Just got back from a trip - kind of tired but catching a drop in the equity markets and the EUR seems to be following..

Short 500k EUR at 1.4181 - tight stop at 1.4191 and targeting 1.4150.. one trade and i will be off to sleep..

out at breakeven -- worse than expected retail sales in Europe yet EUR does not sell off -- feel like it should sell off so will probably re-enter short if we hit upper 80s..

Getting tired -- know that I probably have the right trade direction here -- but going to bed nonetheless

Took a short dollar/yen (long yen) 500k USD (running at 65% margin) at 85.12. very short term play -- tagged 85 in after-hours.. betting hedge funds and japanese exporters will take advantage of this and 85 is very polarizing.. will add to 95% margin if hit hits 85.20. Stop on all at 85.25 -- target below 85

Out 1.4340 (before profit target -- felt like a good place) -- account value 16,408
