The Amsterdam Method (Forex) -- A New Forex trading system using small stops and a high winning percentage.  Forex Quotes, Forex Broker.

Recent System Performance

(Recent System Performance Link)  I am an ex-floor trader and system developer from Chicago who now trades online. As a sideline I teach other traders, novice or experienced, in my methods. It's not a large scale operation; only a few students per month.

Comments from some of my former trading students

(Comments Link)  My offer is unusual. I am an individual, a real trader who created his own trading method. This is not a software firm, no 'trading company' trying to
sell systems to as many people as possible.

This method is new and known only by myself and 2 other traders (at this writing.)
I am offering to share it with a few traders, for a price, in order to increase
my own trading size.

For many years I traded stock indexes and other futures markets, and The
Amsterdam Method originated from the study of those markets. Recently
I have adapted it to Forex trading, and I believe the results are better.

The Method uses small stops in the range of 15-30 pips usually.

The method can locate potential turning points in the trend at the earliest time.
This allows for a relatively small stop-loss, and a clearer indication from price action
whether a trade is 'good'. It can call a trade well ahead of the old 'trend following' systems.

The Amsterdam Method is a new way to read chart formations.  It uses pattern recognition combined with the 'Timeshift Principle' - my own discovery.

The Timeshift Principle

After many years of trading experience I came to the realization that a technical entry setup is only a fraction of what is needed to make a winning trading method. The filter - choosing among possible setups - is just as important.  I considered the two main ways that the trigger price of a technical signal can change: by variation in the indicator parameters, or variation in the chart timeframe. I came to these conclusions:

• Technical trading systems sometimes give false signals because they don't change with market conditions.
• In hindsight, a given losing trade could be avoided if different indicator parameters were used.
• Also, a given losing trade could be avoided if a different chart time frame were used (10 minute chart instead of 15 minute chart, for example).
• In both cases, by changing either the parameters or the time frame, the entry signal would have appeared earlier in the trend (allowing for a better entry price) or not appeared at all (avoiding a loss).
• Actual chart structure is fundamental - indicators are only a derivative of the chart. Therefore the Time Frame is most important, since changing the timeframe alters the chart structure.
• Conclusion: A technical trading method can realize the highest win percentage if chart timeframes change according to market conditions.

But what are the 'market conditions' and how to know when they have changed?
This technique is at the heart of the Amsterdam Method - the Timeshift Principle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Method trades only at certain times of the day, so that constant monitoring of charts is not necessary. It is a methodology, not software. The charts and indicators used are not customized, and they are available with most charting vendors in the market.

Trade entries are technical and objective - two or more traders using this method on
a given time frame should choose the same entry point.

The initial stop-loss point is clearly defined. There is some subjectivity in the exit of
a winning trade, particularly a winner that has moved significantly from the entry price.

The system materials are written instructions and charts.
Also included is my personal assistance by telephone, email, or IM
(assistance is free of charge for 6 months after purchase)

In person consultation can also be arranged, schedule permitting.

There are no refunds on the materials or the instruction.

I can only promise to show you how I trade, and to help you understand and
use the method in your own trading. Your results will be determined by
how consistent you are in using the Method, which is beyond my control.
