Imagine a future where... You live in the house of your dreams. You dine at the best restaurants in town. You take long expensive luxurious holidays. Your family s future is financially secure and you certainly don t need to waste your time with a 9-5 job because money is abundant. Does that sound good?

The Best Time to Trade The best time to trade using the ForesightFx methodology is between 6am GMT and 1pm GMT. This is when the markets are at their most predictable. At 1pm 2pm GMT the USA market opens and things become much more volatile. You can still trade outside of our recommended hours but we urge you to do so with extreme caution. Always check for news reports and keep a close eye on the ForesightFX confirmations (MACD, Moving Averages, Elliot Waves, Pivot Steps) which you will learn about in the rest of this guide. No Trade Days: Newbies Vs Advanced Traders Carlos is fond of saying: We trade with the trend, because the trend is our friend! What this really means is that we only trade when there is a very clear upward or downward trend in progress. We do not trade in a sideways market. We trade with the trend in order to ensure a high probability of our trade working out as expected. This sometimes causes us to have days where we literally cancel our plans to trade and stay out of the market until a much clearer trend is apparent. These are known as No Trade days. New traders typically dislike these No Trade days because they feel they have to be in the markets as much as possible to be a real trader (whatever that is). More advanced traders, especially those who have lost a lot in the past, tend to understand and respond better to No Trade days. They understand that avoiding volatile or uncertain situations is just as important to your monthly bottom line profit as entering winning situations. That is a professional traders mentality. Please understand that the purpose of No Trade days is to ensure you get to keep as much of your capital as possible. Individual wins and losses are largely irrelevant how much you take home at the end of the month is what really matters. When there is a No Trade day, Carlos will still make a forecast video so you can understand the thinking behind the decision and learn from it. 6 P a g e
How to Read the ForesightFX Forecast Page Below I will take you through the various sections of the forecast page. This is the page you will use most as a member. This is where all of the components for that days trading strategy are laid out. 1. BUY/SELL Instruction This is found at the very top of the forecast page. This section enables you to see at a glance which currency trades we will be looking to participate in that day. It also tells us whether the probabilities lie with a buy or sell set up. Knowing this immediately gives you a trading advantage. You now know with good probability which way the markets are likely to move for a particular currency on that day. This is what that sections looks like: 2. Daily Forecast videos These can be found just below the BUY/SELL instruction. In these videos Carlos gives his analysis from the previous day of trading. This allows you to get a deep insight into how you should have traded and allows you to understand where you might have gone wrong if things didn t go to plan. Carlos then moves on to his forecast for that day ahead and explains how you should manage your trades. 7 P a g e
Watching these videos is crucial because Carlos will give extra insights and training that the numbers listed on the page won t reveal. Having access to these videos is like having a coach or mentor. You are getting insights from a 20 year professional who trades for a living. The videos look like this (below) on the page. Just click on them to play. If you click the icon in the bottom right corner of the videos (two diagonal arrows) the videos will play in full screen. Just to the left of that is the volume control. 8 P a g e
(Please note: if you are having any trouble watching the videos please try another browser). 3. Synergy Zone This is the highly calculated area where price is most likely to hit and change direction. Carlos works out the parameters for this area every day for members (provided it s not a no trade day). He lists the details in the forecast area the night before trading. The Synergy Zone is calculated using pure price action activity. It is not based on news reports or anything like that. It is a complex calculation that has been allowing us to predict market movements for years. Later on we ll show you in more detail how to use the Synergy Zone for maximum effect. This is where you find that information on the forecast page (outlined in red): You will see how to plot this on your chart later in this guide. 4. Targets These are highly calculated areas where price is likely to reach after changing direction. This is worked out using Carlos s own methodology which relies on price action activity. We have three targets where price is likely to reach. Since the probability of reaching each 9 P a g e
