- going over my trading performance stats for the past month…looks like they're improving slowly but still need to inc my sharpe by a lot #

- what's with that epic candlestick on $EURCHF? it seems like a frequent anomaly in this pair… something I didn't notice before #
- my stop was too close in $EURCHF long, got stopped out at 1.5094 just before the big rise #
- stopped out of $EURUSD long (+14 pips) and $USDCAD short (+77 pips) overnight as expected…was playing the short term counter-trend only #
- left with two 1/2 positions ($CADJPY and $AUDJPY shorts) and one full position ($NZDUSD short), all in green, small exposure b/c it's Friday #
- looks like $USDCAD is in a range 1.07 – 1.08 now #
- $AUDUSD looks like a long to me, but I'm already in $AUDJPY short…so $USDJPY short by induction? $USDJPY looks shortable too #
