Hi folks,{Last updated 12th February 2012}

The PDF explaining how the service will operate will be ready by close of play Monday 13th February 2012.

If you are not a member but would still like to view a copy then just send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it quoting ' Copier PDF'.

Reserve your membership by sending £99 {not dollars or Euro which is already happening}to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

£99 covers your first 4 weeks subscription beginning March 5th and should you change your mind is refundable before the subscription period begins.  

Paypal will automatically convert payment, just enter £99 and nothing else and it will tell you what you've paid in your local currency anyhow.

It clearly says £ below but already I'm having other currencies arrive which is just not fair to the full paying members.

I have no qualms in forwarding you my banking details if you prefer not to use Paypal

-------------------------

I recommend you read over all the ' trade copier' information that on this blog but  to keep you further informed here is the latest most up to date information and developments as well.

- Currently on track to begin March 5th.

- The service I will be using to ensure my trades reach you virtually instantly {I'm told in person tonight that it will take less than 100th of a second} will most likely be https://www.4xsolutions.com

- 4xsolutions come highly recommended by many of my clients and I have spoken to them personally and feel they will do an exceptional job

- They're currently updating their software for even greater service and have recommended my clients hold back and have the latest, available around mid February.

- They are also in the same building as a major MT4 provider and I will let you know who that is once I've got the best deal for my clients. You do not have to change MT4 provider if you don't want to, you can use whomever you wish but I have been informed that niggles can get resolved extremely quickly because of the close relationship the copier service and the MT4 provider have.

- I will still be sending out a PDF to all those that registered trade copier interest at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , most of the information is here anyhow and on the other blog section entitled 'Trade Copier Signals Service'

- Expect the PDF within the next week or two or when I send out the latest newsletter.

- I suggest to those that don't know me, trust me, are unsure, want my bank statements lol and all terms related lol, that you hold back and watch the results until you feel that this is the service for you. There is a limit to keep it manageable and simple but don't worry, it's more important that you join because you have done your homework and want to. If you apply after the membership is full then someone always drops out for one reason or another at some stage.

- If everyone that expressed interest were to subscribe then I would be 4 times over the limit and so it's a first come first serve scenario. Of course not everyone that expresses interest will subscribe but once the quota has been filled I will install an orderly queue lol and as one drops out I will inform the next in line that a vacancy has arisen.

- Securing a place is £99 payable to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it via PayPal or I am happy to provide banking details.

- £99 covers you for a 4 week period and the £99 you forward to secure your place will cover you for the first 4 weeks of the service. You can secure your place from now and I will send you an e-mail, should you do so, confirming receipt and that you are now officially a member of the service.

- You will understand how the service will operate by checking out the blog and if it appeals to you then sign up and get your name down. If you change your mind before the service begins I will simply refund you.

- Take note my trader friends, this is going to be a relaxed, 15-30 pips on average per day that I trade, simple service where you let me get on with it. Checkout  https://www.4xsolutions.com and you will see that you can set risk and money management appetite easily once you have the software installed. Read all the spiel here and the rest on the blog too and the PDF when sent out and only join if you're sure it's for you. The PDF will virtually be a copy of what I'm stating here and on the other section of the blog.

- Virtually all trades will be on the EUR/USD so that once again it can be kept simple and at some stage I may offer to teach a few of you this method. I've been asked several times already if this is the PHD method and my answer was that yes there will be some PHD trades but this method boils down more to experience than a system really.

- Once this service is up and running I will most likely not be personally teaching the PHD method any longer so if you want personal tuition contact me. I will still make the PDF version available and I will continue to look after all my PHD clients but I will stop the 1:2:1 training to concentrate on the trade copier service and my other trading interests.

- Just to ensure it's crystal clear. My existing PHD clients are still as valued as they always have been and I will continue to look after you. Those purchasing the PDF version, even when I eventually stop 1:2:1 sessions, will also receive the same level of exceptional service that I provide to all my PHD method clients.

So re-read this blog posting, read the other trade copier blog posting and if you think it will suit you then reserve your spot by sending £99 {not Dollars or Euro} to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Remember I will refund you if you change your mind before the service begins.

I'll be updating fairly frequently now as I'm excited myself that I've found a couple of services that can relay my trades quickly, efficiently and with superb after-care service for us all.

Cheers

Andy

 Send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with ' TRADE COPIER' in the subject box if you want to be kept informed of this service that will begin March 5th 2012

YOU CAN NOW RESERVE YOUR SPOT BY SENDING £99 TO This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or by requesting my banking details. I will confirm your spot and send you the 'members' only e-mail.

The £99 covers you for the first 4 weeks subscription beginning March 5th. You may ask for a refund anytime up until the subscription starts and it will be prompty returned.