target decreases as price moves through them, knowing where they are allows us to manage our money by decreasing our contract sizes as we progress from one target to the next. We will cover this in more detail later in this guide. You will find the targets as shown below on the forecast page (outlined in red): 5. News Releases Calendar News releases can disrupt the market and throw our price action based forecasts out of kilter. Therefore we recommend you trade between 6am GMT and 2pm GMT. This is when the markets are at their most stable and predictable. However, sometimes you may want to hold trades longer. In these cases it is important to check for news releases that could affect your trades. The link to the calendar can be found at the bottom of the forecast page. The Steps to Success with ForesightFX In the following sections I will take you through the daily process you will need to go through in order to trade successfully with us. I will also take you through 10 P a g e
possible scenarios that are likely to come up. Once you understand everything you might want to change things around to suit your own style. Please note that the steps below might seem complicated when you first look over them but but in reality (after a bit of practice) you will find setting up the charts takes no more than a few minutes per chart. After that you simply need to keep an eye on price action in order to find a trigger for a buy or sell opportunity. Please don t worry if this doesn t make sense yet, it will all fall into place as we progress. This guide is really intended to be an overview of the basics in order to get you up to speed and allow you to join in with trading as soon as possible. However, the really powerful knowledge and insights will come via the daily forecasts available to all members and the further training videos in the VIP training section of the website which are only available to full ForesightFX members. So let s get down to business... Step 1: Getting the Forecast Email Alert The daily process normally begins with an email from Carlos Diaz and it will look something like this: Open that email. It is there to let you know the daily forecast is ready. The email should always arrive well before 6am GMT. If for any reason you do not get the email just login to the membership anyway and see if we have trading set ups for the day laid out on the forecast page. Step 2: Plot the Synergy Zone In order to plot the Synergy Zone on your own MT4 chart simply follow the instructions below. 11 P a g e
2.1. Copy the figure you find on the forecast page in the Synergy Zone section that relates to the pair you are looking at (just highlight the number, right click on it and select copy ). 2.2. Go to your MT4 chart and select the horizontal line drawing tool from the tool bar at the top. 2.3. Click on the chart to draw your horizontal line. Then double click on the line you just created. Then click on the small box at the end of the line (to the right) to bring up the options. Select Horizontal Line Properties. Add the figure you copied over from the Synergy Zone section of the forecast page as shown below. Click on the tab called Common if you wish to change the colour of the lines. 12 P a g e
2.4. Repeat this with the second figure in the Synergy Zone line (for the pair you are concentrating on) so you have two horizontal lines across your chart. 2.5. Select insert in the menu bar and scroll down to shapes. Then select the rectangle drawing tool. You can now draw a rectangle in between your plotted Synergy Zone lines. Put this rectangle starting at 8am GMT and finishing around 2pm GMT (you can use any colour you like). This is your Synergy Zone for that day and should price hit this area it is highly likely to change direction. The example below shows how this might look for a potential SELL set up. What if there is no Synergy Zone but Carlos indicates a Pivot Step Entry? If Carlos indicates a Pivot Step Entry without a Synergy Zone you can skip the steps mentioned above. We will discuss that situation on page 24. Step 3: Plot the targets Now we have the Synergy Zone plotted it s time to plot three targets for the currency pair we re working on. Follow the instructions below to achieve this: 2.1. Highlight and right click to copy the figure given for the first target on the forecast page. 13 P a g e
2.2. Go over to MT4 and use the horizontal line drawing tool as we did earlier (when drawing the Synergy Zone lines). Input the figure as before to get your first target in the right place. 2.3. Repeat this process for the second and third targets also. The example below shows how your chart might look after the Synergy Zone has been hit in a SELL set up and price is moving towards the targets. Step 4: Watch the video Watch the video and make notes on what Carlos recommends for that day of trading. Many key insights are shared in these videos so it pays to give them your full attention, even on no trade days. It is especially important to watch the video if Carlos has indicated a Pivot Step Entry without the Synergy Zone. 14 P a g e
