Biography

My name is Jim Brown and I am a full-time Forex Trader. I first became interested
in the Forex markets back in early 2002 when I attended a stock trading meeting at
a private residence. One guy announced that he had made a killing by trading the
Japanese Yen against the US dollar over a period of about 18 months. He had proof
to back his claims, so obviously I was interested. Who knew that the individual on
the street could even trade currencies? Up until then, it was only the banks or
very wealthy individuals that had access to this type of trading. So now a whole
new industry was born.

It wasn't easy at first as there weren't many reputable brokers around and their
platforms were unreliable at best. The spreads were huge and the internet was still
predominately dial up. The forums began popping up and the 'trading gurus'
appeared. A lot of stock, futures and options trading systems were converted to
suit the FX market, which was an entirely different beast due to there being no
actual central exchange, and a market that ran 24 hours a day for 5 days a week.
There was money to be made by those who were were smart at the time, either by
straddling the news releases or exploiting the carry trade. But brokers also got
smarter and either shut these advantages down or created trading conditions that
made it difficult to profit from them.

My problem was, I listened to too many so called 'gurus' and got caught up in all
the hype. Always thinking they were smarter than me as their systems were very
complex, and therefore must be better than anything I could come up with. So for a
few years, I bounced around different systems, blowing accounts and generally
giving back any profits I had managed to obtain. There were both good times and bad
times. But I never gave up.

I soon realized that some of the 'gurus' were actually the real deal, so I started
to pay attention to them and see what they had to offer. In the meantime, I became
smarter with my money management, got out of the day trading habit and generally
simplified my trading methods so they were easy to implement and explain. I have
also dabbled with building my own trading robots with mixed success and use them at
times to assist me with my trading. I generally prefer to manually manage a trade
once I am in as I find the human brain can perform a lot better than a robot that
works on certain inputs. After constantly looking at Forex charts for the last 13
years or so, I have a pretty good idea of patterns etc, and generally have a fair
idea of what may happen next on a chart. A trading robot just can't do this.

These days, I make a living from trading Forex, trading mainly off the 4hr or Daily
charts. I can live anywhere in the world I choose, as long as I have internet
access. My systems are simple but they are profitable overall, which at the end of
the day, is all that matters. I love trading Forex and I see it as having a huge
potential to make some serious income. It is not as easy as some would make you
believe, but if you keep it simple, control your money management, and be
consistent, then there is no reason that you too shouldn't succeed in the world of
Forex trading.

Patience, courage and discipline.....

Jim has hit the nail on the head with the trading system he shares in this book. I
started trading Forex early 2016 and was clueless as there are a lot of systems and
method out there which cost exuberant amount. I have been trading the method from
this book for the last two months and the profits, i'm making says it all. A big
Well done Mr Brown, for creating a simple, easy to understand trading method
especially for the newbies like me, but most importantly a very profitable trading
method. What i also enjoy the most, is Mr Brown willingness to help and answer all
questions for clarity.

Its books like these that will reduce the high failure rate of new Forex traders.

If you are new in the world of Forex, i highly recommend this book and it will be
one of the best investment you will ever make. It will make your trading journey
easier and enjoyable.

And in the forex world, I'd say that makes it unique among products out there.
Available at meager cost, this ebook does assume considerable knowledge on the part
of the reader (e.g., knowing a rational place to put a stop-loss, risk management,
etc., etc... very important stuff not discussed). However said background is a
reasonable assumption for a reader banging around the dark world of forex courses,
expert advisors and the like almost all of which do not work and result in losses.
I pulled this thing down, loaded the provided software and was up & trading within
a few hours. Within a coupled days I was pulling down winner after winner. The
method appears solid, is very easy to implement and use, and left me wondering
where it had been for the last 7 years or so. Within a week, I had pulled down
perhaps 40X the purchase price trading a very meager account. With suitable bank of
the sort I currently have socked away in non-productive "investments" I think I
could make a living trading this. Thank you for this!

I have both of Jim's books. They are both easy and enjoyable to read and filled
with useful information. There is no need to buy anything to use his free system.
The system is easy to set up and use. If you demo trade first you will see that it
works before risking anything. He provides links to resources if you have any
problems. Buy both of Jim's books, especially if you are new to trading Forex; you
wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a true gem..

This is a true gem and it is hard to believe it costs nothing close to it's true
value. Don't be fooled by marketers who sell indicator soups for $1000 price tag. I
have been trading for over 13 years now, and had been fooled by scam marketers too
many times. Jim Brown's High Probability Method is one of the best Trend Following
technique that I've come across. He put together some best indicators that work in
coordination to give you plenty of setups. Jim also provides support through his
Facebook page and e-mail. I personally interacted with him a few times and was
pleasantly surprised by his level of service. No one had I seen helping like this
for buying a $10 system from him. He is a full time trader and genuinely a person
of integrity, honesty and free of any greed.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell another glowing review.

I'm known as the Simon Cowell of book reviews because I don't pull any punches if I
don't like a book. But this one is easy because it is a positive review. I was a
little apprehensive about buying this book because of so many glowing reviews, but
now here I am giving a glowing review. I think this book is about as well presented
and written as possible. It isn't too long but not too short with plenty of charts
and explanations. He gives you very objective entry signals from the indicators
that he provides to you. I've been around the block more than once when it comes to
these kind of indicator signals so I know if it's just a fluff dime or dozen system
or not. This author knows what he is doing as evidenced by his approach to trading.
These signals are just the starting point. The fact that he leaves it up to the
trader to use his or her own confirmation techniques tells me he knows exactly what
trading is all about. One trader might not like using trend lines as a confirmation
but relies on divergence. Another trader might want both. Another one might only
use candle patterns like stars or hammers. But what the author is saying is start
with this signal and then use your experience and preferences from there. Or, you
could just use the signals as provided - it's up to you. Trading isn't a one size
fits all kind of concept and the author knows that which is why is serves up
different suggestions on how to supplement the signals. This book is legit and
extremely well done. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsDefinitely upped my forex game!

While Jim's book assumes some prior knowledge of forex, it was still quite
digestible! I'm pretty much a newbie (only been trading for 3+ months but I've also
backtested for almost 3 months of equivalent time). Do NOT expect to find the holy
grail of forex since that doesn't exist. You CAN expect however a solid framework
which you can adapt to your own style. For example, I made a few changes to the
template provided by changing the MAs to Bollingers, and removing the MACD in
favour of the ADX indicator. These fit better with my view of the market and
enabled me to blend both Jim's style and mine into something great. So far my hit
rate has been around 70% which is way better than the 40-50% it was a month ago. So
I'd encourage anyone who's looking to improve their system to take a read. You will
not be disappointed!
