Course details
The 3 Little Pigs Trading Strategy is a popular, multiple-timeframe forex trading strategy that is used by thousands of traders all over the world.
In this Video Course, you'll learn exactly how you too can use it to get maximum results in your forex trading.
So what are the 3 Little Pigs, and what have they got to do with the forex market?
Well, as you may know, markets tend to move in trends. They tend to move in roughly the same direction for a prolonged period of time.
And trends = excellent trading opportunities
The 3 Little Pigs Trading Strategy is designed to take full advantage of those trading opportunities.
In the strategy, each Pig represents:
- the long-term trend (1st Little Pig),
- the medium-term trend (2nd Little Pig), and
- the short-term trend (3rd Little Pig)
Now, if you're familiar with trading, you're almost sure to have heard the phrase…
"The trend is your friend"
If you haven't heard that before, it basically means that it's easier to trade markets in the direction of the trend.
And when you think about it, trading with the trend makes perfect sense.
- because if price is trending up, you're more likely to make money if you are buying
- and if price is trending down, you're more likely to make money if you are selling
Trading in the direction of the trend is like running with the wind at your back - it just makes things easier.
Sounds simple, right?
But here's the problem...
Although trend trading sounds logical, many traders really struggle to do it profitably.
Even though it sounds simple, it's actually quite easy to get confused.
If you've traded trends before, you're likely to have run into problems like:
- How do I know if the trend is bullish or bearish?
- Do I look for higher highs and higher lows?
- Should I use moving averages?
- If so, what period should they be?
- Should they be simple or exponential?
- Should I use trendlines?
- What if a trend is bullish on one timeframe and bearish on another?
No wonder some traders get baffled!
Confusion sets in.
You start getting bad entries, cutting winning trades too soon, letting losing trades get big, and worst of all, missing trends altogether.
And of course…you lose money.
You start to wonder:
- is this trend trading really is all its cracked up to be?
- are the markets are rigged against me?
- can I really make some money from this?
Most people just give up and decide to try something else.
But that's a mistake - a big mistake.
Because trend trading works. Some of the biggest, most successful traders in the world are huge fans of trend-trading.
Larry Hite is a hugely successful fund managers, and one of Jack Schwager's famous Market Wizards. He says:
"If you diversify, control your risk, and go with the trend, it just has to work"
- Larry Hite
So why is it that big traders can use trends to make huge sums of money, but the little guy seems to fail miserably?
How can you make forex trend-trading work for you?
Well, what you need is a straight-forward trend-trading strategy to guide you.
And that's exactly where the 3 Little Pigs Forex Trading Strategy comes in!
You need a Trading Plan
The 3 Little Pigs Trading Strategy provides a clear plan for trading in the direction of the trend in the forex markets.
And it does that by using multiple timeframes to analyse trends and find great trading opportunities.
Here's an example of how it works:
- You pick a currency pair to analyse
- You use the strategy to check if the long term trend is bullish or bearish (this takes only a few seconds)
- You check if the medium-term trend matches the long-term trend (this also only takes a few seconds)
- If it does, you check the short-term trend for confirmation
- If you get confirmation, you enter the trade!
These steps are all very clear and simple to follow. They are designed to be straightforward and to limit any chance of you making a mistake.
When you follow the steps correctly, you will have a trade that is in the direction of the long, medium and short-term trends.
There are 2 very important benefits that you'll experience by trading like this:
- There's a good chance that price will move in your direction (so you can make money), and
- It results in a better risk versus reward ratio (your losing trades should be smaller than your winning trades)
These are very important, so let's look at both of them in turn.
The Truth: How many trades will be winners?
Before starting to trade a particular forex strategy, most traders want to know how often it produces winning trades.
The truth about the 3 Little Pigs Trading Strategy is that not all of its trades are winners.
In fact, in certain markets you might find that less than 50% of your trades are profitable.
If that sound like a big problem, it shouldn't!
Because if you follow the rules, you'll find that most often your winning trades will be bigger than your losing trades.
Let's use the results from the Babypips.com independent evaluation as an example:
- In their independent study, 50% of their trades were winners (so half of their trades were losers)...but...
- The average size of their winning trades was 98.45 pips (or 2.14%)
- And the average size of their losing trades was 40.55 pips (0.7%)
- So on average, their winning trades were more than twice as big as their losing trades
So, even though they had more losing trades than winners, the net result is that they still ended up with a profit.
That profit was 1,158 pips (+28.65%).
To save you doing the sums: even if they had only had only won 30% of their trades, they still would have been profitable overall.
Does that sound achievable?
Of course it does!
Every single trading strategy needs a good...
...risk versus reward ratio.
This is why it's important to make sure that your winning trades are bigger than your losing trades. This is what's known as a good "risk versus reward ratio".
And it's crucial to the success of any trading strategy.
The 3 Little Pigs Trading Strategy targets a positive risk versus reward ratio on its trades, and that's part of the reason why it's so popular with forex traders all over the world.
Let's explain how it does this:
- With the 3 Little Pigs strategy, you set your stop-loss orders on the short-term timeframe. This means that your losing trades are quite small
- With the 3 Little Pigs strategy, you are trading in the direction of the long-term trend. Because price can move in your direction for a long period of time, and many of your winners can be very big
Do you see how this works?
That means your profitable trades (reward) can sometimes be many times bigger than your losing trades (risk).
So THAT'S why the professionals are so fond of trend-trading strategies!
Paul Tudor Jones is probably one of the most successful traders ever. Here's what he has to say on risk versus reward:
"I'm looking for 5:1 (risk /reward). Five to one means I'm risking one dollar to make five. What five to one does is allow you to have a hit ratio of 20%. I can actually be a complete imbecile. I can be wrong 80% of the time, and I'm still not going to lose."
- Paul Tudor Jones II
As you can see, as far as what the rockstar traders look for in a trading strategy, the 3 Little Pigs tick all of the boxes.
But that's the big-hitting professionals - what about you?
