Caliber FX Pro – Portfolio Robots

Diversification in is one of the keys to successful trading, whether that be via

manual or robot trading. Diversification means you are ‘not putting your eggs in

the one basket’ and are taking positions simultaneously in other markets

offsetting potential risk.

The Caliber FX Pro was designed and optimally performs on the USDJPY currency

pair, but has also been optimized to also trade on the GBPUSD and EURUSD pair.

Caliber FX Pro Trading System Indicators

• MT4 (custom) ZigZag Indicator

• MT4 (custom) OsMA Indicator

Predominately the Caliber Robot follows a Trading System that is based upon two

MetaTrader 4 custom indicators called the ZigZag Indicator and the OsMA

Indicator.

ZigZag Indicator

The Zigzag Indicator (red zigzag line) is a good visual indicator of the main overall

trend movement of the price movement of a market via identifying peaks and

troughs, but isn’t the best type of indicator to determine an entry into the market.

Therefore we have introduced the OsMA indicator for pin pointing the entries and

exits. The MT4 OsMA is used as over bought and oversold indicator.

So two very nice and simple indicators have been added to the chart.

Both of these indicators can be found within MT4 – Insert/Indicators/Custom...

Now the combination of the Entries, Exits, Take Profit with Risk and Money

Management...

Caliber FX Pro Trading System

Long Entry Overview

Essentially the robot is looking for the simultaneous event of both the ZigZag

indictor must be pointing upward whilst there is ‘x’ number of UP OsMA bars (this

number of bars varies depending on the different currency pair defaults).

Short Entry Overview

Just the opposite of the long entry, here the robot is looking for the simultaneous

event of both the ZigZag indictor must be pointing downward whilst there is ‘x’

number of DOWN OsMA bars (this number of bars varies depending on the

different currency pairs).

Final Exit

The robot will make the final exit when there is ‘X’ input number of OsMA bars

into the opposite direction of the trade. Eg; A long trade would mean the trade

would exit when there are ‘X’ number of down OsMA bars.

INPUTS

Portfolio Robot DEFAULTS

Money Management

This setting must be on TRUE to work, otherwise the LOT setting will dominate.

Risk management is the most important component to trading. It is always best

to work on the basis of a “worst case scenario” and this is managed through your

‘position sizing’.

In the FX Caliber there are two settings which can be used to determine the

POSITION SIZING that the robot will take on each new trade.

1. RISK % 2. or standard LOTS

Risk %

The RISK – the FX Caliber default is set on 2%.

This means that the robot will automatically calculate the appropriate number of

Lots it enters into for every new trade according to the newest account balance

after the last trade.

For example, If your starting balance is $5,000 and your risk is set at 2% this means

for each trade you do not want to risk more than $100 on each trade. If the Stop

Loss was set to 100 pips from the entry, and if your Accounts pip value is 10cents

per pip movement, then your risk is $10 per every 1 lot (100x 10ct).

Then the robot calculates; $100 divided by $10 = 10 Lots it can enter into.

If your trade is profitable and you make a $200 profit – on the next trade the robot

automatically makes the same calculation but on the new $5,200 balance.

This is the better setting as you know exactly how much of your account you are

risking on each trade and when successful the new position size is compounded

and should you have a run of losses the robot reduces the position sizing so that

you keep within balance. Turn the default figure down if 2% is too much.

To use the Risk % you need the MONEY MANAGEMENT to be set to TRUE to work

– otherwise the Lot setting will dominate.

Lots

The Standard LOTS gives you the ability to override the RISK % setting – make sure

you set the MONEY MANAGEMENT to False for this to become active.

This means your EA will continuously purchase the same number of lots that you

have requested for each trade until instructed otherwise.

Hidden Stops

This setting is for traders should they wish to hide their stop losses from Brokers.

Stop Loss

As soon as the Caliber Robot takes a new trade it will immediately place a Stop

Loss to the order at ‘X’ pips from the entry price (X = the default setting each

particular EA currency pair).

This means should the market go against you at some point and reach that

distance the trade will automatically be closed out.

Profit Target

The Caliber Robot will also Take Profit and capture half of the positions profits by

closing out half (50%) of your Lots when it reaches the ‘X’ pip Profit Target. This is

great in fast moving markets that may suddenly reverse.

So for the USDJPY Caliber if you took 2 Lots for a trade and the value per pip was

$1. That means your total risk on the trade is $200 (100 pip SL x $1 x 2).

Once the market reaches the 200 pip Profit Target (should the Break Even tool not

be used...see next page), the Caliber Robot automatically closes out 1 Lot (50%)

and that means you now have $200 in the bank. The remaining risk is now left at

the 1 remaining lot with the Stop Loss still 100 pips from the entry price ($100). So

your $200 profit covers the $100 remaining risk plus puts $100 profit into your

pocket should the initial Stop Loss be hit.

Use Trailing Stop and Trailing Stop

Although the default settings do not require the trailing stop loss for peak

performance, this function is there for traders who would like to use a trailing

stop loss for peace of mind and lock in profits earlier.

Just remember that at times a trailing stop loss can hinder good trades by being

too close to the market price action.

