Unique Investment Opportunity
Today there are numerous "knowledgeable" specialists in investment that advertise on the Internet of special schemes and "un-heard of" high yield on the investments they recommend.
One investment that has a relatively high risk but is above board and can yield also good returns is Forex Trading. One either needs to understand Forex Trading and have time on hand to do live trading, or one can use the services of a well established and respected Forex Trading firm. We have investigated various options and feel that an investor / pension fund should seriously consider investing up to 10% of their available funds in Forex Trading. We have followed two particular trading programs with interest and we feel confident to share this knowledge with you. Please take note that historical profits are just an indication of the stability of the trades and not a guarantee that it will be achieved in future trades. However the historical trades give an indication of the soundness and stability of the trading methodology.
The two trading options both work on the same principle (using the fully automated IPAM system) although it is being implemented by two separate trading houses. Each trading option has specific minimum entry amounts and other characteristics.
The trading options basically entails the use of a fully automatic trading program of which the various settings and conditions is made to facilitate the trading. The settings can be made to facilitate higher returns but then the risk is also much higher. We feel that risk need to be minimised even if the returns are less. It is better to be conservative and build up the portfolio slowly than to go out with a win-all / lose-all attitude.
The following tables give historical returns for the two programmes. It is important to note that there were only three months with a negative return in both programmes together. Some months the returns were very good (17%) while in other months the returns were not so good but solid - building the investment portfolio.
The following tables list the historical returns from real traded accounts:

Drawdowns in your total account value at some point in time (possibly even starting the day you open your account) is not only part of the historical results but an absolutely normal part of short term active trading in the Forex market. You must have the financial and psychological ability to accept those inevitable swings in account value in order to achieve the extremely positive
Risk Disclosure
We are very positive about this particular automated trading system but need to caution you that no system is perfect as "real life situations" cannot be forecasted with a 100% accuracy. Therefore we are also required by law to include the following risk disclosure notice.
Past performance is not indicative of future results, as returns may vary according to market conditions. Trading in foreign exchange is speculative and may involve the loss of principal; therefore, funds placed under management should be risk capital funds that if lost will not significantly affect one's personal financial well being. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully consider your financial situation as to the suitability to your situation prior to making any investment or entering into any transaction.
