AUTOMATED TRADING SYSTEMS
Last revision: 02.02.2017
LCPB is a fully automated trading system, developed by strategy developer and programmer Kay Stoeffler, CTO at ZefsTech
Ltd.
LCPB was programmed in MQL4 as a so-called "Expert Advisor" (EA) for the well-established and widely used trading platform
Metatrader 4 and is a product of several years of research, development and optimization.
In the development of LCPB, as of all other trading systems built by or for ZefsTech, focus was put on achieving long-term
profitability over a wide range of tradable assets (mostly currency pairs) under the occurrence of relatively acceptable
drawdowns.
The results of extensive back tests indicate a consistently profitable performance for the period of at least the last 10 years.
The LCPB EA can trade multiple currency pairs alongside other EAs provided by ZefsTech on one and the same Metatrader 4
account, being a part of a portfolio of diversified trading strategies that distribute risk across a variety of different assets and
strategies and help to compensate losses and minimize drawdowns.
The LCPB (London Close Pull Back) strategy is based on the fact that the market has a tendency to perform a pull back due to
profit taking around the time the London Stock Exhange closes, if at that time the price is near the session's high or the
session's low.
The LCPB EA uses a variety of methods to filter the signals.
According to back tests, the LCPB strategy works well on almost all currency pairs except of CAD pairs.
On the basis of the most recent back test results, LCPB is currently set to trade the following 20 currency pairs:
AUDCHF, AUDJPY, AUDUSD, CHFJPY, EURAUD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURNZD, EURUSD, GBPAUD, GBPCHF, GBPJPY,
GBPNZD, GBPUSD, NZDCHF, NZDJPY, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY
The LCPB strategy performs best if at the time of London Close price is near the top or the bottom of the session range which
ideally happens to be a strong resistance / support level.
Poor performance is to be expected if strong fundamentals are pushing price further and beyond the session high or session
low after London Close, without giving the market time for a break and a decent pull back.

2. TCPMS integration
LCPB back tests
Clients of ZefsTech can apply the LCPB strategy to their MT4 account(s) as part of their managed trading portfolio within
ZefsTech's Trade Copying & Portfolio Management System (TCPMS).
The TCPMS allows investors to instantly add and remove trading strategies from their MT4 account(s) and to monitor the
performance, temporary deactivate/reactivate strategies and, if necessary, close all or individual positions via the "MT4
Monitor & Control Panel".
More information about the TCPMS and how to sign up as an investor can be found at ZefsTech.com.
