With so many scams out there, one needs to do proper due diligence before getting involved in any type of investment. So that's what this video is about. We're going to give you full disclosure and transparency so that you can make your own decision whether this is a worthwhile project for you to go forwards with and treat this as a real investment. So let's get started. So what you're looking at is fxblue. Fxblue is an independent auditor. What happens is that you take your investor password and you your metatrader, four logins that you got from your broker, you feed it into a website and then this organization takes the data from your broker and then spits out a graphic representation and statistics so that you as an investor can analyze a trader's behavior, what their real statistics are and then you can make an educated decision on of whether you want to do business with that organization. Without a fact sheet or fxblue or myfxbook statistics, I wouldn't really get involved with any type of investment because they probably don't have good track records. So any trader that's a good trader has got either a fact sheet, fxblue or myfxbook. Now I prefer fxblue because it's got a lot more drill downs than myfxbook. So I just want to explain to you what you're looking at here. This is a client of mine's Statistics. His name is Yaku Stand. I did make a video, we did do an interview with Yaku and I'll share that video with you under this video that you're going to be watching. Let's explain to you what is happening with this account. Yaku started with us back in 2023. In December he put in $259. Now this is a cent account. A cent account means that the risk is a hell of a lot lower. So there's not $793,466 in this account. We have to move the decimal place two places from right to left to get to the dollar amount. So he's actually got $7,934.66 in his account. It's very important that you understand this off the bat. Number two, it's a real account. He put in $259. Remember to move the decimal place two places from right to left. Then he put in another $700, bringing his account to $1,185. And he kept on injecting capital until he got to a value of about $5082. Yaku had never traded before in his life. There was a reversal in gold. He's only trading gold. And our product has a hedge functionality built into the product that when there is a reversal and your drawdown gets too high, you can choose that percentage drawdown. The robot will automatically place a hedge trade. So a hedge trade is basically a counter trade equal to the amount of lot sizes that you currently have open. So, for example, let's say you have 10 lots of buy trades, and those buy trades go into drawdown. In other words, it goes negative, and your accounts is starting to hemorrhage money. You can place a hedge trade, which is a sell trade, equal to the amount of lots of your buy trades. In this example, it's 10 lots. So he's got 10 open trades of buy trades. And then the robot placed a counter trade of 10 lots sell trades. This balances his account and saves and protects the account. Yaku didn't understand anything about trading. He doesn't know about what to do with a hedge trade, Although we do have a specific product called a hedge remote removal tool to remove the hedge. He unfortunately closed out all his trades in a loss. He decided to reboot. He decided then to learn my strategy, learn how to read a forex chart, and really delve deep into my training videos on how the robot works. It took him about nine months. So he got hedged probably over here in October, and he made back all his losses by the ninth month. So about 11 months it took him to recover his account. And then he started to really exponentially grow his account very successfully. But what's really outstanding is his drawdown. Currently, his drawdown is $287. So if we open up a calculator and we take $287 divided by 7930 $34, and you times that by 100, you get the percentage drawdown. So his Percentage drawdown is 3.61%. Currently, even though he withdrew $3,000, which I will show you that he withdrew that money in a few minutes, Yaku has made in his account 106% over 633 days. The results are slightly distorted because he only really started making money over here in October 2024. So I did take the statistics and I did extrapolate them into an Excel spreadsheet for us that we can analyze. What I'll do is I'll just take another screenshot over here, and then I will copy it to the database to this over here so that we can see that we're actually talking about the same account. You can see here from October, 11.3. I didn't put this in. I only put it in from January this year, 2025. So 4.4, 7.33, 10.8, etc. His real return on investment per month is an average of 7.1%, which is absolutely outstanding if you really think about this. Now, this is my account over here. This is a dollar account. I've converted this into a dollar account because I'm using FX Blue EA on my VPs. So I've asked it to actually convert this back to dollars. So let's have full transparency again. We'll just connect my phone. This is a real account. I'm trading with FPS. Let's look at the trades currently. As you can see, there's $22,363 in the account. 33, 432 equity, exactly what it says there. And I've got a floating of if I refresh it, it'll come. It'll probably get to 11,000. So let's just quickly refresh it because I like to have full transparency with you guys so that you can understand exactly what's going on. So, 11,042, 11,078. Because the market is ticking and this only refreshes once a minute, I'm making about 11.7% per month. You can decide exactly what you want with the robot and how the robot must trade. I've got a lot of settings in the robot that help you to reduce risk. I'm about reducing risk. If you understand risk, then then you can mitigate that risk. I hope you agree with that fact. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to log into the robot and I'm going to show you some of the settings that I've created on this robot so that you can understand what the risk is and how we mitigate risk and how you're in control of risk. This is a demo account and it's there for me to demonstrate what we can do on this robot and how the robot operates. I'm just going to make sure that the robot can open trades immediately, which it can. And then over here we've got automatic money management settings. Now, the robot can automatically work out your lot sizes based on a calculator that I've created for you. So in this account, there is $10,124. If we go to the calculator, we can put into the calculator the amount of capital that we have, which is 10,124. And if I use a risk of 0.01 in the money management section, the lot sizes will open at 0.10. So what we're going to do is we're going to change the risk to check it again 0.01 and then we're going to force a trade to open and a new trade will open in a few seconds. Took a bit of time. The robot was reading the news obviously and then it decided to place the trade of 0.1. Now at any time you can reduce that risk. Maybe you want the risk to be a manual lot size. You can't go lower than 0.01 risk, but you can place a manual trade. All other trades that get placed by the robot will be 0.01 lot size. So we'll do that over here now. So the robot is now going to open a 0.01 lot. Any trades after this trade will be a 0.01 lot, which is very important that you are in control of your lot sizes at any given time. You can increase your risk, you can decrease your risk at any time. Now this is a dollar cost averaging, hedging, scalping, high frequency trading robot. And on my account I'm trading on four charts. So, so let's go over to my VPs. By the way, when you trade with us, we give you a VPS so that your trades open in real time and execute very fast. We've been able to secure servers in the same data locations as the broker. So Our service connected 8.74 milliseconds. Again, this is a real account. So let's go over to my phone to show you exactly that. This is the, the account number that we're working on. 301-1833-513011-83351. It's exactly the same account that we're working on. If we go down here, you can see the equity is exactly the same as what we're trading at the moment. So there it is in sense. It's just on my fxblue that it's been converted into a dollar account so that I can read it and other people can read it more easily. I'm trading on four charts. I'm trading on a one minute chart. I'm trading on a 30 minute chart, I'm trading on another 15 minute chart and I'm trading on another 30 chart. And each one of these charts are set up differently with different risk profiles, different Take profits and different hedge functionalities. Very important to understand that, let's go back to the demo account and let's continue talking about the risk and how you can mitigate the risk. Now, before I get started with the risk settings and showing you a little bit about the inputs, I want to tell you that we do have predefined settings for our users that are new and are newbies and just want to get started. So I'll show them to you here of what we've prepared for you. Now, I've got different settings, so if you're just brand new to trading and you don't know what you're doing, I've got training wheels settings and these settings are basically set at the lowest possible risk so that you can start cutting your teeth. Understanding risk, understanding the robot and understanding what each of the settings is on the, on the input section, which is all the settings of the robot. Now I've got a training website that explains to you each of these different settings in detail so you can understand the risk and what you're going to be doing and how your account is going to be affected and with each of the settings that you choose when you choose to change them. So I've got training wheels and then I've got settings that are supplied by one of our traders that has been trading with us for about two years and he's making between 7 to 7.5% profit per month and he's given us his chart settings which you're able to use as well if that's what you choose to do. But if you're brand new to the robot, we recommend that you start trading with the training wheels first so that you can start understanding exactly what's going on. And then when you become more experienced, I put my settings here as well. And if you want to follow those, it's optional, you can choose to follow those as well. I'm getting about 13% profit per month. It is for more experienced traders. Again, start with the training wheels. And now let's go on to the risk management. So I can show you exactly what happens when you change your settings. I've got lots of different settings with regards to the, the reducing of risk. One of them is we can activate or deactivate the dollar cost averaging trading methodology at specific rules. So my methodology is that when the second candle opens below the 8 exponential moving average, I know that the trend has reversed