End of Week Recap -- IFCN Wk 13 -Fri- Equity: $633.02

Quite a week.

I was amazed that I ended up profitable even though I had 5 losses in FirstStrike. The OneNightStand exits on Monday helped a lot. Position sizes were up enough that the profits were sizable. They made the extra equity that FirstStrike used up immediately.

Also, the SureBreakout trade added a well appreciated 80 extra pips!

Of the four OneNightStand trades taken Friday morning, 3 stopped out pretty quickly. One stayed viable, the Gbp/Usd and is held over the weekend for exit on Monday morning.

At least we are getting some activity in the account.
