LorbeerInv trader's profile

Hi, my name is Laurent and I trade the financial markets for more than a decade. I went from stocks to ETF´s, Futures and finally 2012 I settled on Forex thorugh CFD´s. Today, I manage two different currency portfolios and one options portfolio. From 2017 on I am providing money management services by selling trading signals of the two currency portfolios directly into customer accounts.

Watchlist:
AUD/USD, EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/CAD, CHF/JPY, AUD/JPY

Logic Chain:
*Identifying opportunities using technical price reading, fundamental analyses and statistics. Following logic chain:

*Deciding on the preferred trading direction. Birds eye view of the market. Fundamental big picture + technical analyses of DTF - Directional TimeFrames (weekly and daily)

*Identifying the most promising entry areas on the 4h and 60 minutes charts (TTF - Trading TimeFrame)

*Defining exact entry and profit prices

*Realize profit by TP limit orders or manual close. About 65% of all opportunities realize a profit without much trade management.

*Active trade management considering most recent price action, news outcome and other factors that where unknown before entering the trade. As a swing trader, not all trades can be closed before major news, hence open trades will be protected against amplifying price movement.

Trade Management:
An opportunity is targeted with multiple entries in order to a) average the cost base of the opportunity, b) not miss on opportunities and c) allow the market to develop any given trading opportunity without constantly triggering stop loss orders. Even if market noise on the 240M and the 60M trading timeframe is low, the market still requires space to oscillate around its fair value. Statistics provide you with and edge, logic and price reading increases this edge crating a real advantage against competitive traders. The forex market is a "0-Sum" game like chess, bottom line one looses one wins, this implies that you must outsmart other traders to win your share.

Typically 2 or 3 split entries are defined during the identification phase, using classical yet proven and efficient entry strategies. If the underlying assumption was correct, profit is realized with an average gain of 20 - 200 Pips. If my underlying assumption on the market direction changes after being exposed, then capital is preserved by using the same statistics, logic and price reading in order to reduce the cost of the trade and sometimes turn a potential looser into a small profit. The goal is to realize regular profit and take advantage of exponential growth and limiting losses while respecting strict trade limits, risk-, money- and size- managements rules that where developed over a 10 year trading career.

Money Management:
Master Account leverage is 1:500. Position size will always be relative to a EUR 3.000,00 equity for the convenience of small investors. Working (unrealized) drawdown is kept below 30%. In few very unfortunate times, the working dd may exceptionally be higher however, active risk management is applied to keep the working dd below 50% to meet the myfxbook autotrade requirements. Risk averse and conservative investors must consider the working dd in their capital allocation and set the following rate accordingly to their risk profile. Please consult a financial advisor if need be. Less risk averse and more opportunistic or aggressive investors are recommended to respect a min. of EUR 1.500 per 0.5 mirror rate @ 1:500 leverage.


Expected P&L:

Projection from past and current performance between 3000 - 5000 pips p.a. on av. 0.1 lot (= EUR 3.000 - 5.000)

The Master Account runs on a Beeks VPS 24/7. I offer the possibility to install customer MT4 accounts on the server at a charge of EUR 10 p.m. to let your account run 24/7 as well. Just send me an email to: [email protected]. A direct copy trading solution through MT4 is available as well if mql5 is not desired or possible. Just visit: www.lorbeerinvestment.com
