A day of rest! --IFCN Wk 40 -Tue- Equity: $1,275.46.

Not much change in the forex markets after yesterday's stunning moves. Monday's dollar surge resolved into a sideways trading pattern. The Euro and the Sterling have been trounced very hard over the last 5 weeks. A rest for awhile wouldn't be unusual at all.

The week's FirstStrike trades are still in progress:
  • Eur/Usd: Short @ 1.4364, stop 1.4364.
  • Gbp/Jpy: Short @ 194.27, stop 194.27.
  • Gbp/Usd: Short @ 1.7872, stop 1.7872.
  • Usd/Chf: Long @ 1.1199, stop 1.1199.
  • Usd/Jpy: Short @ 108.31, stop 108.91.
Any FirstStrike trade not stopped out before Friday-- exits on Friday just before 15:00 CST.

Current equity is $1,275.46.

Hi Joel,

I'm showing an ONS trade for U/J last week - 9/5 (stopped out). Did you take that one?

There was no ONS trade in the Usd/Jpy:
The order for Usd/Jpy was the following:
BUY 110.16, stop 109.16.
If not stopped out exit Monday morning, 00:00 CST

The 10 period moving average was over the 40 as of Thursday night.

Found my error. I was taking the SMA from the hourly bars and not the daily bars.

Thank you again for sharing your methods.

Also, just to clarify, the simple moving averages for ONS are calculated based on Monday through Friday closes only. No weekend data is factored in, just as in the highs/lows, right? Thanks for your patience on this. I want to get this right.
