The Perfect Investment
Investments Today There are a multitude of investment instruments available today: Equities, Debt, Futures, Options, Real Estate. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Recently, an instrument previously available only to banks has been opened to individual investors: Currencies.
Foreign Exchange Currencies or FOReign EXchange ('FOREX') may well be the ideal investment for today's volatile economic and investment landscape. Currencies are the lifeblood of not only countries but of all other investment instruments. FOREX is the most efficient and potentially profitable investment to capture a broad range of economic and investment opportunities.
The FOREX Markets Unlike other investments, FOREX trading involves both buying and selling simultaneously. For example you may buy the U.S. Dollar ( USD ) against many other currencies including the Euro ( EUR ) the Swiss Franc ( CHF ) the Japanese Yen ( JPY ) and others. A currency trade is in reality two trades in one buying one currency and selling the other.
Investing for Uncertainty The traditional 'best' investment strategy has been to 'buy and hold.' While this was golden yesterday, it is today somewhat tarnished. The inherent economic uncertainty makes long term trends difficult to form. 'Events' too often knock the chair from under them and a tidy profit made over considerable time can vanish literally in minutes.
Buy and Hold Six Months of Gold profits Gone in Just Three Weeks.
The Investment Pyramid Almost every investor is familiar with the Investment Pyramid. It recommends the investor move upward from Preservation to savings to Investment to Speculation. The times require an addition to this scheme: Trading.
Trading Because long term profits can deteriorate quickly in today s volatile and unpredictable works, part of a successful modern portfolio will include Trading Capturing shorter term profits as they present themselves. Before they can be lost to an 'event' almost sure to be lurking somewhere on the uncertain and constantly changing the economic/investment horizon.
The NEW Investment Pyramid
Trading -The 9 th Wonder of the World In this EURUSD market the investor bought at the bottom and sold at the very top. He seems to have done as well as possible 100%. The Buy and Hold strategy made 1200 pips.
When 50% is Greater Than 100% By just catching 50% of the upswings the Trading strategy made 1800 pips!
Trading in Bands FOREX markets do not trade in Trends. Rather they trade in Bands. No matter how high or how low a currency pair rises or falls relative to another currency It always comes back. This makes FOREX ideal for Trading!

Long Term and Short Term Bands FOREX Bands operate at all time frames minutes, hours, days, weeks, months. Short, Intermediate and Long Term. These bands offer ideal Trading conditions. FOREX The Market for the times. TRADING The Technique for the times.
FOREX Grid Trading How does an investor capitalize on this laudable modern investment strategy of FOREX Trading? Grid Trading Systems are always in the market and on both sides of it. Grids can capture both 'long' and 'short' trading profits by scaling in and out of a FOREX pair as it trends up and down in the price bands. Market direction - up or down - is of no concern to Grids! Grids take advantage of the natural FOREX bands.
Both Sides Now! A FOREX Grid Trading System which captured just 33% of both uptrends and downtrends would have profited by 2900 pips more than double what the buy-and-hold method did with 100% accuracy!

What s the Catch? They say If it sounds to good to be true it probably is! Conventional Grid Trading Systems are designed for specific bands - short-term, intermediate-term or long-term. If it is designed for short-term bands, when a market moves in a longterm band it will scale-in to the trend until it eats itself to death, resulting in a very large loss.
Najibi Capital The Algorithm Unlike conventional Grid Trading Systems the Najibi Capital ALGORITHM uses two additional factors to determine the band characteristics of a FOREX pair. These two unique factors based on proprietary formulas Speed and Range determine both the directional movement of a market (how fast or slow it is rising or falling) and the volatility of that movement. With these factors the Najibi Capital ALGORITHM can determine what kind of band a FOREX pair is in and adjust its scaling accordingly.
Automated Trading No human could make the numerous and split-second calculations necessary for The Algorithm to function effectively. The Algorithm is fully automated and trades 24 x 7, alert to every possible trading opportunity. The Algorithm behavior and performance is monitored on a real-time basis.
The Algorithm at Work Consider the Swiss Franc (USDCHF) move in September of 2011 after a surprise intervention by the Swiss National Bank. It was the sharpest move in a currency pair in almost 10 years! Over 1000 pips in minutes. Conventional Grid Trading Systems took huge losses; wiping out weeks, even months of profits because the band changed from short-term to long-term in mere seconds.
The Algorithm at Work An Example Not only did the Najibi Capital Algorithm avoid the fate of other Grid Trading Systems it actually made a profit on this historic Swiss Franc move.
The Opportunity The FOREX markets are an ideal instrument for today s volatile economic environment. Trading instead of Buy-and-Hold is the technique-for-the- times. FOREX pairs move in bands, making them ideal for Trading. Grid Trading Systems are designed to capture trading profits on both sides of market trends. The Najibi Capital Algorithm adjusts to changing market conditions and trading bands. The Najibi Capital Algorithm can be tailored to the needs of both conservative and aggressive participants.
