Q2 +198% gain, despite a losing month in June on H1 timeframe

June was a challenging month indeed - lots of ranging markets, but a great 198% still for Q2 - including June!

It's important to understand this can happen and no equity curve in trading is a perfect diagonal one! Losing days/weeks or even months can be part of a profitable strategy over a long period of time. Understanding this is vital to overall success and profitability. Lots of traders flick between strategies from week to week or month to month, not sticking with one plan thus then not having consistency.

Treat your trading like a business and accept a losing month should not define your year or your quarter!

Q2 stats below, also we touch on V4 stats below too - to show how we have now factored in a function to help remove a lot of trades from a ranging market - the difference is quite staggering in both the reduced amount of trades, solid gains for Q2 and that June in isolation remained profitable on V4.

All based on £500 account on 1% risk as a baseline for all stats;

Current settings;

Q2 / £991 profit / 817 trades
June / £-129 / 263 trades

V4 settings with trend filter and specific parameters for each pair on H1 timeframe;

Q2 / £852 profit / 332 trades (less than half the current trade volume!)
June / £48 profit / 95 trades - almost a third of the trade volume, thus demonstrating the trend filter working well.


Due to the lower volume of trades, 1% risk is doable, on V3 it was high if taking all trades - thus V4 can provide even stronger % returns on a LFL basis because of this.

Watch out for our V4 video .....
