    Thats what I was looking at. How much interest do you earn over the weekend on a trade like this?

    I havnt worked it out on a % basis but 3 days FX interest is $91.30 on 1 contract ($1290) .

    I closed my NZD/EUR @ .5572 + 91 pips

    My EUR/USD is still open + 189 pips so far

    AUD/USD still open +2 pips plus interest earned over the weekend.

    Started out as a tough week but break even in the end. Next week will be a good start with my open trades. Up 700 pips so far this month so not sure if this is good/average results or not. Its really hard to find what people are returning each week so no idea if these are normal results but with 30% returns in 2 1/2 months Im happy with my system so far.
    My EUR/USD trade is still open with +

    1.3680 would give me a cool 250 pips. Have moved my stop up to lock in some profit. Im getting a bit nervous about my Aud/usd cross. Have tighten my stop on this one.

    have you got a target to short from?. 1.3740 is the 61.8% retracement of the nov-jan fall.

    No I only trade these 3 currency crosses. still have NZD/EUR open but this was really only a hedge againt the Euro dropping last night. Will look for simi break outs later today in Asain trding and try to get on the next ride. Usaully get a spate of small losses after good days like this but thats my trading stlye. Thats why Risk/reward ratios are so important.

    Dont be afraid to take small losses. Be less afraid to take large wins.
