A High-Percentage Strategy Blueprint

Oct. 30, 2023

Many times I like to give away entire systems for free.

Why?

Because I want regular people to do better than the market.

But I also want people to take my testing, confirm it, and then email me suggestions/improvements.

That way I can share the improvements with the readers for free (or on YouTube), receive more improvements on top of the improvements, and a Virtuous Circle begins.

Which is awesome.

But today I’m going to share a framework that I’m pretty sure will produce profit for anyone.

It may not be the exact profit you want and it may not make 10:1 with a 99% win rate, but I’ve seen this framework work on multiple timeframes on multiple instruments over multiple years.

And here it is.

1. Establish the long-term trend. I use a long-term moving average.
2. Make price close above the long-term trend for Long trades (or simply trade in the direction of the established trend.) Do the opposite for Short trades.
3. Wait for a pull-back. I like to use indicators for this; RSI, CCI, Stochastics all work well.
4. Go for a small profit target while having a bigger stop. I like the stop to be 2-5x bigger than the profit target.

That said, long-time readers will know that the Heron is exactly that type of system. I’ve been working on the Heron since 2017. And I track a Heron portfolio on my Performance Page.

What I did for this Newsletter was change the profit target. While I like small targets with this style of trading, I was curious how it would respond with bigger targets.

So I ran a test on Portfolio Tester on AUDJPY, GBPJPY, USDJPY, CADJPY, NZDJPY, CHFJPY, AUDCAD, EURUSD, AND GBPUSD and easily transferred the results with a click of a button over to Portfolio Architect.

Even though I more than tripled my typical profit target, the stop was still 1.5x bigger than my profit for this experiment.

Here are the testing results for 2023. As you know, 2023 has been one of the most challenging trading years in decades.

The Report (trading 1 lot each time):

And the Curve on a sample $15k account:

While it’s been a bit rocky, it’s hypothetically done quite well.

This blueprint seems to work even in a tough year.

But the question is: would this possibly work in other types of markets?

We’ll take a look in the next Newsletter.
