Here are my open positions on the live side of things:
EUR/CAD Short at 1.42524/TP 1.42424
EUR/GBP Short at .79061/TP .78961
EUR/USD Short at 1.27728/TP 1.27600 w/10 pip grid starting at 1.2760 down to 1.2550
GBP/JPY Long at 173.231/TP 173.331
USD/RUB Short at 39.756/TP 39.656
Notes
I held the EUR/CAD short, EUR/GBP short, and GBP/JPY long throughout last week's roller coaster and now basically want to exit those positions, albeit at an extremely narrow profit so that I can move on to other trades I'm more excited about. Additionally, I'm naturally leery about getting into additional pair positions at this point given last month's debacle where I ended up far more overexposed than was comfortable due to my continuing to trade 1 x equity leg positions after the usable margin level exceeded 70% (by quite a bit) and when I was carrying, I think, 2-3 "dogs."
In any event, the EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY positions are now quite close to their TP's, after which I can concentrate on EUR/CAD, which is quite a bit off its entry price.
The USD/RUB is a long-term carry trade that I'm primarily in for the swap, but also wouldn't mind getting out of that position because it does not appear to be very productive from the mere price side of things.
Due to the fact that EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY are in an extremely narrow range today, I'm passing on adding any positions to those. EUR/CAD is above the .764 at this point in time, so I will also be passing on an addition there. I fashioned an entry order to add to the EUR/USD short at the .764, which executed almost immediately and changed the average price for the net position; I consequently changed the target price for the net position to fit into the grid and added grid levels between the TP and the next grid level.
I'm standing aside from adding to the USD/RUB short position for the time being.
Usable Margin: 80.41%/Usable Maintenance Margin: 60.81%
On the demo side, I've made a few minor tweaks to target prices in light of the 4H ZigZag indicator, as well as added some entries where it seemed appropriate ... .
