The Profitable Trend Forex System, by John Chen, is a system for trend-spotting that allegedly makes it very simple for forex traders to cash in on any trends, in advance of any action, and to then cash out fast before it all goes awry.

Chen says that this system makes it feasible for even a beginning trader to make around 83 - 157 pips per week.

It's a familiar story and one that everyone has heard many times before. What we think would make Chen's system a real must-have would be if it consistently and reliably identified trends significantly before their formation.

The question then becomes, does it in reality forecast trends before their actual movements?

What Profitable Trend Forex System Claims To Do:

Trend Forex System (TFS) supposedly spots money-making trends a mile off and shows you the points at which to instigate the trade spotlessly. It allegedly also provides clear and formulaic instruction for getting out of the trade with maximum profits.

More particularly, Chen confidently claims that by using his system, it is possible for you to accurately establish whether or not a trading price will trend, reverse or stall. He states that this offers the trader a substantially profitable skill because then the trader can enter the market in advance of the next 'big' market surge.

In a technical sense, the Trend Forex System comprises a detailed plan - in Adobe PDF format - as well as indicators and templates for MT4.

John Chen boldly states that he has "never once had a losing month," and says that earning sums such as $4,900 in one week as an ordinary, average trader, is truly possible with his forex system.

What Profitable Trend Forex System Actually Does:

Trend Forex System is actually a concrete and reliable trading system that gives solid results for its traders. One particular customer reported over a 72% win-rate - even though that was accomplished with a somewhat modified approach to Mr. Chen's method - which could explain the disparity in results when compared to what the TFS website says.

The mainstay of TFS is to choose short term, over-bought and over-sold swings in stable trending markets, which is really a sound stratagem. Chen's money management system leans toward the conservative side. However, it is a profitable and worthwhile system.

The only real concern expressed by some users was that no Expert Advisor is included to automate alerts for any predicted trends; a custom indicator and MT4 template is included.

Conclusion:

The Trend Forex System will work just fine and keeps its promises - but it isn't a truly automated solution.

We highly recommend this system - rather than the majority of the 'black-box' programs - simply because of the instructive aspect of spotting trends as well as the different kinds of trends. It shows when you should jump in and when to jump out, as well as how to recognize which trends you should join and which to steer clear of.

In any case, when you consider Chen's 8 week challenge (you can see it if you scroll down on the website), the worst-case scenario is that it doesn't work out for you in your demo account and you then get your money back.

Furthermore - would you rather have a system that makes absolutely NO SENSE to you - yet one way or another just 'works' - or would you rather find out exactly how to identify trends that will create a profit for you almost every time?
