After creating several automated trading systems and extensive research, LW Trading designed and developed the A strategy, composed of two systems based on very successful equities
approaches. Cost averaging is explicitly avoided in this scalping program. The main short-term price action based strategy system is designed to utilize a target of up to 10% of the balance at a time.
The target max drawdown is planned to be less than 20%. The strategy generally uses tight stop losses and take profits, however, positions are also closed via trade management and it is rare to hit
the stop. The LW Trading team has been primarily focused on trading in currencies for the last four years including EUR/USD, USD/CHF, USD/CAD and USD/JPY pairs and will, at times, include
GBP and NZD pairs. LW Trading’s O strategy focuses on EUR/USD, GBP/USD and AUD/USD pairs. After creating several automated trading systems and performing extensive research for others,
LW designed and developed their own automatic trading platform. The 'O' strategy is a mixed system which includes several strategies including pullback, breakout and scalping. The different systems
open positions on different conditions in order to hedge risk. LW optimizes the system according their backtest and forward test on each sub-strategy. They aim to control the drawdown of each sub
system to less than 6%-8% and limit the max loss of a single trade to less than 2%. LW Trading targets maximum drawdown of no more than 20%. The strategy operates with a maximum of 8
positions open at any time. The strategy typically executes 3 to 10 trades per day with leverage of 1:1 to 5:1. LW Trading’s Q strategy, called “Beyond Manual” is based on classic harmonic patterns
including Gartley, Butterfly, Crab, Bat and Cypher, and also some new harmonic patterns. The strategy opens positions when the harmonic patterns are observed and targets no more than five open
positions at a time. Leverage is typically 5:1 with a target maximum of 20:1. This manual system trades mainly on EUR/USD and aims to contain drawdown to no more than 20%. The lead trader at
