Forex Challenge: Wk 7 -Fri- Equity: $514.88

It was a another week of drawdowns after a nice, but brief runup in equity.

These are typical actions of a market that is making up its mind to start trending. That is why you have to be vigilant to put in your orders and not miss the trades that pull you out of the drawdown.

There were no OneNightStand trades executed this week, as was expected. The trading pairs we are following made some key turns look like they may be getting ready for some different directions in the near term.

I've been taking the trades. I'm ready for great things. Any time now would be just fine! :)

One thing you learn quickly in trading is that the only thing you have control over is where you enter and when you exit. Simple, but not easy.
