are used to exit with multiple profit targets, while also moving stops to reduce the overall trade risk, and protect any accumulated profits.
We do our best to avoid major news announcements that can affect the specific pairs we are trading, as that often creates a stressed, volatile and unpredictable market.
We simply trade Raw Price Action, which can go back 1 month, or 1, 5, 10, or 15 years.
We also use the occasional Fibonacci as a type of a market tape measure, which can help to further justify and corroborate our trades.
That's it. Raw Price Action, & Fibonacci. We trade with probably the cleanest, simplest charts in the world.
Interestingly, we generally have anywhere from 300 to 400 buy and sell trades ready to go on the 8 currency pairs we trade, that we will take in the next 12 hours....or.... 24 months, as long as they do not trigger during a major news announcement.
How is it that we are so historically consistent?
In essence we feel we have figured out where the big players... the banks, governments and hedge funds... put their financial fences so to speak. We then trade these areas with incredibly tight stops, with the goal of limiting potential drawdowns to smooth our growth curve and protect account capital.
We believe that the First Strike Counter Trend trading methodology is built upon a very solid and consistent foundation. For example....what are the odds....that all these big players (the Banks, Governments & Hedge Funds etc.) would suddenly and simultaneously all switch to another trading methodology, essentially abandoning relying on historical price action that literally goes back months, years, and decades? What other methodology would there be for them to transition to, that would work similarly as well?
Our point exactly. It is in fact highly unlikely that they will all change their time honored approach of raw price action trading. Looking through the historical accuracy of our system is another clue to this of course. Few trading systems in the world have come close to this level of historical accuracy, and the return to drawdown ratios that are generated.
Yes, the market will continue to gyrate and stress at times as it always has....but in our experienced opinion....the closer you are able to trade to the 'core' of it, the less likely you are to be shaken out.

Demand has been extremely high for our groundbreaking Global Currency Wealth Platform. Specifically, for our unique approach to the market, our advanced risk and trade management techniques used, and the ease and affordability with which clients are able to engage with us.
The First Strike Trader has been characterized historically by strong trade win ratios, paired with exceptionally tight stops. As any seasoned trader/investor can attest, this highly valued, unusual combination provides a solid foundation for a successful and long term wealth strategy.
We work as hard on preventing account drawdowns, as we do on creating compelling returns for our clients.
Our goal is to provide a very open and transparent platform, that is affordable... and more importantly easy.... to set up and engage.

Lets take a look at some historical screenshots and trade logs, to get a better idea of what is behind this system. The screenshots below show fairly typical Long and Short Trades. Note the tight stops which help to reduce account drawdowns.
Trade Logs
Note the preponderance of green (wins) vs. red (losses) as we scale out and close the trade....which is an integral part of our risk and trade management strategy.
First Strike Signals
Overview
Launched in April of 2015, First Strike Signals provides highly accurate, world class Forex trade signals for our 8 top currency pairs allowing clients to trade the Forex market professionally.
First Strike Signals are also an excellent window into the foundation of the First Strike Trader, as they both use the same entries and stops.
First Strike Signals (FSS) clients receive daily signals detailing which trade setups should added and which removed, on the top 8 currency pairs that we trade.
FSS will come in both a basic web based version where people will log in, as well as more advanced versions .... which will make it easier for the trader to engage and manage.

FSS are entered onto a client's trading platform as either a buy or a sell limit and should remain active until the trade has either executed and run its course, was suspended due to a major news announcement, or a new trade was issued to replace it.
Each day the market is open, we provide up to 4 trade setups for each of our 8 pairs, or 32 trade set ups total. These include the best trade setups for a longer term short trade (LS), for a shorter term short trade (SS), the best shorter term long trade (SL), and longer term long trade (LL).
The ultimate goal is to offer (3) First Strike Signals products:
1) Basic Signal Version: Stops and Entries
2) Moderate Risk: Advance Trade Management Included
3) Higher Risk: A More Aggressively Traded Account
One of the things people appreciate about the First Strike Signals, is its historical accuracy, and unusual consistency.
Lets take a look at the Free Range Signal system in action.

Below are several First Strike Signals trade screenshots for your review:
In The Pipeline
1) We are currently in the build out phase with one of the top, most respected Trading Platform/Brokerages in the world. They are saying of their current Trading App offerings, that the First Strike Signals will be among the best they will offer. Much of what they based their decision on is in the information contained within this Blog. Specifically the gross pips and daily consistency detailed below.
We hope to come out with a joint product with them in early to mid June. They are world wide, have won many global industry awards, and most traders are familiar with their name. It is a very big deal for our company, and will help put us on the map in many ways. We will be releasing their name in the near future.
2) We have been experimenting with a different, more aggressive way of managing and taking profit on our world class First Strike Signals entries and stops.
Our signature product, Moderate Risk, is where we are 'all in and we scale out' up to 5 different profit targets, while moving our stop to lock in profits and remove any remaining risk. Suspending trades during major news announcements is also a key part of our advanced risk management strategy.
However, our new more aggressively traded strategy which will be named Free Style Pippin will relax the stops to up to 50 pips (from around 20) and generally place them on the strongest pivot point. It will then begin to close out at around 75 pips or so, depending on market conditions.
The results have been very encouraging, and as a result will be monitoring this more aggressive account very closely.
