EUR, according to the measure (not the usual currency strength indicators) used by this strategy should be very weak and heading down.
We'll see. I will enter EUR trades just before London tomorrow. If it decides to go up, I hope I catch it soon enough...

We have similar trades K!
But I am long on EURUSD. Only counter-trend at this stage. Still looking for a big short setup.
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

Yep, I guess those were "natural", as it were... Good choice for going long E/U. I am mostly surprized about GBP.
Hopefully the NY session blow the winds in our favour.

short AUDUSD (perspective ~ daily). long USDJPY (perspective ~ weekly). k
Closed the A/U trade with minimum profit because an opposite signal appeared. Took the long signal on N/U and N/J. Perspective - daily.

this week is not going well for this strategy.
some possible improvements for the next week: a) use trailing stops to minimize losses, b) stop at yesterday's extremum instead of a fixed pip distance, c) better treatment of gbp and particularly usd.
some work to be done with c)

Update: lost some ice cream money.
On the positive side, due to low risk, the explorer lost much less than most "rags 2" threads...
Explorer killed.

Need to rethink the strategy.
