Introduction To Set & Forget Forex Signals Hello, my name is Edward Lomax and I am the Head
Trader behind Set And Forget Forex Signals.
For those of you unfamiliar with my service, here is a quick overview…
Set And Forget Forex Signals is a Forex signals service that provides Forex trading signals based on the Daily time
frame.
Set & Forget Forex Signals trade only ONCE A DAY around 5:30 PM New York
Time. Subscribers just login to the Premium Member’s Area at that time and see if there is anything to do (enter trade, manage trade, manually close trade, etc.).
Only 10 minutes a trading day.
For more information, go to: http://www.ForexInvestingLive.com
Complete Transparency…
I feel it is very important for people to understand what to expect from a Forex
signals service if they are going to get the benefits they deserve. Too often, people are misled by inflated results, cherry-picked trades and in the worst cases,
downright lies. This lack of REAL information leads to unrealistic expectations, disappointment, frustration and wasted time and money.
This case study is designed to show you
“the good, the bad and the ugly” of Set And Forget Forex Signals for the year of
2015. And while past performance cannot guarantee future results… it is a great way of
preparing yourself for the ups and downs of REAL Forex trading.
I think you are going to be shocked by
some of the statistics!

Performance Overview: Set & Forget Signals EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURJPY, USDCAD & USDCHF
Year: 2015
Let’s get right to it by giving you a birds-eye-view of what happened throughout the year in the Case Study account.
As you can see, over the course of 2015, Set & Forget Forex Signals produced 8,920 positive pips.
Complete Honesty: My goal for the system is
5,000 pips a year. I’m happy with an average of
1000 pips a year per currency pair traded, so
anything above that is wonderful.
I practice “Low Expectation Forex Trading” where
I keep my goals very reasonable so they are easy
to reach and promote a sense of accomplishment.
Let’s take a look at what these gains look like on a line graph…

Very consistent and smooth growth in the Case Study account. While it has its ups and downs, there is steady growth throughout the year. And I would rather be on a pace of slow and steady growth, than suffer through an emotional rollercoaster ride… wouldn’t you?
Monthly Breakdown
Set And Forget Forex Signals: “2015 Performance Report”
© 2015 Set And Forget Forex Signals - All Rights Reserved. http://www.SetAndForgetForexSignals.com
Page 6
As you can see, some months were better than others… and there was even TWO LOSING months. But Forex trading is a long term endeavor, so it is important to focus on what happens OVERALL rather than on a trade by trade or even month by month basis. Even with two losing months of -439 pips and -16 pips the system averaged +743 pips per month. Winning months ranged from between +84 pips and +1431 pips.
Why? Because you can only take what the market gives you… and some months it gives more than others! (And some months it takes away). IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS: You cannot predict the best time to start trading the Set And Forget Forex Signals.
You might join and have a losing month. (What a letdown and disappointment, I know).
You might join and have a small winning month. (Again, disappointing and frustrating).
You might join and have the best month of the year! (While that would be nice, there is no way predict when this will happen).
I can’t stress this enough. Forex trading should be approached with a long term view. It is a marathon race, not a sprint. More often than not, when you make decisions based on short term results… you end up sabotaging your long term gains.
Part of what I want to show with this Case Study
is how you need to stick with the trading… even
when it hits some rough patches. The overall
results are what matter.

Since there is no way to tell what type of month
you will have when you first join, you need to
dedicate yourself to sticking with the trading
for 3-6 months for the best chance of success!

Set & Forget Forex Signals are generated on the Daily time frame, and the goal is to get into high probability trades with high profit potential. As a result, we are not placing a lot of trades every
month. Just goes to show you… you don’t need to place hundreds or thousands of trades a year to make excellent profits. In 2015, 95 trades were placed, which is a large enough sampling to get a good feel for how the signals perform. You cannot really tell how a strategy performs after just a few trades. But 95 trades are enough to get a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Overall, the signals had a +67.4 win rate. As you can tell, some currency pairs performed better than others. But it is clear you should not expect to win all the time. Due to all the misleading information out there about Forex trading, most people think you need a great win rate to be a profitable trader. It is not uncommon to see systems and services promising 85% to 95% win rates!
In my experience, win rates like these are not realistic.
The truth is, win rate is not as important as
money management and trade management. Yes, a
strategy with poor money and trade management
needs to have an extraordinarily high win rate
to be successful. But again, with my “Low
Expectation Forex Trading” mentality, I favor
proper money and trade management over a high
win rate. (Plus, it takes the pressure off
trading and emotionally handling losses when you
don’t have to win all the time to get fantastic
profits!)
Remember, successful trading is not about winning every trade, or even having a winning month EVERY month… but getting POSITIVE OVERALL results over time.
Trade By Trade Stats By Month
Let’s do a mental exercise… As you go through the trades each month, pay close attention and really try to understand how YOU would react to these results if you were placing these trades.

