OneNightStand trades for Friday, March 27, 2009
-None-

Trading account equity: $1,888.94
Loss from previous week: $ 43.20

Silver position equity: $ 948.00
(Current XAG price: $13.32 – 400 unit position average: $10.95)
TOTAL Equity: $2,836.94

Losing on both the FSP trades and equity from XAG caused a sizable drop in total equity. That is what drawdowns are made of. We can expect more of the same since we've had such large increases in previous weeks.

We soldier on.
