Net Trap System OverviewWelcome and thank you for investing in the Net Trap System.
This marks you out as someone who is serious about learning how to trade forex.
Well done, you are on your way to becoming an independent forex trader.
We‘re going to get straight into this. I’m going to show you exactly what to do step by
step, so you can be up and running in no time.
Before I take you through step by step, I want to give you a short summary though of
the Net Trap System.
Ok, here we go, the Net Trap System is ideal for busy people who want to use a quick,
low risk, high profit potential, forex trading method.
It uses a simple chart, and allows you to independently decide whether to place a forex
trade order, just after 6:30 am, on Monday to Friday British Pound (GBP/USD) trading
days.
Ok, I know that is very early, but many of us are up and getting ready at that time.
After a little practice, you could do this in about the same time it would take you to brush
your teeth.
This is something you should easily be able to fit into your busy schedule.
With this system you’ll be able to place an order for a trade on your laptop in 5
minutes, and then walk away. You could then finish getting ready, catch your train or even
go jogging.
You then come back and check the computer 2 hours later at 8:30 am.
You can even do this last part on a mobile phone now. Or you could check when you
get to work.
The beauty of this system is you don’t need to sit watching your computer for hours on
end each day.
You can learn how to use this system very quickly.
Remember once you learn this, you could use it for years. You will be able to glance at
one chart and see almost instantly if there is a forex trade.
On days when there is a trade set up, you could place an order and walk away. The
trade will either hit the profit target or stop loss automatically, or you will manually close

Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 5
it at 8:30 am.
Don’t worry if these terms sound scary now, it is so easy and this will soon become
second nature to you.
I’m going to show you step by step exactly how to do this using real trade examples.
The system is designed to capitalise on the big movements that often happen in the
British Pound (GBP/USD) between 6:30 and 8:30 am.
Please note this system is designed for the GBP/USD forex pair only.
This system is called ‘Net Trap’ because it is like fishing by setting a net at low tide,
waiting for the tide to move, then coming back a couple of hours later to see what you’ve
caught.
You don’t have to wait with a rod for your float to move; you just go about your
business and return a couple of hours later.
Personally I love trading like this. It means you can get on with your life, while still
taking advantage of this amazing forex opportunity.

Step by Step GuideWe’re going though this step by step.
I’m assuming you have never traded forex before and don’t have an account.
If you do and already know the basics you may want to scan this part.
Please don’t miss it all though as there is still important stuff in there particularly
about risk management which everyone needs to understand.
Getting a Trading Account
I use spread betting to trade forex as profits are tax free in the UK.
This is one of the reasons why I love this so much.
It’s such a great feeling knowing the tax man isn’t getting his grubby hands on any of
your profits.
I have found IG index to be one of the best spread betting providers out there.
You can practice for only 10p a pip for an initial period.
You can learn and risk very little money. Their trading spreads are also low.
To open an account go to: http://www.ntsystem.co.uk
Open a Plus account today and you’ll receive the TradeSense education programme
which allows you to build your confidence by placing bets at just 10 pence per point – one
of the lowest bet sizes in the market.
Remember, you can practice for only 10p a pip
You can open an account 24 hours a day.
When you reach the link screen you have a choice between a Plus Account and a
Limited Risk Account.
Personally, I choose a Plus Account as the spreads are lower and the risk of a stop loss
not being hit, are relatively low. You can decide what suits you by reading the Find out
More tabs.
You then can press Start Application red button on right hand side if you decide to
open an account, as shown on the next page.
Forex Net Trap System
5
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 9
There is no minimum deposit necessary to open an account. You would need to
deposit at least £5-£10 though to start trading 10p a pip.
I told you forex is no longer exclusively for the rich.
I’m going to explain later how much you should have in your account for conservative
risk management though. This is very important.
The application forms are self explanatory, and I find their help desk is efficient. If you
have any questions you can always call them.
Starting anything new seems a bit strange at first. Self doubts like can I really do this?
Am I cut out for this? Can stop us learning new skills.
The first step is often the hardest, but as soon as you do something practical you could
begin a life changing journey.
It should only take around 10 minutes to submit your application. IG Index sometimes
have to do some checks but normally they come back to you same day.

Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 10
Setting Up Your ChartOk so you now have your trading account set up. I’m going to show you how toset up your chart so you’re ready to roll.
Most spread betting companies offer simular free charting software. You don’t need
any other fancy software to use this strategy.
There may be small variations on how to set up the chart but I explain below using
one of the most common charting softwares.
Remember you can always call your provider if you have questions, their customer
service staff are usually very helpful and can get you up and running very quickly, if you
do get stuck.
The IG Index Customer Service Number is 0800 409 6789 or 020 7896 0079 or you
can email the Help Desk at [email protected]
To set up your chart, firstly log into your spread betting account:
1. Open the Spot FX GBP/USD chart.
To do this first find GBP/USD Spot Forex or sometimes called GBP/USD Rolling
Daily.
On the IG Index platform as soon as you log in, the above markets page
should appear.
Find Spot FX GBP/USD under Market about half way down and then click the Quick
Forex Net Trap System
7
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 11
Chart icon, to launch the chart.
The Quick Chart Icon looks like a tiny chart with a line through it.
The default chart will open and it sometimes looks like this. It takes around 20
seconds to launch the chart.
You do need broadband for this though.
You may have to download a java add on but this should only take a minute.
2. Open the Settings Tab at the bottom left hand corner of the chart and theSettings box will open like below.
Forex Net Trap System
8
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 12
Change the Settings as shown below. At the top under Style, using the drop down
menu select Candle stick.
A candle stick shows the price movement for a period in time.
On a 15 minutes candle stick chart each candle stick represents 15 minutes of price
movement.
A red candle stick means the price went down for the 15 minutes. At the start of the
period the price was at the top of candle stick body and at the end of the period the price
was at the bottom of the candle stick body. The price has fallen.
A green candle stick means the price went up for the 15 minutes. The start of the
period the price was at the bottom of candle stick body and at the end of the period the
price was at the top of the candle stick body. The price has risen.
The thin black lines above and below the candle stick bodies are sometimes called
wicks and they show the highest and lowest price points for the 15 candle stick period.
3. Change the Moving Average indicator by changing the boxes next to MA,
underneath the Style menu.
The chart automatically has the default MA settings for 20, 50 and 100 bar moving
average.
Forex Net Trap System
9
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 13
Delete the 20 and the 100 and change the 50 box in the middle to 40 as
shown below.
The Settings box should now be exactly as shown above.
4. Close the Settings Tab by clicking the cross in the top right hand corner.
5. Select the 15 minute timeframe using the drop down menu, on the bottomright hand corner of the screen highlighting 15 minutes (as shown below).
Forex Net Trap System
10
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 14
The chart should change to 15 minutes candle sticks as below.

