In ForecastCity, the 4CastMachine AI engine updates Weekly Forecasts every Saturday on the daily (D) timeframe so you can catch major market waves with low risk.

The Trend Hunter Strategy shows you a new world you have never experienced before

Instead of staring at noisy intraday charts all week, you can review the market in 15 minutes in the calm of the weekend, spot where the next big wave is likely to start, and trade with a clear, low-risk trading plan.

Figure 1: EURJPY Daily (D) chart from 2012-08-03 showing Buy entry in the Buy zone, 10 stepped take-profit targets banking 9355 pips, and the 11th Free Trade closing at trend end for 3330 pips (12685 pips total).
Figure 1: EURJPY Daily (D) chart from 2012-08-03 where one Buy setup in the Buy zone banked 12685 pips across 10 stepped targets and 1 Free Trade.

Why Navid Jafarian created the Trend Hunter Strategy?

Founder Navid Jafarian began developing the Trend Hunter Strategy in 2007 and published it in 2012 after five years of teaching thousands of traders. During those years, he saw why most people lose money in financial markets. Most retail traders have another main job or business, trade with modest savings, and cannot handle the stress of watching fast 5m or 15m charts all day.

High broker borrowing ratios (up to 1:1000 or 1:2000) tempt small accounts to chase 10 or 15 pips with oversized lots. Normal intraday noise quickly wipes those accounts out. Navid Jafarian designed the Trend Hunter Strategy on the daily (D) chart so part-time traders can ignore intraday noise and catch waves of hundreds or thousands of pips across Forex, Gold, Oil, and Cryptocurrencies.

Historical example on EURJPY daily (Figure 1): On 2012-08-03, Buy orders opened inside the Buy zone on EURJPY with stepped take-profit targets. Over five months, 10 orders hit their targets for 9355 pips, and the 11th untargeted order closed at the end of the uptrend for 3330 pips (12685 pips in total without daily screen watching).

Five steps of every Trend Hunter setup?

The Trend Hunter Strategy covers the full life of a daily trade in five steps:

  1. Map the start of the trend: Weekly Forecasts mark the price band (Buy zone or Sell zone) where a new daily trend is likely to start.

  2. Wait for a daily entry pattern: Before opening a trade, you wait for a daily reversal candlestick pattern to form inside the zone.

  3. Move stops to Break-Even early: Once initial targets hit or price crosses WEMA-21, you move your stop loss to the entry price (Break-Even) so your capital faces zero risk.

  4. Bank profits in steps: Fixed take-profit orders (TP1, TP2, ...) lock in gains step by step at major support and resistance levels along the wave.

  5. Hold one Free Trade until the trend ends: One order with no fixed take-profit target stays open so you can capture maximum profit from the likely continuation of the trend.

Your 15-minute Saturday habit with Weekly Forecasts

One key habit of professional traders is selecting the best trading charts for the coming week while the market is closed and calm. Because 4CastMachine AI publishes all Weekly Forecasts on Saturday, you can scan dozens of markets in a few minutes and set your alerts for the week ahead:

  • On 4CM-AI Charts: Open any symbol you like on the daily (D) timeframe. Whenever 4CastMachine AI has forecasted that symbol, you see its forecasts directly on the chart, including the Buy and Sell zones, price targets, and the green arrow lines showing the most likely future price paths (future price waves).

  • On MetaTrader: By installing the ForecastFollow software, all analysis lines, forecasts, and past trade results are plotted directly on your daily (D) MetaTrader chart.

How Weekly Forecasts help you at your current stage?

  • Your own strategy already earns steady profit: Trade in the direction of the arrows showing the most likely path of the daily waves to increase your win rate and profit size.

  • Your strategy is profitable, but exhausting and stressful: Knowing the most likely price paths for the coming days and weeks removes daily stress and mental fatigue.

  • You win some weeks and lose others: Mixed results mean your current trading plan lacks a clear edge. Follow the Trend Hunter Strategy rules in this course.

  • You have only lost money so far: Pause live trading, rest, and study our audited archive since 2015 to see how patient daily trading works and let the Trend Hunter Strategy show you a new world you have never experienced before.

  • You have not opened a real account yet: You do not need a paid subscription plan now. Complete this course and practice for months on a Virtual account or demo account first.

The Trend Hunter Strategy has two versions: Simple and Professional

Simple version: This is the course you are reading right now. It is built for people who have little time to follow the market. Once you enter a setup and set stepped profit targets, you do not need to do anything for weeks or months while profits add to your account step by step.

Professional version: Built for experienced traders and investors, this version enters at the start of a daily trend and adds volume in steps as medium-term and long-term trends confirm, building compound profit without raising initial risk. The Professional version will be added to the Academy soon.
