Dollar Stronger---IFCN WK 59 -Mon- Equity: $2,101.55

The dollar was stronger at the beginning of the previous week, yet relaxed a bit by the end of the previous week, causing trades which had decent profits to give them all up. At the end of the week the only decent profit left in the account was from silver, (XAG) which is more of an IFCN position trade than a frequent tradeable. (But, the XAG trade will likely be the biggest profit ever taken in this "originally" small account when we exit at extreme prices.)

Because of the lack of profits in the 3 FSP trades still on board for Monday morning's open at 00:00 CST (06:00 GMT), we are not able to exit until we have a profitable weekly open or we legitimately get stopped out, or reversed.