and I want my robot to pause. I don't want trades to open. That is one strategy that I use. So it says, yeah, pause and then I've got a deactivation. So it deactivates the robot when the second candle then opens above the 8 exponential moving average on a 15 minute chart. That pauses when it's below on a 15 minute chart and then reactivates and continues to dollar cost average on a 15 minute chart. Now I do this because I don't want the robot to be opening trades counter to the trend and especially when gold is long according to cot data. So if you don't know what data is, then you're probably not going to make money in forex. Now COT data is very important to understand. COT data is, stands for the commitment of traders. It's a ledger of what the institutions in America are doing. It's audited by the Fed. So any institution that is placing trades or trading on the market has to give the Fed the audit of what trades they have placed closed and have currently open during a week. And cut data runs from Tuesday to Tuesday. And we get our results of the past week on a Friday evening at about 10 o' clock GMT plus 2. So I give all this information on my Discord channel and you're free to join my Discord channel which I'll post also under this video. Then I've got pause at all time high. I've got reduced lots in the evening funnily enough. Let me show you something very interesting. So last night there was a bit of a, a flash crash in, in gold. And you can see here, let's just enlarge that for you. You can see here this big wick all the way down to the 200 moving average. That is a massive drop in price from the top. So let's go and have a look exactly how much that was. So if we go there, that was a 355 pip move in one candle. It's absolutely huge. Now the institutions are known to do this, they known to create flash crashes and liquidity and wipe out retail traders so that they can move the price from supply zone to, to demand zone. And if you don't understand what order blocks are again, you're probably not going to make money in forex. And this is another special technique that we teach you on my Discord community, which I'll go through in a few minutes. So we've got reduced lots at all time high. Now when the, when the price is at an all time high, $30 below the all time high, I want my robot to start reducing the lots because generally that's where the supply zone Is that where the banks have put their take profits and then the price retraces back to maybe a 200 moving average or back to one of the moving averages that the banks use, which is another technique that I teach you, what moving averages the banks use and where they are placing their take profits, their stop losses and their pending orders. Very important to understand. I like to reduce my lots when there's an all time high. You can also reduce lots at a doji. So last night there was a doji and I reduced my lots and I kept it that way until the price spiked above the high of the doji. And then the dollar cost averaging principle was then reactivated. So I can either reduce lots at doji, I can pause at dogee, I can reduce lots at moving average, which is over here, reduced lots at moving average. So when the second candle drops below the 8 exponential moving average, or when the second candle opens below the 8 exponential moving average, I then can reduce my lots to a very low risk. And then when the second candle opens above the 8 exponential moving average, I know that the chart has reversed, the price has reversed, we're in an uptrend. And then I can reactivate my robot at normal lot sizes. So again, as I said, you very risk averse, I can reduce lots on percentages. So if, if my drawdown is x percentage, let's say my drawdown goes to 3%, I can start reducing my lots. And I've got four different settings for reducing my lots. Then I've got close trades at moving average. So there's many different types settings in the robot. I've also got the hedge functionality which I told you about. So you can hedge bar trades, you can hit sell trades, or you can hedge when the second candle opens below the 8 exponential moving average. You can hedge by charts, you can hedge global or just the chart lots. You can hedge by a drawdown, you can hedge via moving average. So lots of settings to protect your account. And then I've got an amazing feature which is called the equity protector, which is down at the bottom. So how that works is, is that let's say, for example, you've over leveraged your account. If you and the hedge trade doesn't open because your risk management or wallet management was a bit poor, what will happen is that this functionality will kick in and it'll close all your trades. You can choose what it wants to close. You can either close your positive trades or close your negative trades when your drawdown equals whatever percentage you choose. In this example, I've chosen 60%. So what that means is that when Your drawdown reaches 60% of all your trades are closed out in a loss, all your negative trades are closed out in a loss, and then your account is protected and you're left with 30% balance. Of course, it doesn't have to be 60%. You can put it at 10%. So when your drawdown is 10%, you can close out all your trades in a loss and then the robot will reboot. You can either remove the robot from the chart or you can allow the robot to continue on the chart after you've closed out those trades, and then the robot will continue to trade and start making you money