Last week was a great week. I racked up 619 pips (highest tracked-week yet) on light trading. Some of the profits came from short Yen positions held over the weekend. A substantial part of profits also came from positions on the Canadian Dollar. Mid week I had recommended looking at the Canadian crosses for possible plays (See post, Blame Canada! Loonie Strength on Speculation of Interest Rate Hike). All three discussed Loonie positions played out very well.
Trade ideas for this week coming out in the next post.