Net Trap System BlueprintSo I’m now going to take you through the detailed trading blueprint summarisingthe Net Trap System.
Don’t worry if it looks complicated at first.
Like anything new, first time seems tricky but after repeating it a few times, it becomes
second nature.
I go through many actual trade examples after this blueprint and it will become very
clear to you.
When you learn this strategy, you will soon be able to open a chart, and see within
minutes whether there is a trade set up.
You could soon be an independent forex trader.
Open the 15 minute Spot FX GBP/USD chart with the 40 bar Moving Average (MA),
as explained in the ‘Setting your chart’ chapter.
Forex Net Trap System
15
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 19
Trade Signals
Check the chart at the close of 6:15 am candle at 6:30 am.
Buy Signal
A). At 6:30 am the 40 MA (the thin pink line) is going up over the previous 10
candles (ignoring candle sticks when it is not rising or falling, and is flat or the same).
I have marked the 6:15 to 6:30 am candle stick with a black vertical line above.
The 40 MA, the thin pink line is clearly rising (going up) for the previous 10 bars.
Note the 40 MA line must be rising by at least 1 pip during the last 10 candle sticks
and with no more than 2 consecutive candles where 40 MA is falling.
Ignore candles where 40 MA is not rising or falling and is flat.
Forex Net Trap System
16
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 20
You can see the value of the 40 MA for any candle stick by placing the cursor over the
candle stick and the data window will appear as below.
Above I highlight the 4:00 to 4:15 candle 10 candles back and the value of the 40 MA
is in the bottom of the data window as 16506 (this would be quoted as 1.6506 at other
spread betting companies).
Often you can see whether the 40 MA line is rising without checking every candle
stick, it is obvious to the naked eye as above.
This means the average value of the last 40 candles is rising and indicates the current
trend is a rising market.
Note - IG Index quote GBP/USD as 16506.05 as opposed to 1.6506 at most other
providers.
If there is no clear direction to the 40 MA (pink line) don’t place an order.
B). If A). Above is satisfied (40 MA is going up over the last 10 candles) consider
placing an order to Buy at the high of the 6:15 candle plus 2 pips plus the spread. (the
GBP/USD spread is normally +3 pips, so place an order to buy at the 6:15 candle high
plus 5 pips).
To do this place the cursor on the 6:15-6:30 candle when it closes at 6:30 am.
The data window opens and you can see the highest number.
Forex Net Trap System
17
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 21
In this example, the highest the market went was 16552.1 as shown below.
You would place an order to buy at 16557.0 at IG Index or 1.6557 with another
provider. This is 16552 plus 5.0 (5 pips)
I usually round the IG Index number to the nearest whole number.
This is adding 5 pips to the highest point of the 6:15 candle. In forex prices are
normally quoted to 4 decimal places and a pip is normally 0.0001.
For example in GBP/USD 1.6552 is the usual way it is quoted and adding 5 pips
would be adding 0.0005 giving is 1.6557.
I’m going to show exactly how you would place the trade in a later section.
Forex Net Trap System
18
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 22
Risk Management (This is very important,please do not skip this)When you place a buy order as illustrated on page 18 you would place an ‘If Done’Stop loss 30 pips below buy trade order.
This means you would set a maximum risk for the trade. If the trade was filled at
1.6557, then turned around and went down you would minimise your potential loss to 30
pips.
In the example on page 18 a Stop loss would be set at 1.6527 or 16527.0 at
IG Index.
You know the risk of the trade and can calculate your % of trading account that is
risked on every trade.
For Net Trap, I recommend never risking more than 2% of your tradingaccount on any one trade.
For a £3,000 trading account, a trade of £2 a pip would represent 2% of the account.
£2 per pip x 30 = £60 risk per trade. £60/3,000 = 2%.
If you have £1,500 trading account 2% would mean you should trade with £1 a pip.
The risk per trade would be £30.
For a £300 trading account you should trade for 20p a pip, giving a risk per trade
of £6.
This is very important and means you can be confident in your trading knowing you
are conservatively managing your trading risk.
You also know you will still be around trading this time next year.
With Net Trap I always use a 30 pip Stop Loss and a 50 pips Profit Target Limit.
Exit Strategy
When you place the Buy order you set an ‘if done’ order to automatically close the
position if the profit target of +50 pips higher than the buy price is hit. This is called a
Limit Order.
I will show you exactly how to do this later.
In the example on page 18 the Limit order would be placed at 1.6607 or 16607.0 at IG
Index which is 50 pips above the buy entry price of 1.6507.
Forex Net Trap System
19
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 23
C). Check back at 8:30 am.
If the profit target (Limit Profit Order) or Stop Loss has not been hit, you manually
close the whole position at 8:30 am at the market price.
This is done by selling the GBP/USD position at the market price at 8:30 am. You do
this by logging into your spread betting account and placing the live trade.
If the buy trade has not been triggered, and was not done cancel the order at 8:30 am.
In the above example, at 8:30 am the market had risen to 16595.6, as shown below.
You would close the position by selling GBP/USD at 16595.6 which was 38 pips profit
in the above example.
I’m going to show you lots more real trade examples to make sure you get this.
Sell Signal
A). 40 MA is falling.
40 MA must be falling by at least 1 pip during the last 10 bars and with no more than
2 consecutive candles where 40 MA is rising. Ignore candles where 40 MA is flat. See
example charts. If there is no clear direction, don’t place an order.
B). If A) is satisfied, consider placing an order to Sell at the Low of the 6:15 candle
less 2 pips.
Forex Net Trap System
20
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 24
Why 2 pips and not 5 pips like the buy order?
Because you need to add the 3 pips spread to the buy order, but not to the sell order.
Risk Management
Place ‘If Done’ Stop loss 30 pips above the Sell price.
Exit Strategy
Place ‘If done’ order to Buy at 50 pips below the Selling price
The position will then be closed automatically if the trade is triggered and the profit
target of +50 pips is hit.
C). Check back at 8:30 am and if the profit target or stop loss have not been hit, close
the whole position at 8:30 am at the market price.
If Sell trade is not triggered, cancel the order at 8:30 am.
No Trade Rules
Some days the 40 MA may be flat at the close of the 6:15 am candle and may be
indecisive for the preceding 10 candles, some going up, some going down, some flat.
If it is not visibly trending down, or up, then stand aside and do not place an order.
This keeps you out of non trending, more risky markets.
If in doubt, stay out and don’t place an order.
Many days it is very clear with the 40 MA clearly rising or falling, but some days it is
not.
On these days you should check each bar by placing the cursor over each candle stick
and checking the last 10 candle sticks and to see if it is going up or down.
If there were more than 2 candles in the opposite direction then you would stand aside
and not place an order, and wait for the next day.
Do not guess and place a trade anyway, the key to successful trading is protecting your
trading account from losses.
Remain disciplined and check again next day. There will be lots of opportunities; this is
where patience is required, just like when fishing.
I’m going through trading examples next so you can see how easy this is to do.

