Weekly update

Hello FX-world!

This week was a pleasent one in terms of USD returns, with GBPJPY being a strong contribution... Strong retail sales and and a reversal of the QE saw the GBP go stronger. It also seems like it was a good decision to close the short position in EURUSD with strong price-action on Friday. Actually, I have had a long signal generated on EURUSD for the first time since I started this blog... Very interesting indeed, and my sense is that positioning is very light for a higher EURUSD (supportive for my trade)... I will try to long this one on the discretionary portfolio as well.


Peformance stills looks strong for the algo (figure on the top) and also the discretionary portfolio managed to post positive numbers...

In terms of USD;

Algo USD 2131 (new high!)
Disc USD 381

Positions:

Algo
Short EURUSD (will change to long as soon as the markets open)
Short USDJPY
Long GBPJPY
Short USDSEK
Short AUDCAD

Disc
Long AUDNZD
Long CADJPY
Long EURUSD (when markets open, going for 2 figures, stops 1.4 figures lower)

Have a nice week!