again. Very simple. So the robot is very easy to use. I've got training videos, I've got a website with trading videos that will explain to you exactly how the robot works, what each setting is so that you can then make educated decisions on what settings you want, how to set up the robot, etc. But I know it's a little bit complicated. I do get that some people are a little bit intimidated by it. So what I've done is I've created a Discord community. So Discord is basically an application like WhatsApp or Telegram. It's just a little bit different, a little bit better. And this is where I educate my community. Currently, I'm educating 1139 people. These channels are free channels and I do a lot of explanation on chart analysis, cot data. And then I've got testimonials where you can go and find out what my other traders are doing and you can ask them questions. Is the robot working? Are you making money? But I think the results are all here and they, and you can see exactly what people are doing. Then I've got an EA setup community. I've got a client that answers questions amazingly well. He, he knows how to take complex problems and regurgitate them into very simple solutions for you. He's been trading with me for three years. I've made him an administrator and I pay him for his services. So that's Andre. And if I want to interject something, then I'll post my comments here as well. Then we've got an EA Strategies channel. Once you understand how to set up the robot and your robot is set up, and after a month or two, you want to increase the, the amount of money that you're making, the percentage per month, we help you to analyze and tell you the pros and cons of different settings, and then you can make up your mind of what you want to do based on your education level of the robot. So we don't spoon feed you here. We need to understand that you've gone through the video material, understand what the videos are, understand what the settings are, because we want to make you independent. There's nothing worse than, than you being dependent on another person, like dependent on a signals channel or dependent on an institution. My job is to help you to become independent so that you can make financial decisions and then grow your wealth the way you want to grow your wealth, not the way somebody else or an institution wants to wants you to grow your wealth or at the rate you want to grow your wealth at. Then what we have is I've got a learn to read a forex chart, group and community. It's like an academy where I educate people on my trading strategy. Strategy. And then we've got something really phenomenal which is we've got an institutional trader that works with us. Now, Guy Bashad worked for FNB for seven years. He was on their trading desk and he had a book of about $500 million a year, $50 million a month is what he traded. And he has joined us because he saw that we know how to set up our charts. He phoned me and he said, how do you know how to set up your charts that way? And I said to him, I was educated by a institutional trader. He said, yes, I can see that because this is exactly the moving averages that the institutions use. And this is a well kept secret which has been finally let out the bag. So Guy helps us to understand order blocks, effigies and fundamentals because he studied economy, economics and he's well versed in that. And he helps you to understand what, what that is. So Guy and I have a bit of banter because I believe that the institutions don't move the price because of the fundamentals. The institutions move the price from order block to order block and they use the news as an excuse to move that price to those different supply and demand zones. But that's on a different note. It's quite fun and I think you'll enjoy it. So forex is fun all the time and we try not to make it that serious because making money is fun. And you know when you have your money, you need to be able to have a lot of fun. So on that note, we've got another channel here, Profits, Life Enjoyment. So when you are making your money, then you can start posting what you're doing, how you're doing, what you're buying, and it's quite nice to to show people that you are making money. Now, on that note, I want to go back to Yaku's account because there was this dip in his chart and we need to understand why there was that dip in his chart. So we're going to go to the statistics page to go and see and prove to you that he drew $3,500. And that was just yesterday. So again, I like to have full transparency. Yakuz videos below. Let's get you started. Please note that I'm going to be calling you or Martin, my assistant is going to be calling you and we're going to be explaining to you exactly what the next steps are and possibly doing a Google Meet with you so that you can get further transparency and an understanding of what we are doing and how we can assist you from going from point A to point B in the shortest possible space of time. Let's do some mathematics together. Now, to cover costs, you would need approximately $2,000. If you're making 7% per month, let's just work it out here. Monthly 7% per month. So let's calculate. So as you can see here, after a year you have made 125% profit. Now that is absolutely astounding considering that the institutions only give you between 8 and 12% after CPI after tax, you're probably negative. Your money is decreasing in value. So this is something that the institutions don't tell you. After month one, you're