This will be a new FOREX TRADE COPIER SERVICE that will automate and activate my trades to your MT4 platform.

These are not trades from my PHD METHOD, true, some of them may overlap but an explanation about the service and the style of trades you will recieve is explained below.

I  have repeated myself several times purposely.   

When I place the trade it will automatically go live your end. I control the stop, target, entry etc, you just set your MT4 platform to the risk you are comfortable with. {Recommended between 1-3%}. You can take over the trade at any stage if you so wish. Stop-loss will fall between an average 15 - 35 pips

Doesn't matter where you reside on the planet, I will place the trade and as long as you have an MT4 Platform and you have set it up correctly then the trade will automate.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND QUESTIONS YET. I WILL ISSUE A PDF EXPLAINING ALL ABOUT  THE SERVICE IN DUE COURSE. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO OPERATE A SIGNALS SERVICE MANY TIMES BUT ALWAYS HELD BACK BECAUSE OF ALL THE EXTRA TIME IT TAKES, I DEVOTE MY TIME TO THE PEOPLE I PERSONALLY TUTOR. BY OPERATING A 'TRADE COPIER' SERVICE I BELIEVE IT WILL VIRTUALLY ERADICATE QUESTIONS AS I WILL BE TRADING PURELY TO INCREASE YOUR TRADING ACCOUNTS. I EXPECT TO HAVE THE PDF READY BY MID TO END OF JANUARY. I HAVE JUST RETURNED HOME FROM VACATION {14TH JAN} BUT AM NOW PLANNING ON TAKING ANOTHER ONE IN FEBRUARY SO THE SERVICE WILL BEGIN MARCH AS I DON'T PLAN ON ANOTHER HOLIDAY AGAIN UNTIL AT LEAST AUGUST. 

If interested just send a e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with ' TRADE COPIER' in the subject box and I'll add you to my TRADE COPIER signals service database. I will then contact you in plenty of time before the service is due to begin in March 2012.. No point before that. I'm away several times between now and then.

Those of you who know me will appreciate that this service will be in my usual relaxed manor with no frills and no waffle but exceptional overall service.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND QUESTIONS YET - Just check back here every so often. When I have more information and a definate start date you will know if you have joined the 'trade copier' mailing list. {Definate start date has just been released and will be March 5th 2012}

- All trades will be opened and closed in the same trading day, many remain open from between 5 minutes to an average 2hrs. The whole point of this service is that you just let me get on with it. You will be able to individually set your own risk and so if a 20 pip stop or a 120 pip stop the risk is still the same, 2% of an account, for instance, will be 2% whether the stop is 10 pips or 30 pips.

- If the live trade doesn't move in our direction pretty sharpish and I have doubts it will now go against us, I tend to either exit, move the stop way up close or take the profit/loss there and then. I do hang around now and then but it's rare. Depends on what time of the day or night it is really,  they tend to take longer to mature in the quieter trading periods of course.

- All trades will be forex related but could be on any market pairs.

- If you are seriously considering joining, and haven't a clue about trading I suggest you do a little research on what is actually involved in trading in general. Trading tends to attract many variations of 'trader' and those 'traders' that haven't a clue are by far the worse and can spoil the simplicity of this service for others. So please do yourselves a favour, if you haven't a clue then get clued up lol.

- The company I am considering using are called https://www.4xsolutions.com. It may not be their service I use yet but you will get a very good image from their website of how the service will operate. They have a very good reputation but I am interested to hear from anyone that has experience of a reliable trade copier service.

- Trades will happen as and when the criteria is met and I'm around. This is going to be a relaxed service with trades that I spot rather than sitting there looking for them. Just an enjoyable 'let me get on with it' style operation. If that interests you then send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with 'trade copier' in the subject box and that is all you need to do for now.

- I will not be including any of my longer term trades, I want to keep this service very simple and easy to operate. Low risk, high probability trades that are generally over within minutes or hours. All trades will be closed in the same day they're opened.

-There will be trades from my PHD method that may overlap but that doesn't matter as I will not be explaining to anyone why I took a trade as the idea behind this service is for you to just let me get on with it.

- Expect around 1-3 trades per day on average with never more than 2 live at any one time. Most of the time there will be just the one live and if the first trade gives us our 15-30 pips or so then that's 'job done'.

- Probably be 4 days per week rather than 5 but not really taking that in to account, such is the nature of this relaxed style service. It will be what it will be.

