Lots of small bites vs. one large winning trade

The Yen FX Trader strategy is that it takes lots of small profitable bites out of the market. This relieves the pressure of trying to capture those two or three large winning trades as well as avoiding the large losses that inherently come with trying to find those trades.

To put it simply, the Yen FX Trader prefers lots of small winning trades rather than a couple of big ones.

 

The Yen FX Traders primary objective is to produce stable and consistent results in a fashion that minimizes drawdowns and unnecessary risk.

We feel that consistency is one of the most important aspects to trading successfully in the foreign exchange market. The Yen FX Traders approach to consistently producing profitable trades is mainly by avoiding large losing trends generally associated with system trading in the currency market. Some of the ways that this is accomplished is by using trailing stops and exiting every position before the close of the US equity market.

The use of tight trailing stops allows us to minimize our losing trades as well as exit a losing position quickly so that a new position may be entered in order to capitalize on the intraday trend.

Never holding a position overnight also greatly reduces the exposure time on a per trade basis and shields us from unexpected overnight events that may create unwanted market fluctuation.
