Inviting Forex Investors & Advertisers
This post is dedicated to investors and advertisers who are interested in collaborating together. In last couple of months I’ve regularly received emails from both investors and advertisers; hence I thought to post something to address it.
First of all I do apologies for not responding to your offers, but now I am ready and actively looking to partner up.
Investors:
At this stage I am only looking to work for Hedge fund managers who are seeking traders for their own set of clients. If you are money manager yourself then please contact me so we can discuss further.
Please note that my long term goal to run a hedge fund of my own, though right now I am not looking for individual clients interested in managed account services.
Advertisers:
As much I like blog to remain clean, I am contemplating one or two Ads. It is important for me to keep the blog user friendly and not overdo with the Ads.
Right now blog has 2500+ visits daily and 120,000+ page views per month along with 5000+ email subscribers. Please note that I am interested in Direct CPM Advertising only. I do not want to endorse any affiliate products so please do not email me with such offers.
Readers of This blog:
First of all I want to say a big thank you for incredible support so far. This post wouldn’t have been possible without collective effort and encouragement.
Important point to remember is that this will only grow our relationship, I’ll continue to give back as usual and hope that you will also continue to support our little community here 
We have only just begun and I look forward to continue working together for a long time to come.
Great idea. I would also suggest working as a Introducing Broker through one of the good Forex brokers. That way you would earn money from each trade that is opened. I for one would open an account under your IB affiliation just to help you earn something for your hard work. Perfect solution that allows your loyal readers to still get your signals free and you get paid.
You are right. Though it can't just be any broker…I need to evaluate them better and make a choice that really help other traders.
All the best FP. I am with you all the way
Congrats on stepping up to another level with your site, services, and biz. Thanks for sharing the info on your blog and signals.
Thanks Kris…appreciate your support
I realy appreciate your personality FP …
Dear FP,
Have you considered becoming a signal provider on Zulutrade.com ?
People could sign up to your signal there for automatic execution on their account.
You would receive 0.1 pips commission for each traded lot in a live account.
Your b-log reader will surely follow you there and you will have hundreds of sign ups in a matter of days/weeks, which will result in 100s & 100s of pips of comission for you…… probably weekly…. it could be the thing for you AND for your followers as they would be able to automate your actions…. this could result in even more followers, those who don't have the time for manuall trading….
Please let me know if you sign up on Zulu, or make an announcement so we all know.
Good luck and it's hard to find some direction in this so difficult market, so you are really doing good to many people so you will receive good from all of us back.
Cheers,
Jens
Hi Jens,
You are right about Zulutrade can help in increasing exposure. For some reason Zulutrade keeps getting mentioned a lot over and over again on the blog
I think people love the idea of automated trading. I've got sth already in the works and most probably I'll have an update sometime next week.
I second the request for a zulutrade account.
The reason is that this way people can follow your signals even if they are offline, all the time, and also you benefit as well
FP
I suggest you to take it easy. Your strategy is nearly random trading with very erratic performances. Stars are poor right now, only 3 moths. It is nothing.
You will find advertiser for sure (you are a good marketing guy) but it will be, IMHO, very hard to find investors which are ready to lose 5% one day and gain 5% the next etc…with this strategy with seems an eternal yo-yo.
Too much drawdown, performances too erratic, you need lots of months more.
Everything and always IMO.

Hi Murratt,
Appreciate your comments and observation. Here is what I've to say:
1. It may seem like an eternal yo-yo when you look at trades on a daily basis. These are swing trades and we need to look at bigger picture.
2. Regarding erratic performance, I say any performance is better that comes out on top in the end. It all depends on how you look at it.
3. You may think it is random since I use OCO orders, the idea is that I take unbiased approach to market when the market is undecided itself. I let the market decide where it wants to go and not to impose my opinion. That's again why there are no market orders either.
4. 5% up and down, it depends on how much you risk per trade. Even if it is 5% drawdown then it is nothing in comparison to any other strategies.
5. 3 months is the time since I published the trades openly…not overall.