Please don t worry if you find the forecasts confusing at first (especially if you are new to trading and ForesightFX). Carlos is an advanced trader and is sharing some high level strategies in these videos so it might take little getting used to. However, we find over and over again that traders who stick with it and give it their full attention quickly get used to the forecast videos and start to profit as a result. Important note: Now that we are set up we need to look for triggers to enter trades. In the following sections (Step 5-7) we will be looking at various indicators that we use as confirmation to help us find potential triggers/entries to get into trades. Please note that most indicators are lagging indicators. This means they are providing information that is not up to date. In turn this can cause traders to make decisions based on old/incorrect metrics. Inside ForesightFX we have unique insights that transform lagging indicators into leading indicators. This means we can use these tools to help us predict market movements and confirm that our predictions are correct. That is what we ll be looking at in the next steps. Step 5: Omegavus MACD Confirmation The MACD we use inside ForesightFX has been specially modified for our needs and is only available to full members. If you are not a full member but would like to get this MACD you can upgrade your membership by using the upgrade options inside the ForesightFX back office. Once there you will also find full instructions on how to set up the MACD and more insights on how to use it. Even if you are not a full member, this next section is still useful as Carlos will often show the MACD in his forecast explanations. How the MACD works The MACD we use has two levels on it. The 80 line and the 20 line. You can see them marked below. In order to get the most accurate results we use the 4 hour chart. Below is an example of how it looks on your chart, underneath the main price action graph. 15 P a g e
The MACD is really there to help us identify major trends before they happen. I have outlined the steps below that are needed to identify these potential trends: 5.1. If you are looking to confirm the market tendency for a potential bullish scenario (a turn to the upside) you should expect to see the blue line cross the red line below the 20 line like this. 16 P a g e
5.2. If you are looking for a potential bearish scenario (turn to the downside) you should expect to see the red line cross the blue line above the 80 line like this. Step 6: Moving Averages Confirmation The next step in confirming whether or not you have a potential entry into a trade is to look at the moving averages. Follow the steps outlined below to get them set up for the ForesightFX trading methodology: 17 P a g e
6.1. If you don t have moving averages showing on your MT4 chart simply move your mouse over to the Navigator section on the left side of your MT4 and find the section on Moving Averages. Once you have it in your sights, you simply drag it onto your chart. 6.2. Click on the red line and enter the figure 34 in the box marked Period. 6.3. Do the same as mentioned above for the blue line but enter the number 8 instead of 34 in the box marked period. Your chart should now look something like this: How to read the Moving Averages 6.4. If the blue line crosses the red line it indicates a potential BUY set up. 6.5. If the red line crossed the blue line it indicates a potential SELL set up. The best chart for analysing the Moving Averages is the 1 Hour chart. Moving Average are also lagging indicators (especially on bigger timeframes) so we are only using them to confirm what we already suspect that a potential trade set up is occurring in the direction we are anticipating. 18 P a g e
Step 7: Elliot Wave Confirmation Elliot Waves are the technical name for the way price moves up and down in wave-like shapes. In forex these waves tend to take five different moves to reach their conclusion, after which they tend to reverse. The example below shows a typical Elliot Wave pattern moving downwards. Each wave has been numbered. When using Elliot Waves as a confirmation in the ForesightFX system we simply have to zoom out and identify which wave we are on in the current set of Elliot Waves. Doing this is useful for us because we can draw certain conclusions about how price is likely to move in future if we can identify where we currently are in an Elliot Wave cycle. In a typical Elliot Wave cycle the longest waves are wave 3 and wave 5. Entering into a trade on these waves gives us the best possible chance of gaining maximum pips. In order to identify where you currently are in an Elliot Wave cycle you need to read the chart from right to left while identifying the most significant price highs and lows during a particular trend. This will allow you to figure out whether a trend is just beginning (waves 1 or 2), is in the middle (wave 3), or is coming to an end (waves 4 or 5). 19 P a g e
Having this information gives us yet another edge when trading and also adds another level of confirmation to our analysis of the market. Confirmation Strategies Insight: Each confirmation strategy discussed above gives you a small piece of the puzzle. However, when you put these three strategies together you are able to understand the market on a much deeper level. Many new and experienced traders end up losing because they do not take the time to properly analyse the market in this way. This is how professional traders operate they don t gamble, they make considered strategic moves. This is part of our core philosophy inside ForesightFX. Step 8: Pivot Step Entry When Synergy Zone is Hit Once we are confident that price is moving in the direction we want it to (based on the factors mentioned above) we can look for an entry into the trade. In this section I will walk you through the perfect scenario we are hoping for - a direct hit where price reverses from the Synergy Zone area. However, it s not just a case of price hitting the Synergy Zone that tells us to enter the market. There needs to be one more confirmation in order for us to confidently enter the trade. This is what I will explain next. The Steps Needed to Find an Entry Once Price is Inside the Synergy Zone 8.1. Select the trend line drawing tool found in the tool bar on MT4. 20 P a g e
