Here's the chart showing the progress of our AUDUSD signal. Our subscribers are given our simple rules for entry. The market does not move in a straight line, it creates corrections. These corrections start when large institutions take some of their profit, and orders are collected. Large institutions will add to their investments, and retail traders will join the trend. These correction structures are very well documented online, but it is our system that is the only system that creates a secure entry, a sensible stop loss, and a wise risk reward ratio. Combine all that with our volume profiling and that is the reason that our subscribers have not hit a stop loss since May 2025. If you would like to receive signals such as this then please follow the link. https://etaforex.com/collections/all If you would like to learn our system then you have the opportunity to join our Academy, and be amongst like minded people, where the environment is very much of a Trading Family. We teach all of our students LIVE, plus once a week there is a Live trading session where the whole group comes together.
