Does the LMT Forex Formula really work? Does it identify high probability trading set-ups that give you huge profit potential?
Trading the forex currency markets is one of the most interesting, yet also one of the most excitingly boring professions in the world. And that’s probably when you are doing it right. 
I’m using the LMT Forex Formula system to identify high probability trade set-ups that run with the trend for larger profit potential. In the course of trading with the LMT Forex Formula, I realized that a lot of the things that I take for granted aren’t covered in the manual. Skills like:
- The ability to identify Support and Resistance Levels
- Reading candlesticks to identify high probability market turning points
- Being able to identify trends and trading ranges
- And a host of other skills that I’m probably not even aware of when I look at the charts, like Elliott Waves, Momentum, Market Psychology, etc.
But then again, you probably don’t even need to confuse yourself with trading knowledge that like to be profitable. Sometimes, I have to be consciously aware to not let existing knowledge interfere with the current trading system rules!
Does this mean that the LMT Forex Formula is a flop?
Far from it. I believe that the LMT Forex System by Dean Saunders gives you a very solid and robust trading system for high probability trades. The element, in my personal opinion, that makes Dean Saunder’s Forex Formula a very good forex trading system is the custom indicator that calculates the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on market volatility.
Together with those elements, and the trade management strategy of when to move your stop losses and close out your trade for profits, makes the LMT Forex Formula a very powerful forex trading strategy.
On the other hand, it doesn’t mean that purchasing the system will make you a very profitable trader straight away. Like all things, there is the ability to manage your emotions and trading decisions.
Here’s a trade on the EURCAD that the LMT Forex Formula system identified. I was already in another trade at that time, and didn’t take this one. But here’s what it looks like:
Managing the Trade with the LMT Forex Formula System
These were the following levels based on the LMT Custom Indicator:
- Initial Stop Loss: 115 Pips
- First Target: 58 Pips
If you followed the rules on this, you would either have made a profit or had broke even on this trade.
It would have been nice to be still in this trade as it approaches the floor of the trading range (in yellow), but sometimes that’s just the way things are. If you had followed the rules right to the letter, the market ticked right to your exact Stop Loss level once you moved the stop to Break-Even (based on the first target level) before heading back downwards.
But that’s the breaks as a trader. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t. But if you follow Warren Buffet’s trading rules, I believe that with a solid trading system you’ll end up profitable in the long run.
Oh yeah, what’s Warren Buffet’s rule about investing money?
Rule No. 1: Don’t Lose Money.
Rule No 2: Look at Rule #1.