6. Regarding finding investors, you'll be surprised what offers I've on my table right now
FIrepips is deleting comments that are not adoring himself.
sorry and excuses to FP to have ruined the post with all that comments I had problems with connection.
sorry man
M
Its cool…
I woke up and saw all these messages, and I thought was I sleep surfing again ?? haha
hi firepips;
when there is mention of drawdowns, erractic and yo-yo in the same sentence; it denotes that the strategy implemented is careless. im certain you wouldn't have a solid following if that were the case. however, this does beg the question (s): why ARENT you on zulutrade or something similar, why aren't your stats transparent so that everyone can see what's happening (drawdowns, losses, wins, simultaneous open positions, etc….)
im no marketeer or investor; but if i WAS one, i certainly wouldn't base my decision to join firepips with an incomplete picture (just showing the wins.) anyhow; that's just my 2 cents and my humble opinion.
plus, there are so many free services that you can join that will display your results.
You are right, I am guilty of not putting all stats at one place. However if you would have followed t us long enough then you would notice Diet Pipsi has posted summary stats several times in the comments. Nothing is hidden, all orders are posted for your review as well and you can make your assessment.
Regarding Zulutrade, it is a personal choice and by no means a mandatory requirement
hi fp,
really? all the numbers are available? they sure are hard to find. can you please provide a link? why not put them on your landing page next to +3000 pips? that would paint the real picture; don't you agree?
zulutrade: it's really a mind boggling personal choice. you can have hundreds of followers overnight and thousands of dollars in earnings every month; but you still "choose" not to go with a public service…imho; i think you are afraid to be transparent. i don't mean that in a bad way; but i just think you aren't confident enough to expose your numbers just yet.
David, no offense, but have you tried using Zulutrade as a provider? I'll challenge you ( in a friendly way ) to post my signals for next 48 hours and tell me what you think?
hi fp,
no i have not; BUT, even if it is cumbersome to use; i would be a FOOL not to use them considering how much money i could make with them especially if i could make people 3k pips, 650 pips, like you are promoting… you would have a legion of followers. im certain that the people on zulu are not as NEARLY talented as you are technically or methodically; but they STILL managed to get on zulu and send signals. in my most humble opinion; i think you are nervous of painting the complete picture of what your results are. i believe, imho, you are afraid to be transparent. IT WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTE NO-BRAINER FOR YOU to get on zulutrade; even if, it was a little cumbersome.
you ONLY display your wins…you know and i know that is an incomplete picture. in fact; i'll tell you what. i am willing to accept your challenge of posting your signals on zulutrade if we can share in the profits for 3 months. i will handle all your signals…if you accept; please let me know.
btw, you never have to answer any questions from people on zulu b/c zulu doesnt allow questions to be asked to their signal providers.
What I don't understand is that why on every post there is one guy who goes on and on about Zulutrade. Why don't they go back and read previous comments?
Not targeting you David, this is only my observation.
hi mark,
no worries. the reason i and others mention zulutrade is b/c of it's potential and capability of being transparent…which is KEY. plus; it has the benefit of seamlessly following, a signal provider like firepips.
most importanly; you have the statistics in your face to make an informed determination whether it is worth "following." my issue with FP is that he ONLY shows his profits. on the otherhand; zulu shows you max dd, average pips per day, open positions, trades, winning v. losing trades, avg pips per trade, avg time of trade, max drawdown, etc.
JUST SHOWING PROFIT is really a disservice to us…not that im not grateful for his gratuitous off; but bothered by the incomplete picture that FP presents on this site.
I have to agree with david on this…i am a customer of Zulutrade for some time now. Their platform is very transparent and if you wish to become a signal provider, everything you do will show (all as mentioned by david). So if you become a signal provider there and you do good in your trades, trust me A LOT of people will follow you (including me). I suggest you try it out, even if it dont work, you will show some people that what you are trying to do here is good and honest
hi Nick,
i think that is the problem; though, FP has good intentions there is no way that fp will expose himself in that manner. i certainly don't blame him but just showing wins exudes creditability issues. seriously; if someone can make you almost 600 pips; let alone 3000, you would be an absolute FOOL not to follow FP.
he explained above that zulu is cumbersome; and i accepted his offer that i would provide his signals on there for him; but that it would have to be 3 months rather than the 48 hours he wanted. this way, at least my time will be worth spending learning a new system.
no mal intent intended; but i seriously doubt that FP will take the initiative to be THAT transparent…just my 2 cents. plus, he has an awesome thing going here; but anyone with a remotely critical eye will take note that just showing the wins paints an incomplete picture.
I have no problem with the way FP is managing his business. My read of the posts indicate his willingness to answer all questions. Others have started to compile the results into more standard, readable formats. You suggest that he only reports the wins but every single email I receive shows every trade updated every four hours; all winners and losers. I am grateful when ONE person puts so much effort into something and makes it available to us at no cost — just to prove his trading capabilities to himself as he builds his way to a hedge fund.
