Currency Rally? IFCN Wk 42 – Mon- Equity: $1,455.05

We got filled on all five of the week's FirstStrike trades and so far, only one has been stopped out – the short Usd/Jpy.  

Of the four that went profitable, only the Gbp/Jpy was faltering as I write this, and probably will be stopped out soon.

The 50% profit trailing stop has been placed on the remaining 3 trades because they all had approximately 300 pips or more in profits at their peaks today. The markets' speed smells of corrective action, so it pays to be prudent when we are seeing such incredible volatility.
