Rally Anyone?-- IFCN Wk 51 –Mon- Equity: $1,493.55

It is amazing that we haven't had much of a drawdown since we made equity highs almost a month ago.

This Monday morning we didn't get the chance to exit any of the FirstStrike Plus trades held over from last week, namely the long Gbp/Usd from 1.5126 and the short Usd/Jpy from 95.39.

It was close on the Usd/Jpy. The open (95.44) was just a few pips higher than our short entry- I wouldn't have blamed anyone for exiting, considering a break even trade being almost a profit considering the amount of time the trade spent underwater last week.

No worries. This week's orders were placed with greater-than-average personal anticipation. If the trades get reversed, they will be at better prices than their previous stops-- and the risk wasn't that great anyway.

Here's last week's recap:
