    I'm an idiot...

    AUD/JPY is bouncing off 87.7. Replace every 86 with an 87 and you might have a wee bit better tip. AUD/JPY bounced off 87.55 though, so this may not play out the same tomorrow...

    Quiet day, AUD/JPY finally broke through 87.7. We'll see how the retracement goes.

    AUD/JPY doing alright, I'll wait and see whether I should add another unit next week.

    Good day. It's starting to feel like the system is gaining traction and gaining enough to start offsetting the whipsaw losses.

    Another good day. I'll have to agree with uninvited_guest though, I'll feel more comfortable when the unrealized P&L becomes realized P&L.

    Unrealized P&L: $8,138
    Net Asset Value: $105,962

    AUD/JPY: Long 4 units.
    CAD/JPY: Long 1 unit.
    EUR/AUD: Short 1 unit.
    GBP/CHF: Long 1 unit.
    GBP/JPY: Long 2 units.
    NZD/USD: Long 2 units.
    USD/JPY: Long 1 unit.

    No whipsaws today. Very unusual for a Monday, based on experience in previous weeks. Unrealized P&L getting high, wouldn't mind locking in some gains, but the system is designed to cut losers short and let the winners run - so let them run I will.

    I've hit a few risk controls. AUD/JPY is now loaded with the maximum number of units per cross, 4. I'm also short 8 units of JPY, the maximum individual currency exposure allowed by the system.