Trade Signal Examples
Trade Example 1
Open your GBP/USD 15 minute chart at around 6:25 am before the close of the 6:15-
6:30 am candle.
Check the direction of the 40 bar MA (Moving Average).
In the above example the pink line is just going up for the period of the last 10
candles.
Make sure it has not turned down for more than 2 candle sticks in the last 10,
ignoring any flat bars.
Forex Net Trap System
23
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 27
You can read the value of the 40 MA by moving the cursor over each candle and
comparing candles.
In the above example MA40 is rising, even though for the last two candles it is flat (we
ignore candles where 40 MA is flat).
At 6:30 am, consider placing a buy order to buy GBP/USD at the high of 6:15-6:30
candle plus 2 pips plus the spread (0.0002 + 0.0003 = 0.0005).
In this example a buy order at 1.6383 (1.6378 + 0.0005 = 1.6383) would be placed
with a stop loss of 30 pips and a profit target of 50 pips.
For a buy order the stop loss is 30 pips below (-0.0030) the entry price so it would be
1.6353. The profit target would be 50 pips (0.0050) above at 1.6433. Confirm the order
and leave the computer.
On IG Index this would be a buy order at 16383.0 with a stop loss of 16353.0 and
profit limit order of 16433.0
Forex Net Trap System
24
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 28
Check back at 8:30 am and if the profit target or stop loss have not been hit close the
trade at the market level by selling the position.
In the above example neither the stop loss nor the profit target had been hit so the
trade was closed manually at the close of the 8:15-8:30 candle at 1.6395 for +12 pips
profit.
Trade Example 2
In the above example the 40 MA (pink line) is clearly falling.
The 6:15-6:30 am candle is at the bottom right corner of the chart and is just closing.
You are looking to place a Sell order.
Place the cursor over the 6:15-6:30 am candle and the box as shown above will appear.
Forex Net Trap System
25
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 29
The lowest point of the 6:15 candle was 1.6418.
This means you place a sell order at 1.6416.
For sell orders you deduct 2 pips from the low (1.6418 – 0.0002 = 1.6416) to get your
entry price.
Why is this different to the buy trade? It is because trading charts are bid charts. You
can sell at this level but if you want to buy, the spread betting provider will add their
spread.
It’s a basically their commission for doing the trade. They normally add 3 pips for
GBP/USD.
This is why when you sell you only have to deduct 2 pips and when you buy you have
to add 5 pips.
Your stop loss of 30 pips would be at 1.6446 and a profit target of 50 pips is 1.6366.
You would have placed the order on your spread betting platform and walked away.
Forex Net Trap System
26
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 30
When you checked back 2 hours later you would have been pleased to find the trade
hit the profit target for +50 pips profit, after hitting the target automatically just after 8
am.
Trade Example 3
At close of 6:15-6:30 am candle the 40 MA is just going down.
At 6:30 am you would consider placing an order to sell at the low less 2 pips which
would be 1.6540 with an ‘If done’ stop loss of 30 pips at 1.6570 and a profit target of +50
pips at 1.6490.
Forex Net Trap System
27
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:17 Page 31
You would then walk away and check back at 8:30 am.
The trade was not triggered until 8:18 am when GBP fell and first hit the sell order at
1.6540 and then hit the profit target at 1.6490. It was automatically closed out at 8:30 am
for +50 pips profit.
The chart below shows the numbers more clearly.
The above chart shows the 8:30 candle hit a low of 1.6486.

