FAQ's
What should I expect from your service?
You should expect to see consistent profits over the coming months. You will see long term trend trades (few days to a week) as well as short term trades netting only a few pips per trade. Some of the short term trades may turn into long term trades but only after they are in profit and the trend is developing. See the performance history for past trade risk and reward.
When should I expect to see trades on my platform?
You could see trades open as soon as Sunday night or monday when the markets are offering a good trading environment. You may see a long term trade that is on while other short term trades are being executed.
Why do I need a professional to trade my account?
Well you really don't need a professional if you have all the books and the time to sit in front of the computer some of the day and most of the night depending on where you live. You will also need lots of time to read many of the books that offer only a one additional insight per book where the rest is a all a rehash. Also you will need an edge of the when the banks are making their trades and how they operate that is if you want to stay in the game for the long term.
Do I have physically do any trading myself?
You don't have to. We have a very good trade copier that executes the trades directly on your meta trader 4 platform.

As a trader I am very cautious of how much risk I have out on the market at any one time. So when I have a long term trade on I only usually leave one on unless it is already in profit. Short term trades on the other hand I may have up to 4-5 trades on at one time looking for the few pips mentioned on the home page.

How much should I start my trading with?
We suggest you start your trading using a demo account. This way you get a feel for the system and its performance before trading real capital. Once ready, we suggest starting with $5,000 or more on mini account.
We suggest a mini account because of the possibility of the amount of trades that you might have going at one time. We advise that you only trade using risk capital. Risk Capital is defined as money you can afford to lose. This is true no matter how good a system looks, how good a system performs or how much money it makes. Only risk capital should be used in trading.

Built into the signal receiver in the form of an EA is a "risk adjustment multiplier". (See Below for a better explanation)

Explanation: To help you to understand this we are going to use round numbers. The EA receiver is set at the default of 1.0 .If the Money Tree Fx trader is trading a $100,000 STANDARD account and you have a $10,000 standard account.