My experience with Zulutrade was not good. I tried Tradency and saw some very suspicious activity that made me nervous about using them. With Zulutrade, Tradency or any such service what I really want is the ability to interact with the provider, like we do here. Rent-a-signal is probably better at provider-client communications with their forum. I don't know about their service.
Totally agree Cheetah. I see updates for all winners and losers.
People doubting FP are doing a disservice to him and to others specially when they post such messages on thread which is meant to attract potential Investors.
Make me wonder if they belong to other signal service or marketing guys hired by companies like Zulutrade.
Here is what I think of Zulutrade (and similar sites), if they work then why don't you pick the top 3 providers, let them trade your account and make millions.
cheetah and michael;
you guys are missing the whole point. the reason im on this forum is b/c i like what fp has to offer; potentially. more importantly; im grateful for it. however, my point was simply this: although you see, in every email, the wins and losses, that doesnt paint a complete picture. in fact, take a look at this: http://www.rentasignal.com/signal/view/30323
that paints a complete picture: it gives you all the necessary numbers to make an informed decision. just showing the wins isn't enough. come one guys; me telling you this is belaboring the obvious.
the link that was removed was to zulutrade and rentasignal. just take a look and you can see every statistic possible. take a look, you'll see what im talking about.
clearly you have no clue how zulutrade is working…for some people (like me), that dont have enough time to follow FPs signals, an account in zulutrade would allow us to…then again its his personal choice if he does this
Hi,
Saw these comments on posting the result of the FirePips performance frequently and thought I should also air my view.
In my opinion, if FirePips is charging a fee for providing his signal, then all of us had the right to ask him to provide the performance of his signal as we are now his "customers" and thus had a right to "demand" them.
However, as he is now providing the signal for free, we had no right to keep on harassing him to provide the figure. If you really want the figure, you can tabulate yourself and determine whether it is profitable or not. It is definitely your choice whether you want to follow his signal or not
Just my 2 cents worth.
liaueg,
hello. first and foremost; there is no demand. remember; although it is free and im certainly grateful; it's really not "free." you may ask firepips yourself…he has a commercial motive and this is his/her means to an end. im not "harassing" him; i want to be a "follower," but just an informed one. why paint an incomplete picture? why only show 3000 + pips w/out the remaining half? why not be transparent? why hide? it's not much to ask; even if it is "free." if someone tells you they can make you $30k in a month…will you invest? NO WAY! unless you know what's going on. even if it is "free."
Fire has been calling great shots since his inception here (he has even helped us trade very consistenly when we started too). Not just his signals but mostly his perception of the market, trading discipine and when to step aside. He took some time off, we thought we lost him, but back he came as always.
Still remember the old web chatting tryouts

Question: In your 4-hourly updates, why do you list the winners individually for each lot, but you list the losers as a single lot? For example, yesterday I took a big hit on one trade by losing -390pips on the GBP/JPY… ouch!! But, you only list it has losing 130pips as like it was a signal lot. I think if you list the winners as individual lots, then you should also list the losers as they are. Put ALL the winners as well as losers on the table.
Thanks again. I applaud your efforts.
Dude you haven't looked hard enough. Have a look at the pips table posted on the signal post.
Both Profit and Loss updates are posted in the same way. When EURJPY reached third profit target, update said +150 pips and not +300 pips (50+100+150)
Well it's not TOTALS he is reporting in the blog updates at all. He is only telling the status of the current trade. If the stoploss is 130, and we hit it, he is simply reporting that we closed out the trade at -130. That has nothing to do with total counts.
The running totals chart near the top of the blog page clearly shows all the gains and losses on all trades, with the updates posted after every bar. If you look at the chart, that trade is clearly reported as -390, and was posted there within about 30 minutes of the new bar where Fire posted the results of the trade.
The expert adviser from DietPipsi dosent work on an ECN 5 digit broker, I know it says it works on FXDD and it does, but I would think that many people do not use FXDD so is it possible to have it altered to accommodate ECN 5 digit brokers?
I and with the help of at least two other forum members here are working on it. Sorry it isn't done yet, I too want to use it on my own MBTrading account.
Hello FirePips
I want to thank you for your services and availability. I'm following your signals from this week. I hope you continue for long.
I am Spanish and my English is not very good.
Thanks
Good to have you with us Angel, let me know if you have any questions.
