Ahoy there Shipmates and welcome aboard!

Im going to help you pirate some pips today... or Ill walk the plank!
Okay, enough of the pirate stuff, lets get serious...

Welcome to Forex Pip Pirate.

Yes, I know, this system has a silly name.
Dont let that fool you though Im about to show you a very simple trading
system with a very high win-rate.
Not only that but its really simple too!
It uses a standard indicator that you will find on any charting software so you
can trade it with whatever broker or charting software you use.

Now, Im really not big into writing; so Im going to keep this manual short and
simple.
This is the plan:
1)
2)
3)
4)

Well setup the charts

Ill explain the strategy and how we enter and exit trades
Ill go through a few examples to make sure you understand fully
I then want you to jump in and start trading it right away!

Heres some good news for you. No, actually, heres some great news for you...
Forex Pip Pirate works on all timeframes. Thats right, its pretty much
universal. Well, within reason, I mean dont go off and start scalping the 1minute right from the start (its damn tricky!).
Make it easier for yourself and stick to higher timeframes.
Ill give you two tips for trading intraday:
4|Page

#1 Stick to 15-min and above.

#2 Try and only trade during the London and US sessions youll win more
trades that way (although, the Asian session is good for AUD, NZD and JPY
pairs!).

Lets setup our charts!

5|Page

Chart Setup
Im going to show you how to setup the charts on Metatrader4.
This is the platform that most traders are used to and almost all brokers
provide a demo account for free.
Well start with a clean chart:

6|Page

We then drag the MACD indicator on to the chart and enter the following
settings:
Slow EMA : 5
Fast EMA : 3
MACD SMA : 3

7|Page

Next we add another MACD indicator this time with the following settings:
Slow EMA : 26
Fast EMA : 12
MACD SMA : 9
(NOTE: These are the default MACD settings on almost all MACD indicators)

8|Page

You chart should now look something like this:

Thats us done in setting up our charts simple, just like I said.

NOTE:
Ive removed the default Simple Moving Average line from both MACD
indicators as its not required.
Ive also changed the colours and bar widths so that they are easier to see.

Lets learn the Forex Pip Pirate system!

The Forex Pip Pirate Rules

Now, my fellow Pip Pirates...
You wont believe how simple these rules are honestly!
They may seem even too simple, so I highly recommend that once you have
finished reading this manual you go and check your charts.
Thats right I want you to go and see how effective this system really is!
There are just three rules for entry; and one rule for exit.

10 | P a g e

Entry
Rule #1
- We only BUY when the lower MACD (thats the one with the 12,26,9
settings) is ABOVE the 0.0 line.
- We only SELL when the lower MACD is BELOW the 0.0 line.
Heres what I mean:

11 | P a g e

Rule #2
If the lower MACD is ABOVE the 0.0 line we look for the upper MACD (thats
the one with settings 3,5,3) to cross BELOW the 0.0 line and then ABOVE the
0.0 line.
Like this:

12 | P a g e

It is the exact opposite for a sell signal.

If the lower MACD is BELOW the 0.0 line we look for the upper MACD to cross
ABOVE the 0.0 line and then cross back down BELOW the 0.0 line.
Like this:

13 | P a g e

Rule #3
Once we have Rule #1 and Rule #2 met we are then finally triggered into a
trade if Rule #3 is met.
- If we get BUY on Rules #1 and #2, we are ready to buy, but we only buy if
the close is in the upper quarter of the candle.
- If we get a SELL on Rules #1 and #2, we are ready to sell, but we only sell if
the close is in the lower quarter of the candle.
See this example of a valid BUY signal:

14 | P a g e

This is an example of two invalid BUY signals:

Thats all there is to the rules!

Well now cover the exits...

15 | P a g e

Exit
The Stoploss
The stoploss is very easy.
All we do is place it a few pips below the low of our BUY candle; or place is a
few pips above the high of our SELL candle.
A couple of examples:

16 | P a g e

Easy, eh?

17 | P a g e

The Take Profit

As you can expect from me now the exit is as simple as everything else we
have done so far.
Where you take profit on a trade depends on how many lots YOU are trading.
If you can only trade 1 lot on your account then you will exit when your profit
is equal to the number of pips you risked. For example:

This is a great exit method that will give you a high percentage of winners.

18 | P a g e

Now, if you can trade two lots, you can exit the first lot at 1x the stoploss; and
exit the second lot at 2x the stoploss. Like this:

If you three lots then you would exit the first at 1:1, the second at 2:1 and the
third at 3:1.
I dont think I need to show an example of that as Im sure you understand the
exit method now.
NOTE: WHEN YOU EXIT THE FIRST LOT AT 1:1 THEN MODIFY THE STOPLOSS
ON THE REMAINING LOT(S) TO YOUR ENTRY PRICE!

I recommend limiting your maximum take-profit to 2:1 or 3:1.

So, lets say you trade nine lots, you could take profit if three lots at 1:1
(remember to change the stoploss on the remaining six lots to your entry
price!), another three lots at 2:1 and the final three lots at 3:1.
Ill like to say here that I recommend you try various exit strategies yourself
just to help your trading skills and knowledge in general.
19 | P a g e

You will see that Forex Pip Pirate manages to pick very good entries for you.
In all honesty, you can pretty much exit using any reasonable method you have
ever learned and it will work really!
Just be consistent in the exit method that you choose. Stick to it for every
trade!

20 | P a g e

Real Trading
Im not sure I really need to go through any real trades for you as the system
really is simple to trade.
Youve understood it completely so far, right?
Well, just in case, Ill run through a few trades...

As I write this it is early (too early! ) on the morning of the 12th of July 2011.
Lets start with the 5-min chart of EUR/USD from yesterday.
The following three charts show the London session and the start of US session
(this is all I trade I generally dont trade the afternoon US session):

21 | P a g e

22 | P a g e

As I said previously, the Asian session is good for AUD, NZD and JPY pairs.
Heres the AUD/USD during Asia last night:

Im sure youve got a good idea of how Forex Pip Pirate works now.

23 | P a g e

Shiver My Timbers!
Thats it Shipmates I told you it would be short and simple.
Now, of course I recommend that you start trading right away.
But, I recommend you take a look through your charts too; Im confident you
will like what you see right away.
Forex Pip Pirate is simple (as youve seen!).
But it is very effective too as you can hopefully see also.

I have to lift anchor and set sail now.

I hope youve attained what you wanted from this system.
I want to wish you the greatest success in your trading.
Thank you - Bill Black Beard Jackson
