  3. So, took profit, made 0.4% on the trade, stop moved to break even plus 5.

    Another profitable night, and profitable week. Guaranteed over 0.50% for the day.

    This was definately a slower week for me, but, if all the targets are hit on this trade, it could make an addititonal 0.65%, bringing today up to about 1.15% profit

    All in all, a fair week. guaranteed 2% profit on the week, with a potential of 2.65% on the week.

    Just didn't see many trades to take since the BOJ anouncement on the Yen. Hopefully next week has better movements and more opportunities for my approach.

  4. Monthly update: 13%.

    Disregard any previous updates from this week! I think my math was wrong on one update.

    Also, final targets for AUD/JPY are:

    8145

    and

    8165
