The ACD Method

  1. I had full shorts on GBPUSD and GBPNZD, a half long on GBPJPY that I should have closed when it didn't move as expected, but didn't. That got stopped out quickly. For the rest, alas I had popped a pill and was 2 hours into sleep when the alerts triggered. By the time I logged on (phone) and realised the magnitude of the move, it had retraced about half way. Took off half and closed the rest after I realised it was going back more.

    Can't complain. If I had set target prices, never in my wildest dreams would I have set them so low. As for the GBPJPY, lesson there, if it doesn't behave quickly, close the damned thing.

    There are more and more HFTs getting into FX trading and there is no doubt they are exasperating these moves. I don't think there was anyway to see that coming.

    I've been all over this move. Mostly in the HJ spread which has been the gift that keeps on giving. This has definitely been the place to be in the energy space.

    Would you believe our first 30 NL confirm came on march 4th at 1.65! If you didn't like that one for some reason there was a juicy one in June around 2.55.