already profitable because the robot costs $97 in month one. 1. After month one, the robot increases and we charge you $147. But in month two, you're making $149, $160 and then it's just exponential. So you need to treat the cost of the robot as an education cost, not a cost of making money. It's an education cost. So I'm sure you all went to university, most of you, and you studied, and that cost money. Some of you are still doing courses and, and still furthering your education because it's good to be in touch with what's going on. I'm currently doing an AI mastery course which cost me $5,000. So I'm always educating myself and becoming better and better because I always want to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday. Constant learning and improvement. I love the Japanese saying kaizen. It stands for constant improvement. So after a couple of months, three, four months, I'm sure, sure you'll be able to increase return on investment to your IR internal rate of return and you'll be able to get to 12%. Now if you get to 12%, it's a different story. Now listen, if you do this for 5 years, 5 years is coming anyway. The money is staggering. This is in dollars. So you'll probably have about 30 million after five years. But even if you make mistakes and you make a quarter of that, let's take 34 million and divided by 34, 34 divided by 4, which is a quarter, you'll have 8.5 million rand in five years. Would it be worth it? I say absolutely, yes. Let's talk about the cost of the robot. That is an important fact. Let's put in a zero value here and let's put in a value of 8% per month. And let's do this for five years and we're going to put an additional $10 in your robot. Before I do that, let's work out the cost of the robot over a five year period. Because I know some people say, wow, your robot's very expensive. But I'm showing you the value and how you can make your money back so that the robot is free. It's 11 months times 147, plus $97 for the first month. Remember, it's $97 in month one. And then 11 months of $147 equals, the cost of the software is $1,714 per year. And if we times that by five years, it's $8,570 over a five year period. Let's do the maths together. You make 8% monthly. You do this for five years and you only inject $10 extra into your forex account. What do we have at the end of five years? Five years you have grown. Your initial capital is $600 that you paid. So you paid $600. That's the $10 per month. And you grew that money to $12,000, which pays for the robot. So your robot was actually free and you left with about $4,000 change that you can reinvest into your robot. But you know guys, when you invest with an institution, they tell you to sign a debit order every month. You need to be investing the same amount of money on a monthly basis. That's called dollar cost averaging. So it doesn't matter what the price is of the, the indices that you're investing is. The important part is that you're putting in money on a monthly basis. Now we don't ask you to put in money on the monthly basis. But I think it's pretty obvious that if you want to get really wealthy, we'll just do this at 7%. We'll do this over a five year period and we'll put in $100 per month. Just an extra hundred dollars per month. You know, everybody's got a hundred dollars. We go out to eat, we buy cigarettes, we buy magazines. We've got subscriptions like DStv, Netflix, we've got prom, we've got Disney, all these different subscriptions. We go out and have a coffee, a cappuccino every day. And that all costs money. So if you sacrifice just a little bit, you need to sacrifice today so that you can have tomorrow what most people don't. And then you will have, if you work this out properly, money. If you just increase it to 12, 12% per month, the money is just sensational. It's $2.5 million, which is 50 million rand. If you don't put the money in, it goes up from 1.7 million to 2.5 million. Okay? It's an extra like $900,000, which is absolutely unbelievable. You have a choice now of what you want to do. You can stay where you are. You can, you can use the investments that you're currently investing with, you're probably getting negative growth, or you can jump on board with us, invest a couple of hundred dollars to start with. You don't have to invest $2,000. You can invest $100 just to do your due diligence. Then you can decide whether this project is for you or not for you. Give it a month, give it a two months, see if this is working for you. See if you can start making the amount of monies that you want to be making. And then you can start increasing your deposit and start building your wealth and treating this like a proper investment vehicle, taking you from point A to point B in the shorter space of time. So I look forward to talking to you on the phone and I look forward to meeting you on a Google Meet. And I hope that we can take you on this amazing journey and help you achieve your dreams and hope. Hopefully you can do the things that you really want to do. Because working in a job or working in a business, stuck in an office five to seven days a week, working 40 to 80 hours a week, I just don't think that's the plan for everybody. I think there's a bigger picture for everybody. And I just don't think everybody realizes it because we just stuck on that hamster wheel going round and round, not realizing that there are better options out there. I hope that you take this seriously and then I'll see you on my next videos. God bless.
