SurpriseTrade 7 years - 1 Million Dollars Challenge

The SurpriseTrade 7-1 Challenge

Can a million dollars be made from a initial investment of only five hundred dollars? 

Can it be done in a time period of seven years trading forex?

That is the SurpriseTrade 7-1 Challenge. 

The following spreadsheet will be used as a guide:


Starting February 2014 and ending February 2021. 

  • Goal -- Over $1,000,000 by February 2021
  • Objective -- Gain 10% on average each month
    • Careful not to place a trade when market is slow.
    • Wait for the indicator to materialize, even after a month has passed.
  • Stratergy -- SurpriseTrade
    • Trade on breakouts of the box of support and resistance around the 200 period and 800 period moving average (200sma and 800sma). 
    • Will trade based on the 4 hour, 8 hour, daily and weekly chart. 
    • May trade based on the 15 minutes, 30 minutes and hourly charts only immediately after the release of news (example. FOMC meeting, Non-Farm Payroll Number Release, other).
    • The win to loose risk ratio has to be over one (the distance from the trade price to the target has to be the same or more that the distance from the trade price to the stop).
    • No more than 50% of margin will be placed in risk in a single trade.
  • Tactics -- Brakeout of the SurpriseBox has to be:
    • Double Bottom or Double Tops
    • Head and Shoulders or Inverted Head and Shoulders