8.2. In this example we will use an expected down trending scenario from the Synergy Zone. Find the two most significant low points on the line that has entered the Synergy Zone. They are points A and B on the example below. 8.3. Now draw a support line between those points, going through the Synergy Zone (if you were expecting to BUY would do the same thing with a resistance line). The example above also shows how this support line would look. 8.3. Once price is inside the Synergy Zone we are looking for it to significantly break the most recent trend line we have drawn. This will be our entry point into the trade and is clearly marked SELL in the example above. 21 P a g e
Step 9: What if the Synergy Zone is missed? Sometimes things just don t go to plan. That s natural, especially in trading as it is definitely not an exact science. Although we are using an accurate methodology inside ForesightFX, along with highly calculated areas and targets, we can t expect a 100% hit rate. That just isn t realistic (despite what the forex scammers might tell you about their magical systems). However, knowing what to do when things don t go as expected is the key to finding success when trading the markets. That is what we are dealing with in this section. Take a look at the example below. It shows a scenario where price didn t go into the Synergy Zone as expected, but it did hit the projected targets. Wouldn t it be great if we could enter a trade and take profits from this scenario before the targets are reached? That is what this next section is all about. As price is approaching the Synergy Zone it is worth keeping a close eye on it to see whether there will be any warning signs for a reversal before hitting the Synergy Zone. If that happens we can use the Pivot Step System to find a trade entry. Here are the steps needed in order to achieve this. 22 P a g e
9.1. Check the MACD on the 4 hour chart. Is it confirming our suspicions that the trend will move in the direction we are expecting? (See step 5 if you need a recap on how the MACD works). 9.2. Check the Moving Averages on the 1 Hour chart. Do they confirm our suspicions of the direction price is intending to move? (See step 6 if you need a recap on how this works). 9.3. Can you identify which wave of the Elliot Wave cycle we are on? Remember that waves three and five are the biggest. This might give you a clue as to what is about to happen. 9.4. If the confirmations mentioned above are looking strong, and price seems to be moving away from the Synergy Zone towards the targets you should do the following. If you have an up trending market, draw resistance lines along the top of the price bars connecting the two most significant highs. Alternatively, if you have a down trending market you will be drawing a support line along the two most significant lows. Below is an example of that kind of scenario for an up trending market. 23 P a g e
The two most significant high points on the first trend line have been circled in blue. 9.5. You are looking for a significant break of the trend line in the direction you are intending to trade. Point A represents the first potential entry into a trade in this situation. By looking at this and all of the other factors mentioned you should now decide whether or not to enter the trade. If you are not confident to enter the trade at this point, move to the next step. 9.6. It is likely that there will be a small pull back after the first break out in this kind of scenario. If you want to wait for that situation to arise and then plot your pivot step again when this pull back happens you can. This is further confirmation of what is unfolding here. This is illustrated below with the second trend line. Point B marks the next potential entry into the trade. As you can see we are using multiple levels of confirmation in order to confirm our intentions to enter a trade here. Hopefully you can see by now that we are definitely not gamblers it s all about strategy. 24 P a g e
Step 10: What if the price moves through the Synergy Zone stop loss level? If price moves through the Stop Loss level, located at the top of the Synergy Zone (as shown below), we normally cancel our trading plans for the moment. When this happens it is likely that price will move in the direction we were not expecting. Step 11: What to do if there is no Synergy Zone and Carlos recommends a Pivot Step Entry On some days Carlos will see a potential opportunity on the markets even though there is no Synergy Zone. This requires you to use the Pivot Step System to find an entry into the trade (if you feel comfortable doing so). There is video training and case studies on the Pivot Step System in the VIP videos section available to full members, so we recommend you check those out when you can. You can also watch the webinar recording available to all members too. This covers live examples of the Pivot Step System in action. When this situation occurs you will already know whether it is a BUY or SELL opportunity from the forecast and you will have targets laid out too. The next steps are really about finding an entry without having the Synergy Zone to help you. 25 P a g e
