What this is
This is not a market-forecast article. It is the record of trades we actually placed.
There is one input: how far the US500 index moved on the prior day, measured at the NY 4pm close. Only when that move exceeds ±0.5% do we mechanically run two plays the next day:
- USDJPY Tokyo-open fade — at 9:00 JST we enter USDJPY against the US move and close at 10:00 JST. One hour of exposure.
- EURUSD dollar-beta follow — right after the NY 4pm close we enter EURUSD with the US move and close at the next European close (17:00 Berlin). Friday signals are held over the weekend.
There is no take-profit; exits are time-based. The stop is disaster protection only (3–4× ATR). Risk per trade is 0.5% of equity. No chart patterns are used.
In back-testing (2017–2026, ~1,200 trades each) the fade made +0.89 pips/trade after costs (profitable 9 of 10 years; 2021 was the losing year) and the dollar-beta +3.68 pips/trade (7 of 10 years; 2023–2024 were consecutive losing years). The per-trade edge is thin — we say that upfront, which is exactly why the live record is published in full.
Cumulative record
2 closed (1W 1L) · realised -5,775 JPY · total -0.12R · -0.06R per trade
R is profit divided by the amount risked on that trade. We report R because it compares the method itself, independent of account size or denomination.
This week (verification demo account — the canonical record)
This week's record contains 4 trade(s) and 10 skip(s).
The per-trade detail (time, pair, side, entry, stop, exit reason, R multiple, plus the daily decision log) and the reason for every skip are published in our verified Discord channel.
Why it is gated: the detail is the execution record of a real account — the most valuable thing we can hand a reader. We give it to people who opened their account through this site (we only match your account number against our partner ledger; no email, no password). The cumulative record, win/loss split and costs above stay public on this page — we do not show you the wins and hide the losses.

Parallel real-money execution
The same decisions are executed in parallel on a real-money account (XM, USD). A demo-only record cannot answer the obvious objection: "would that actually have filled?"
- Real-money closes: 1 (1W 0L) / 0 open
- Realised P&L: +1.06 USD (+0.27R) The real-money account is independently verified on Myfxbook → View the verified account These figures are not merged into the headline record. The published track record stays on one account — keeping two aggregates would let us show whichever looks better.

What we will say plainly
- This edge was found by exploration. It surfaced from a 72-cell grid search, so a selection-bias discount applies. We would normally run a no-orders shadow phase first; here the operator chose to start live. At 60 closed trades we will run a statistical test (SPRT) and shut the system down if it fails — that outcome will be published here too.
- The per-trade edge is thin (+0.89 pips/trade in back-testing for the fade). A wide spread erases that day's edge, so entries are skipped automatically whenever the live spread exceeds 3× the floor.
- Losing regimes are real: 2021-style low-volatility yen grind for the fade, 2023–2024 for the dollar-beta. We found no way to predict them in advance and disclose them as accepted risk.
- Five consecutive losses trigger an automatic kill switch (per system, per account). Shutdowns get reported here as well.
- The signal threshold is ±0.5%. The headline record comes from a verification demo account (one canonical published track record); the real-money account is reported separately above, never merged in.
- Past results do not guarantee future performance. This is not investment advice.