January:
NOTE: Some of these trades were running since December 2014. Did
you see the 1000 pip trade? I like to call these months “Profit Geysers”, because you see explosive growth that takes our account to
a whole new level of profits.
TIP: You never know when you are going to have a “Profit Geyser” month, so dedicate yourself to trading the signals over the long term. This way, even if it takes a while to get a great month like this,
you will still be trading the signals when a “Profit Geyser” comes along. And once you experience a “Profit Geyser” month for
yourselves, you’ll never want to stop trading the signals.
February:
NOTE: Another great month. Are you starting to see you don’t need to place a lot of trades in order to make nice profits?

March:
NOTE: Another “Profit Geyser” month. Even with 3 losing trades, the pips really add up!
April:
NOTE: Oh no! Our first losing month. If you were trading the signals since the beginning, this would not be such a big deal, even though nobody likes giving pips back to the market. But what if you just
started using the signals service?
Would you have lost faith in the signals service?
Would you have continued placing trades after this losing month? Would you have wanted to leave the service?

TIP: Avoid passing judgment on signal performance until you experience long term results. This is very hard the first year… but becomes increasingly easier as the years go by. You’ll learn some
years are more profitable than others… which is fine as long as you set your expectations within reachable parameters.
Remember, a losing month does not mean the strategy has
stopped working. You need to find it in yourself to just keep pushing forward and placing the trades. And you guessed it… the way
to do this is to take a LONG TERM VIEW of using the signals.
Don’t make decisions based on short term results… or you might sabotage your long term profit potential!
May:
NOTE: Another “Profit Geyser” month! Even with 4 losses there were a lot of big wins that more than made up for them. This is the way
profitable trading works.
CAUTION: If you join the service and happen have a
“Profit Geyser” month, don’t get overconfident and

increase your risk. There are good months and bad…
and you need to be prepared for BOTH.
TIP: Dedicate yourself to at least 6 months of using the service NO MATTER WHAT. You’ll need this experience to figure out your
risk tolerance and what money management strategy is right for your trading personality. Anything less is just too short of a time to make
important decisions.
6 months is long enough to allow you to go through months of gains, consolidation and drawdown and understand how the signals work
over the long term. Only then can you make informed decisions about how best to trade the signals for your goals.
June:
NOTE: Not much trading this month… and not a lot of pips. Yes, it happens. Sometimes the market consolidates and just doesn’t
give up that many pips.
Remember, you can only take what the market wants to give you.
TIP: Avoid judging the service on a monthly basis… either good or
bad. Each month is different. For that matter, each year is different. Try to develop a long term view of performance.

July:
NOTE: Nice month of trading, with another “Profit Geyser”. I feel sorry for people who left the service after last month’s mediocre
performance and missed out on these gains.
August:
NOTE: Not much happened and there were only small gains. If you just joined the signals service you would probably be frustrated with
the low number of trades and small profits.
But keep in mind, not every month can be a “Profit Geyser”. But to experience a “Profit Geyser” sometimes you need to suffer through
some mediocre months like these. Take my word for it, it is worth the wait!

September:
NOTE: Another decent month of trading. Very low stress trading, with only one loss. Smooth and easy profits!
October:
NOTE: Another great month. Imagine, just spending a few minutes a month, and making these kinds of profits.
November:

NOTE: Not many trades and a small losing month. It happens. Not every month can be a “Profit Geyser”. It is best you understand this
from the beginning.
December:
NOTE: The year ends with another winning month! If you have been with the service since the start, you should have some excellent profits
in your trading account.
IMPORTANT: It is beneficial to go over these trades
and understand how it is to trade signals like
these. You cannot get upset about losing trades…
they happen. You cannot get upset about losing
months… they happen.
What is important is the winning trades and winning
months more than make up for the losses… making this
a very profitable way of trading.
How Much Money Can You Make
This is really what people want to know, isn’t it? People trade Forex to make money. And people join signals services to make money. So, this is a reasonable question. The problem is, this is a question that is impossible to answer.
Set And Forget Forex Signals: “2015 Performance Report”
© 2015 Set And Forget Forex Signals - All Rights Reserved. http://www.SetAndForgetForexSignals.com
Page 18
You see, everyone trading the signals will have different size accounts, different risk tolerances, different money management strategies and will join the service at different times. With all these variables, it is impossible to say how much money you would make. Plus, there is no way to tell with certainty what the future will hold. Some years will be better and some worse than this Case Study for 2015. So, stop trying to predict exactly what you will make.
A better use of your time is looking at your Forex trading in a way that makes it feel like you are being well compensated for your efforts. Let’s get some numbers for reference.
If you traded $1 per pip, you would have made $8,920. If you traded $5 per pip, you would have made $44,600. If you traded $10 per pip, you would have made $89,200.
The trading of the signals can be done in 10 minutes a trading day. With an average of 20 trading days a month, you are going to be trading around 240 days a year. 10 minutes x 240 days = 2400 minutes a year (which 40 hours). You are only trading 40 hours a YEAR.
If you made $8,920, that is $223.00 an HOUR! If you made $44,600, that is $1,115.00 an HOUR!
If you made $89,200, that is $2,230.00 an HOUR! Now I don’t know about you, or what type of money you make working your “day job”. But I think these hourly wages are fantastic. And when you look at what can be accomplished with so little effort… Forex trading can be the BEST use of your time for wealth building.
