    small positions but been getting 40-60 pips a day for last few days and almost no bad trades - think I've been a bit lucky somehow
    exit strategy is not well defined as the entry strategy especially for losing trades as (quite frankly) that hasnt been needed.
    so maybe the 'fat tails' will get me in the end. when you're only taking little profits you can give a lot back quite quickly when the black swan flies overhead.

    Target reached on the AUD/USD @ 1.0010 for +151 pips. I had 2 contracts on this so does this count as 302 Pips?

    Stoped out of NZD/EUR @ 5846 + 18 pips

    EUD/USD buy order @ 1.3172 and target @ 1.3310 was hit while I was sleeping. +138 pips.

    So 438 pips, my best daily result so far