- You'll either want to just do nothing and let me get on with it {contact me about joining}or be asking questions galore {Don't contact me to join lol}. Question answering and advice service is for my PHD method clients not this service. You are entitled to ask sensible questions but if they're answered on the PDF I will provide I will simply refer you to it. If it's not answered and it's sensible then you have my attention. The reason I go on about this question malarkey is because so many people just can't be bothered to read instructions. Signal services and trade copier services tend to attract 3 types of client:

   1- Those that can trade and simply want to add to their portfolio = Very welcome clients

   2- Those that are learning to trade, struggling to trade or just understand how trading works = Very Welcome Clients

   3- Those that haven't a clue about trading, think it's a get rich quick gig and have read too much of the waffle on the internet nowadays = Not so very welcome clients lol and you need to get yourself up to speed on the reality of trading because I will be able to tell my end and not allow you to join or will remove you  from the service.

If you fall in to category 3, as previously mentioned a couple of times already,may I suggest you do some research. My site is as good as any or just do a Google search on subjects related to forex trading. Money management is essential to the survival of any trader on this planet. It's not a hard subject and it takes no time at all to understand so be good to yourself and get up to speed. I will have no qualms in not allowing those who are ignorant of trading to join the service, it's something I do regarding tutoring PHD Method clients, I don't accept everyone.

- Average risk will be between 15 - 30 pips with the stop moved to protect capital quite rapidly. There may be bigger stops at times but so what as the risk is the same, 1/2/3% of an account is still 1/2/3% whether 10 pips is risked or 100 pips. Minimum 1:2:1 risk to reward ratio is the aim.

- The aim is for an average 15 - 30 pips per day, consistent profits with no long losing runs or losing weeks anticipated etc, just a nice simple service where I place a trade and it's automatically copied your end to your MT4 platform.

- Not bothered about the big moves, if they happen they happen, as I'll be closing the trades if they individually or combined reach around 20/30 pips.

- I'll be teaching this method occasionally if it's of interest to anyone. Don't expect it to be peanuts as I haven't strived to get something like this right to just give it away.

- Doesn't matter where you reside on the planet, if you have the internet then you can join this service when it begins March 2012. Those of you who don't know me or have reservations then just watch the service for a few months and as clients drop out and a slot becomes available you can sign up. It will be a simple case of don't pay the £99 4 weekly subscription if you want to leave, no contracts or long term sign ups. Stay if you enjoy, leave if you don't.

- The cost will be £99 per 4 trading weeks with a simple stay on if you like it or simply leave if you don't.There will be a limit both for my sanity lol and to ensure that the trade copier software does it's job by not being overloaded. For whatever reason there will always be people that change their mind or don't enjoy the service. As one drops out the first person on the top of the waiting list will be offered a spot, you're not obligated in any way to take it and I can remove you fron the list, on request, at any time you wish.

- I'm not going to bother with offer deals or offers etc, you'll either be interested in this style of service and be happy to pay a £99 4 week subscription fee or you won't. Nice and simple is the key and I recon that this style of service will only attract those that understand trading anyhow and that will suit me just fine thank you very much lol.

- This service is nothing to do with my PHD Method that has fantastic reviews throughout the internet. For the time being I will be still teaching, personally and via the internet, my PHD method. I will decide once the 'trade copier service' begins if I will continue to teach the method or not. Rest assured that if you are already a PHD client then you still will be regardless of whether I decide to continue teaching it or not.

-When a trade is placed and you happen to be around you can at any stage, override all trades, move stops, targets and exit etc. Though I place them you can interfere if you see fit or want to adapt to your trading comfort.

By operating the service this way  it means I can operate a much anticipated and requested Trade Copier Service with very little hassle, sometimes on the move and just by occasional glances at my screens. I'm not looking for mega moves, big runs and scores of pips. All I offer is my best to give you around 15 - 30 pips per day, on average. This could be any time of the day or night, you just let me get on with it regardless. I trade on the move quite often so this style of service will suit me, if you think it will suit you then just send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with 'TRADE COPIER' in the subject box and I'll be in touch as and when.

That's it for now folks, nothing changed for my PHD clients, my time is still yours.

When you execute a Forex trade, you are purchasing an amount of currency, termed a lot. The amount of currency in one lot depends upon the type of account you have. In a standard account, one lot is usually equal to U.S. $100,000; in a mini account, one lot is $10,000. But Forex trading accounts are leveraged, which means you don’t have to own that expensive lot of currency; you just have to control it, and if you do, any profit it earns is yours. To obtain the right to control a lot of currency, you put up a much smaller amount of money in a sort of rental agreement called a margin deposit. In a standard account, to control that U.S. $100,000, you must put up $1,000 of your own money; in a mini account, to control $10,000, you need to put up $100.

