    Alright, so I didn't post for couple of days. I got filled all the scale-ins at 93.5 and 94.

    I successfully closed the 94 portion at 93.2 for 0.2% gain. So, total booked PL = 1.93+0.2 = 2.13%.

    Scaled-in again at 94 today for 0.25% risk as planned.

    Also, I decided to take another bet for 1% here. Short 1% at 94. Bidding around 93 and below on this extra risk.

    Filled the 94 scale-in at 93.2 for 0.2% profit.
    Also, filled at 93 - the extra 1% risk that I added yesterday at 94 for a profit of 1%.

    So, total booked PL = 2.13+0.2+1 = 3.33%

    I was ill the whole last week. So, unfortunately, could not take advantage of the massive moves that happened in yen. However, I had orders in the market - which worked just fine.

    So, on 25th, following orders got filled:

    1) Sold 0.25% risk at 94.

    2) Filled 0.25% risk from 94 at 93.2 for PL = 0.2%.
    3) Filled 0.25% risk from 93.5 at 92.7 for PL = 0.2%.
    4) Filled 0.25% risk from 93 at 92.2 for PL = 0.2%.
    5) Filled 0.25% risk from 92.5 at 91.7 for PL = 0.2%.
    6) Filled 0.25% risk from 92 at 91.2 for PL = 0.2%.

    7) Sold again at 92 for 0.25% risk.

    So, total booked profits on 25 Feb = 3.33% + 0.2%*5 = 4.33%.

    On 28th, shorted 0.25% risk at 92.5

    On 1st March, shorted 0.25% risk at 93 and 0.25% risk at 93.5

    So, just one more short order pending at 94 for 0.25% risk before I acquire my full position again.

    Today, as an extra short, I have shorted 1% risk from 93.5.

    Thats about it so far.

    Do you care to post the current open losses from these orders (90, 90.25, 90.50, 90.75, 91.00, 91.25, 91.50, 91.75, 92.00? Being that the Yen is breaking out to fresh highs here above 95.00. You don't have to, but I think it might be helpful for others following your thread here.

  9. Hard to follow what's going on... build losses into future trades?