11.1. Find the last two major support points that price is giving us. Then do the same with resistance points. The example shows how this would look for a down trending market. Note that resistance points must go upwards from right to left. Support points must go downwards from right to left. 11.2. Use the trend line drawing tool to draw a line connecting the points you identified in the last step. That will look something like this. Notice how the resistance line goes up and the support line goes down when looking from right to left this will always be the case. 26 P a g e
11.3. Wait until you see a significant break of your trend line in the direction you are expecting the market to move. This is your entry point shown below. 11.4. Measure the distance between point A and point B. This will form a triangle. We can now predict that the price will move a similar distance for the next cycle. This gives us a potential target area before the next big change in the trend. The example below shows how this scenario played out in real time. Feel free to look it up on your own MT4 chart and plot the lines (27 th June 30 min chart). 27 P a g e
For a more in depth look at this please watch the webinar recording in the members area available to trial members and full members. Step 12: Stop Loss & Risk Management When using the Synergy Zone you set your Stop Loss level at the top of the zone for a SELL set up and at the bottom of the zone for a BUY set up. When using the Pivot Step System you will need to find your own Stop Loss level and decide how much risk you can afford to take on. The following steps will show you how to do that. 12.1. Find the last significant low (in an up trending market) or high (in a down trending market) on the price chart. This is shown below for a down trending market. 12.2. Decide how much capital you are willing to risk by literally giving it a dollar value. This can seem tricky but it s really just a case of asking yourself how much capital you would feel comfortable losing if things didn t work out in the way you expect. That s your worst case scenario. This will differ from 28 P a g e
trader to trader depending on account size and confidence in this particular trade. 12.3. Now measure the distance in pips between your entry point and your last significant low/high and add another twenty pips to it. 12.4. Now divide the amount of capital you can risk (found in section 12.2) by the amount of pips (found in section 12.3). This will tell you which contract size you can trade in this particular case. Example: Let s use an up trending market as an example here. You decide you can risk $150 on a trade without damaging your account or making you feel emotional about the loss of that capital. You then measure the distance between your entry point and the last significant low and find there s 47 pips between these two points. You then add 20 to that number of pips (giving you 67 pips). You set your Stop Loss 20 pips below the last significant low. You then divide the capital you can risk by the number of pips like this: 150 / 67 = 2.23 This means you can trade only 2 mini lots so you enter 0.200 as your Stop Loss when placing your order. For a more in depth look at this technique in action please check out the Street Wise Money Management video available to all members in the back office. Step 13: Managing the trade through the targets In order to cover ourselves and keep our profits safe whilst we are in a winning trade there is one more thing we need to do. We need to manage our risk as price moves. Just follow the steps outlined below to do this: 29 P a g e
13.1. Watch your confirmations (MACD and Moving Averages) as price is moving. Also take notice of how the market has been moving previously is it a strong trend? These things will give you an idea of how likely it is that the trend is going to continue moving in that direction. Depending on your confidence level in the trade, take profits after 20 40 pips. Then open a new trade using half the contract size you were just using and move your Stop Loss to the breakeven point. 13.2. When price reaches the 1st target look at the MACD and the Moving Averages and see if price is still looking likely to continue on in the same direction. If things are looking good you should close the trade you have open and take profits. Now open a new trade using half of the contract size of the last trade. Move the stop loss to the breakeven point. This will protect your profits if the case of a reversal while allowing you to continue trading. 13.3. If the indicators warn us of a possible change in the trend we need to take profits and get out at this point. 13.4. When price reaches the second target do the same as above. 13.4. When the final target is reached, close the trade. Final Thoughts... I hope you have enjoyed this guide and have found it useful.

ForesightFX Trading Checklist Below is a quick reference guide to help you when you re looking to pull the trigger on a trade. 1. Plot your trend lines. This should immediately show you where the important support and resistance points are.