The leverage influences the amount of profit you earn, as well. In a standard account, one pip of a currency pair that has the U.S. dollar as the base is equal to U.S. $10; in a mini account, one pip equals to $1. This means that, should you correctly forecast the movement of the market and execute a trade that earns you two hundred pips (not an unrealistic goal), if you have a standard account, your profit will be $2,000; if you have a mini account, it’s $200.

To maximize your profits in Forex trading, you don’t have to trade a standard account; not every beginning trader can afford to. Instead, if you believe you have a good forecast on the market, you can trade more than one lot. To continue the above example, if your successful trade earned you two hundred pips and you had purchased five lots of that currency, in a mini account you would have put up $500 of your own money—but earned a profit of $1,000 (two hundred pips times five lots). In a standard account, you would have put up $5,000—and earned $10,000.

The number of lots you can trade depends upon the margin in your account. That’s not the amount you deposited; that also includes any open trades you have running, taking into account any profits or losses you may incur.

There are two types of orders that can be placed in Forex trading. The most common type is called a market order, and it simply purchases or sells the currency pair at the going market rate. This sort of trade is quickly arranged—with some online trading platforms, one click can do it—so it’s the order you want to place when the market is moving rapidly. (If you do the one-click thing, always edit the trade to put in a stop-loss; more on that in a minute.)

The other kind of order is called an entry order, and it’s what you use when you want to purchase or sell a currency pair but only at a certain price. For example, say the GBP/USD is range-bound, moving sideways in a channel, going up and down but not far enough to entice you into a trade.

But there are indications that the Cable might soon break out of that channel. So you could place an entry order to purchase but only after the price rises above a certain point. If the Cable breaks out, your entry order would be triggered, and you would purchase the currency pair when the price rises above your pre-arranged point. If it doesn’t, you aren’t stuck with a currency pair that’s going nowhere, and the still-dormant entry order would cancel after a certain length of time.

A stop, also called a stop-loss, is a pre-arranged point where you decide you would like to get out of a losing trade. A limit, also called a take-profit, is a pre-arranged point where you decide you would like to exit a winning trade. Although it may not seem so on the surface, both are important. Properly using stops and limits defines the extent of your risk and encourages disciplined trading.

I take my trading seriously and never turn up for work without my lucky hat.

Diversification is standard practice for very many successful traders. Once again this is an article for general trading advice and thoughts and is not directly related to my forex PHD Method.

Diversification as defined by the American Heritage dictionary is: “To distribute (investments) among different companies or securities in order to limit losses in the event of a fall in a particular market or industry”. The primary goal of diversification is to “capitalize on returns” through investments in different areas so prevent a total wipe of your positions should the market turn against you. Nearly all investment specialists have the same opinion that, diversification is absolutely necessary to avoid risks for long-term investments.

Just imagine that you have an account in Forex, and you only trade the EUR/USD, can you diversify your position? The answer is YES. A very resounding yes at that as well! Even if you trade just one currency pair you still should diversify your holdings. In a while we will go through just how to do that. Let us first explore the advantages and disadvantages of diversification in Forex. One of the advantages of having a diverse holding would create more stability in your account. Just image if one trade turns against you (which is highly likely) you have at least some other trades that would win. Thus your final profit and loss statements for a day will show a profit. If you had just one trade most likely you would be facing with a loss for the day.

A disadvantage of diversification is that there is the possibility that you get carried away and over diversify your positions. Focus is needed to maintain profitability in your account, an over diversification will dilute that focus which makes it difficult to grow your account. To illustrate the above 2 examples let’s work through some figures: For instance you fund your account with $10,000 and each position size you take is normally 5% of your total account. How should you diversify your account? There are three ways of diversifying and I recommend that you do at least two.

First method is that you break your 3% into 1% each and trade with 1% per trade instead of a huge 3% in a single trade.

Second is that you trade different time frames, for instance you normally trade 5 minutes, now have two position one 5 the other 15 minutes. Third, you can trade non related currency pairs. For example The EUR/JYP and the GBP/USD Based on your money management rules, use at least 2 of the above 3 points to help you diversify your positions.

Next we have to address the issue of over diversification. It can be a potential problem if you lose focus and over diversify. As the old saying goes, “too many cooks spoil the broth” over diversification is like that. I would suggest that you should have no more then 3 positions opened at any point in time. For example, you decided to use 3% of your account to trade and instead of having in all in one trade, you slit it up into 2 different trades with 2 pairs. You use 2.5% to trade the EUR/JPY and the next 2.5% to trade GBP/USD. This spreads out you risk a fair amount. You can still focus on these two trades and if thing go well you will earn on both. If one fails there is a chance that the other will win.

There is that possibility that both trades turn against you. That’s why at the onset you only use no more than 3% of your account to trade! Diversification is a part of good money management; it will protect your account and help you make more money in the long term.
