There were no OneNightStand trades on Friday, Apr. 10. Friday was a holiday in the USA and some places in Europe. The forex markets were open, but with slightly higher bid/ask spreads than usual. Still, there were no trades executed, of which I was glad. Funny things (usually not good) can happen on quasi-holiday trading.
On Monday April 13, 2009 at 00:00 AM CST I exited my short Eur/Usd and Gbp/Usd, and long Usd/Chf positions from the week's FSP trades. The trade prices are shown below.
Week of April 6, 2009---FirststrikePlus trade executions:
- eur/usd: Short @ 1.3441, exited at 1.3171 for 270 pips profit.

OneNightStand trades executed Friday, April 10, 2009:
-None-
Trading account equity: $ 2,130.05
Gain from previous week: $ 86.93
Silver position equity: $ 632.00
(Current XAG price: $12.53 – 400 unit position average: $10.95)
TOTAL Equity: $ 2,762.05
It is nice to see that we had a small but definite gain from the forex trading side, and virtually unchanged equity position from the XAG (silver) side. Perhaps silver is taking a rest before beginning a move back above $13.00.
The market is setting up perfectly for some bigger moves this week. It is mostly a matter of putting in the orders. AND-- putting on the appropriate position sizes.
I'm looking forward to this week.