When the Market is Moving QuicklySometimes the market is moving quickly at 6:30 am and the 6:15-6:30 am candlestick closes at its highest point or its lowest point.
In other words the market is heading quickly in the direction of the 40 MA.
When this happens if you are very quick you could buy or sell at the market instead of
placing an order (allowing for the +5 pips or -2 pips for the correct entry point).
However, if the market has already moved 10 pips in the direction of the 40 MA past
the entry point, don’t chase the market.
If you have time you can wait to see if it moves back to the entry point and then get in
or you could set a Limit order at the desired entry point.
A Limit Order is placing a trade order to buy that is below the current market price.
This means you could still set the 30 pips stop loss and 50 pip profit target, and if the
market falls back to the entry point, the trade would be triggered.
This is the best way to do this as it means you could place the Limit Order and then
leave the computer and come back two hours later.
Sometimes it won’t have been done and you may have missed the move, but this is the
safer way to trade.
In trading you always have to manage your risk as first priority.

A Note of CautionWhilst all of these examples are real, not every trade signal produces a winningtrade, and as with any trading strategy, you will have losing trades.
What makes this strategy so powerful is your potential losses are always known and
managed.
This gives you an excellent opportunity to trade successfully as an independent trader
in the long run.
This strategy keeps you out of non trending markets. It also has an additional safety
valve, so if the market turns just after you place your order and the trend does not
continue, your trade will sometimes not be triggered. Potential losses are reduced.
Because you simply place your order and go and do something else, this strategy
reduces the emotion of trading. The worst thing is sitting watching a trade, as you are
tempted to take small profits, before hitting the profit target.
As with all things worthwhile, it will need some practice and I suggest you use a demo
account or trade very small sizes until you are comfortable, with trading this strategy.
You should also follow the method and not change it. This strategy has a fixed stop
loss and profit target for specific reasons and for the GBP/USD pair only.
This is based on hundreds of hours of research and trading experience.
Don’t get greedy and always trade according to the risk management rules of never
risking more than 2% of your trading account on any one trade.
The key to being a successful fisherman is taking a consistent catch, to provide a
reasonable daily diet. Used wisely you can learn to trade to provide a consistent additional
income for life – now that is definitely worth the initial effort.

An order to Sell GBP/USD at 15831.0 could have been placed. Two pips lower than
the lowest level. (With IG index a pip is not 0.0001 but is simply added or subtracted
to/from the whole number).

In this example, I am assuming a trading account of £1,500, so am risking £1 a pip
which is £30 risk (2% of £1,500).