Break Even Trigger

The Caliber Robot also has further built in optional profit protection and risk

minimisation tools, this one comes in the form of moving the Stop Loss to break

even (entry price) when a certain level of profit has been reached.

The USDJPY Caliber has been programmed with a 40 pip profit breakeven point.

So once the market has moved 40 pips into profit the Stop Loss is immediately

brought up to the entry price protecting the position should the market suddenly

reverse.

ECN Brokers

If your broker is an ECN broker ensure this is set to TRUE

5 Digit Brokers

If your broker displays prices with 5 digits (# of digits after decimal point for all

pairs except USDJPY) ensure this is set to TRUE.

Optimization Course Defaults

As mentioned, the performance results for the Caliber are for the 12 month period

of 2009, (all input settings are noted further below for 2009). We also include the

2010 settings below too. For any traders who have purchased the Optimization

Course these are the default settings for each pair so you now have the ability to

optimize the entire robot. Most of the advanced EA input settings are ‘hidden’ but

an ‘unlocked’ version of the Caliber EA comes with the EA Optimization Course

which teaches you how to continually optimize the EA to best performance over

changing market conditions and even tune to any currency pair. OPTIMIZATION

Forex Market Overview

• Currencies values are forever fluctuating, their value is measured up to

another currency; the two currencies together are referred to as a “pair”.

• There are two groups of “pairs” – the Majors and the Crosses. These two

names distinguish the difference between the more popular (the Majors)

and the less traded (the Crosses).

• Pairs are abbreviated, for example the Euro Dollar against the US Dollar is

displayed as EUR/USD. The first currency, eg the EUR, is the “base”

currency and the second currency, the USD, is the “counter” currency.

• The Majors are; EUR/USD, AUD/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, NZD/USD,

USD/CAD, USD/CHF.

• The quotation of the price in Forex is either in 4 decimals or 5 decimals. So

quite different to the usual 2 decimals we are used to in normal everyday

money exchange. Normally if something was priced at $1.50 and increased

in price by 1 cent the new price would be $1.51. But in currencies this 1 cent

increase is actually a massive move in forex trading and is actually quoted

as 100 “pips”.

• Price movement is quoted in PIPs, which is short for ‘Price in Points’ and are

only a fraction of a cent (1 hundredth of a cent), so are quite tiny and the

very reason for the requirement of such large leverage in Forex trading to

make the profits on these small price movements worthy.

• Prices are displayed with 4 digits like this; 1.5000. Some Brokers quote in 5

digits for more accuracy in price quotation; 1.50000.

The PIP is read as the last digit on the right, so if the market

increased by 4 pips the price would now be quoted as;

1. 5004

If the market increased by 100 pips the markets new price

would be displayed instead as;

1.5100

The only differently quoted currency is the Japanese Yen

which looks like this:

104.50

• The Leverage is a great attraction of forex – this means you put down a

small deposit to trade larger sums of borrowed currency – so this opens

this investment vehicle up to smaller investors. But remember, be smart

with your leveraging, do not go beyond your knowledge!

• Another exciting feature is that the potential risk in forex trading is

‘limited’. This means at the very maximum you can only lose the balance of

your trading account. I know that still may sound significant, especially if

you had quite a few thousand dollars in there – but my point is, other

instruments like Futures and Derivatives can run the account into the red, a

negative balance. (A stop loss is a safety mechanism where your trade is

automatically liquidated should the market go against you and reach

predetermined exit level).

• As a trader, it is your responsibility to ensure that your positions are

monitored. Should they get close to your Brokers margin policy minimum

then you need to either put more capital into your account, or increase your

leverage (which decreases your margin).Some brokers will close out all

your positions regardless if they are a losing trade or in profit – so be

mindful of this and check out your brokers margin policy carefully,

otherwise you would be very disappointed to be closed out of a good

trade, one that could have made up for the losses of the bad ones that

brought you into the losing situation in the first place. Your trading

platform may have an alert system that makes you aware your account is

getting low, however when the markets are moving fast there may not be

enough time for you to make any adjustments.

• Currencies are traded by ‘Lots’ and these determine the value of the pip

movement. The size of each lot depends on what type of trading account

you have opened; a Standard account or a Mini account or a Micro Account

or a Learner Account. The difference between them is the minimum lot

sizes available to trade.

� Standard Account minimum is 100,000 currency units (1 lot),

value per pip movement = $10.

� Mini Account minimum is 10,000 currency units (1 lot), value

per pip movement = $1.

� Micro Account minimum is 1,000 currency units (1 lot) , value

per pip movement = 10 cents.

� Learner Account minimum is 100 currency units (1 lot) , value

per pip movement = 1 cent.

• No Commissions or Brokerage! Well the brokers actually make their money

through the “spread” is how the brokers make their money. When trading

stocks both a spread and brokerage are charged to the trader. But the main

cost to a currency trader is the spread. Spreads are generally not fixed so

can widen during times when news is released and there is high market

activity, so is not a defined amount. Some Forex brokers do charge a flat

brokerage rate so the charge is a little more transparent. The dealing

spread is the price difference between the Bid and the Ask.

� The BID is the price that the Trader SELLS to the Broker and

which the broker BUYS from the Trader for.

� The ASK is the price that the Trader BUYS from the Broker and

which the broker SELLS to the Trader for.
