Another New Equity High - IFCN Wk 61 –Mon- Equity: $2,659.74

We are doing something right.

On Friday we closed very strong in our positions in XAG (silver), and FirstStrike Plus positions of gbp/jpy and gbp/usd. By Monday morning, the prices were much less favorable, but still favorable enough in the Sterling pairs to take decent profits.

Last week the long FSP eur/usd was a disappointment bringing a loss early last Friday. By Friday, we had significant losses in the short usd/chf and the long usd/jpy pairs too. That is what one can expect after a large, profitable week like the previous one.

Maybe we will start to get some basing action in these currencies and some strength vs. the dollar. It is a long week until the monthly Employment report this Friday.