Returning at 8:30 am you can see the market did go down and the order was filled.
It went down to around 30 pips in profit, then retraced and went back up and through
the stop loss.
This trade was closed automatically just after 8am hitting the Stop for a 30 pip loss.
Not all trades are winners and that is why we have good risk management rules only
risking 2% of the trading account and having a stop loss of 30.
We are managing our risk and in the long run have very good potential to profit.
Trading like this puts you in a strong position, and you could use this system to your
advantage for years to come.
And of course I’ll be going through weekly trades with you in my Monday updates.

Questions and Answers1. How do you read the 40 MA when it is quoted to 5 decimal points?
Some spread betting companies quote prices to 5 decimal places. For example 1.64563.
In this situation, when checking the 40 MA, I would round the fifth decimal place to
the nearest whole number.
For example 1.64563 would be 1.6456.
1.63288 would be 1.6329
For the MA to be qualify as going up it should be going up by at least one whole pip.
If 40 MA is not going up by at least one whole pip over previous 10 candle sticks, don’t
place a trade.
The same principle applies when the 40 MA is going down for the sell trade.
2. Why do you add 5 pips to the high of the 6:15-6:30 am candle stick to a buy trade?
This is because we want to make sure the market goes higher than the previous high by
2 pips to trigger the trade.
On a buy trade you have to also add the spread which is effectively the spread betting
companies commission.
Charts show the bid prices and for the ask prices you have to add the spread.
The spread for GBP/USD is usually around 3 pips.
This means we add 2 pips plus the spread of 3 pips, meaning a total of 5 pips would to
be added to the buy trade.
If your spread is more than 3 pips or less then you need to adjust the pips you would
add. For example if your spread is 2 pips you should only add 4 pips. If it is 4 pips you
would add 6 pips to the buy trade.
3. Why do we take off 2 pips from the lowest point of the 6:15 to 6:30 am candle stick?
This is because we want the market to turn down lower, lower than the previous bar
low to trigger the sell trade.
Since charts are the bid price, we do not need to deduct or add any other spread, so we
Forex Net Trap System
59
Net_Trap_Book:GR_bookpages 3/3/10 16:18 Page 63
only deduct the 2 pips.
This should be the same for whatever spread betting provider you use.
4. Do the daylight saving time changes (the clocks changing by one hour in Springand Autumn) affect the Net Trap System?
There is a one week difference in the days that the time changes take place in the UK
and the US.
This can mean the week in between can be more erratic for the system and it is
probably best not to trade until the clocks are both adjusted.
Also note some forex charts show time in Greenwich Mean Time. This means during
British Summer Time, the times on the charts can be one hour earlier than actually in the
UK.
5. Should I trade the Net Trap System every day?
I find it is better to check the charts every day and check for the trade signal as
normal. I don’t take any notice of possible news announcements, FED rates decisions,
Bank of England Committee meetings etc.
I have found most news releases happen later in the day and beforehand the market
can still offer some great trades.
6. Should I stake the same amount every day?
I recommend staying within the 2% risk management staking size is best. This means
as your trading account grows; you could increase your stake (remaining within the 2%).
I would not recommend staking more than 2% too early as you run the risk of
damaging your account prematurely.
One of the secrets of successful trading is not getting greedy and being content with
consistent small gains over time.
6. Who do I contact if I have questions?
I’ve designed this system and manual to cover all bases but if you have any other
technical questions please email me directly at [email protected]
Please remember that I’ll also be going through new FAQs each week in my weekly
updates.

A Final WordCongratulations you now have completed the guide to the Forex Net Trap System.
Put it to good use and use it wisely.
Successful independent traders put into practice what they learn and remain focused
and disciplined.
My advice is to take things slowly, and really learn how to do this before risking real
money.
It is far better to practice using a demo account or with very low stakes before you are
comfortable with this.
This system is relatively simple, so you should get this quickly with a bit of effort.
Trading forex like this with discipline and risk management means you have an
excellent opportunity to profit in the long run.
I look forward to hearing your success stories.
Best Wishes,
