Fertile ideas like seeds need to germinate, to be nurtured and encouraged to develop,
they require the correct conditions to thrive and flourish and when opposed by setbacks
seek out the right solutions and apply them logically and dynamically to generate
success.
The Bamboo Fund has come a long way from a “simple” idea conceived three years ago
to make money by trading the forex markets and stock market indices.
With greater formality and structure to the Fund since January 2008, the Fund has
gone from strength to strength. An increasingly disciplined approach to managing
the money through more sophisticated technical analysis has seen steadily improving
performance coupled with reduced volatility.
The Fund aims to achieve an annual return of between 8% and 12% with a greater than
75% success rate from transactions traded over any 12 month period. Despite the
fact that everything about trading currencies can be specifically learned in advance,
90% of forex traders still lose money, so what is the likelihood that the Bamboo
Fund can deliver on its stated objectives?
A structured and highly disciplined approach to trading has been meticulously refined
over the last three years. A regular trading pattern has been established based
on a series of unique pre-determined technical indicators relying on prices reverting
to the mean. These are based on a simple trading system accompanied by a highly
disciplined approach to taking profits, “a little often” being the watchwords to
the Fund’s success. Patience, confidence and an ability to accept responsibility
are very important traits which are applied to managing the Fund’s money.
The Bamboo Fund has already executed 631 trades* in 23 months, across 13 currency
pairings, the FTSE 100 index, Gold and Crude Oil futures and 3 equities with a 91%*
success rate on discrete trades placed.
During the first year of trading in 2008 the trading return was 19.49% and this
has been followed up by 10.99% in 2009, a simple return of 1.38% per month.
A “simple” idea and seed that originated the Bamboo Fund has well and truly germinated.
It is ready to flourish and develop further while continuing to offer an exciting
opportunity for individuals to profit from the trading system, established solely
for the purposes of managing the Bamboo Fund.
