Course Description

In this course the winner of a recent international Forex trading competition (860% return in 2 months) openly reveals and shares all the techniques, strategies, tools and approaches used that gave him the edge to nose ahead of the competition by almost 200%. He did not use rocket science, so after doing this course there should be no reason why your own Forex trading should not take a quantum leap forward in the next year.

This course is presented by his mentor Alex du Plooy and the content comes from numerous email, Skype and Team Viewer conversation sessions. He has known and been mentored by Alex for over 5 years.

The content of the course be simple and clear and should motivate and inspire you to achieve improved Forex trading results. It mainly consist of videos and quizzes. Many example and explanations are given as well as an analysis of the winning trading statement

The winner takes you through the process of preparing himself mentally, psychologically for the competition. He knew the tools, rules, strategies to be used, currency to be traded even before the competition. After that is was a case of merely implementing his strategy using specific tools to guide and assist in planning deals. When sticky situations developed he worked his way out of them as his strategy and risk management was decided before the time.

There are 100’s of basic and advanced trading lessons scattered throughout this course.

Major techniques and approaches you will learn are:

  • How to select currencies
  • How important it is to be psychologically prepared for Forex trading
  • How important it is to be the master of your trading tools – not their slave
  • How important it is to have a very clear and complete strategy covering all eventualities before starting to trade.
  • How easy it is to get the direction right most of the time with a free Trading technique
  • How to use a 3 dimensional view of the Forex Market to enter and monitor your trades.
  • How to be use position sizing to leverage gains and reduce losses
  • How to use Gap sizes to leverage gains and reduce losses
  • How to manage trading risk by managing the number of open deals at any one time
  • How to know when to stop trading and take a rest.
  • How to know when to trade aggressively and take full advantage of trends
  • How simple a successful trading strategy really can be
  • ………..and much more

The Course includes the Grid Trend Multiplier EA and the Multiple Moving Average strategy used by the trader to guide him as to which strategies to use during the competition. These tools along with other techniques helped him only trade of the markets major trends and to get out of the market quickly when this trends reversed or slowed down.

Although the Forex trading competition required the use of a GTM EA the principles above apply to Forex trading in general and can be used for most Forex trading techniques.

An excellent course, very well delivered. Alex du Plooy has enjoyed considerable success in his corporate and business enterprises. He is a superb tutor and very knowledgable in all matters relating to forex trading. This is the first time I have taken a course offered by Alex du Plooy and with doubt, I would heartily recommend it.

By Wilmont Clementson on 6/8/2019

Just started with sections 2 of the course, and already such a lot of good take aways and confirmations. Just 2 weeks ago I was thinking why not trade the EA during specific conditions e.g. trade a trending EA during a trending phase only or trade an EA meant for consolidation trading during those market phases only. How great to have this confirmed in the winners opening statement. I think there will be a lot of value in this course. Another excellent course Alex. Keep up the good work.

I have done a number (most) of Alex's Udemy courses and follow him elsewhere as well. He is extremely helpful and gives in abundance. The in.formation is concise, not full of marketing hype and superlatives. AND it works. (It is a question whether I work, but that is a discipline issue.) When I follow Alex, my small account grows. The presentation is concise, to the point and professional. Alex know his topic and obviously has a lot of experience. Thank goodness he is not another presenter trying to imitate a clown. Alex, you are putting me on the road to Forex success. I am thankful and appreciate what you do.

By Janco Moolman on 6/23/2018

This course was very informative. Beside understanding the GTM EA, some important trading tools are also explained which was probably some of the highlights for me. The tools explained in this EA are tools that could/should be considered in almost every trade taken. Thanks for this course Alex. I can't wait to start putting the knowledge I've gained to real world application.

By Sunny Ho on 12/16/2017

Alex is an experienced trader himself and also a good presenter. He has made many presentations which I have found very relevant to practical application in live trading. This course about the GTM EA is high quality as usual. It shows a very practical way to combine manual trading skill and automated trading by using this EA. The course is also based on the successful story of the winner who managed to grow the account +800% in 2 months during the GTM trading competition. Alex explained basically every details on the choice of currency pair, watching the development of the trend and managing the lot size along the go. This provides a very good real life example that the student can follow and practice either with a demo or real account. I think this course is wonderful. Definitely 5 stars.

By John Hayward on 11/25/2017

An excellent course explaining the GTM strategy in detail. This is a strategy I had not heard of, and I am looking forward to downloading the EA and trying it out. I had already completed the MMA course, but this is a very useful bonus for traders who have not. I would strongly recommend this course.

By Thomas Krebs on 3/24/2017

i think it is not the way that i will trade in future. however the contents have been quite inspiring. i got the course for a huge discount and finally paid 10,- euro. you can't do anything wrong for that price. by the way an ea is included which usually costs alone without the course much more. i probably won't use it. but who knows for what it might be useful one day. thanks alex!

By Jason Dookeran on 3/22/2017

It gives a lot of information that an intermediate trader is supposed to know, but the thing is not a whole lot of places teach you what you're "supposed to know." In that sense it's priceless because it gives you information that you would have had to figure out yourself without anyone to confirm or deny it. In essence it can save a couple hundred hours in paper trading by simply letting you understand the methodology used here.

By Brian Galante on 4/11/2016

This course is well thought out and thoroughly explained. The method of using the moving averages is one that I had never seen before, and I anticipate it being very helpful in my future trading. The Grid Trend Multiplier software, included in the course, is another new and effective addition to anyone's trading arsenal. Thank you!

By James Brown on 2/16/2016

As I am already a purchaser of this particular EA, I bought this course thinking it may show me some new strategies/ideas on how to use this EA. The course is very basic and actually shows nothing new and very disappointing to say the least. Just some very basic trend identification technique using moving averages, and then going in bigger (too big??) when the trend is stronger. Fine if you are in a trading competition using multiple demo accounts, but I don't think it is good advice for a trader trading off a live account. A little misleading. Requested a refund. Thanks.
