Typical Equity Fluctuations

The data below is the latest as of this posting. Notice that this account has gone through two Shanghai meltdowns and is chugging along in the middle of the present sub-prime loans crises.

These numbers are not exact as I only log in and record what I see during that day. Therefore some days are missed and sometimes I have recorded two readings in one day.

The margin was 9% in January. On Aug 1st I compounded at 16k and set the margin this time at 9.5%.

The results are as follows. Note that the account equity has to fall to the Margin Regd number to get a margin call. That is the only way to get knocked out of the market here while hedging.

Everyday interest is being earned and we always buy low and sell high. If used properly this system ensures that 100% of the trades are winning trades.

Hedging the FOREX Market

Since the arrival of the FreedomRocks FX Hedging System there hedging the FOREX Market is getting a lot more attention. Wall Street is starting to look at this kind of trading and are giving some traders billion dollar accounts to trade.

The brokers are also now clamouring to get FreedomRocks traders onto their trading stations at 400:1 leveraging. Recently FXCM gave all FreedomRocks users 400:1 leverage up to 1 million dollars. This is a first in FOREX retail history and speaks volumes as to the credibility of this system and the interest it is getting from the biggest brokers in the US.

FreedomRocks is definitely the system to watch, test, and profit by.

I will be posting results on compounding and non-compounding accounts. Some of these will be live and some demos. In this system demos and live accounts are pretty much the same as emotions do not enter into this system. The system works exactly the same on a live account as it does on a demo.
