Nothing new happens in terms of new positions, but it seems like old trends were resumed. Account Value jumped to 519k, hasn't been so high for in a month (after SNB intervention). Biggest open profit is on Short GbpJpy, biggest loss on Short EurChf (still just below Stop Loss). Still not sure what to do Chf pairs - SNB gives no chance to strengthening, so no point to go long. Fortunately, my systems tells me to stay away at the moment (except for EurChf) so no need to override it. Probably I wouldn't anyway.

Have you been trading for 40 years or were you talking about your back testing results going back 40 years?
