From 12 completed trades this week, it managed only 4 in the win. These were unfortunately not large enough to offset the losses. After I on Friday night, the only loss be stopped not have manually closed position, no position will remain open over the weekend and I `s earnings accounted for one weeks of -85 pips or -1.45%.

As in the previous week, I also undermined this week, a calculation error. Except that this time he not read off values ​​was wrong, but by a formula error in my Excel spreadsheet that I modified a bit on Sunday night. Things can happen. Annoying is that I calculated in my performance killer No. 1 - the GBPUSD at a higher risk than intended have been received. And how could it be otherwise, there was also this week, the worst-case scenario, and both long and the short-order, and both were gefillt trades completed at the respective initial stop.

Now I think about it seriously, to select at least one more stop in this pair, or the trigger instead of the previous weeks range, on-chart and align market-relevant points ...

After 7 completed trades with 4 winners, this week the bottom line remains a profit of +251 pips (+0.35%). Thanks to this, however, only the trades from the previous week, I was able to close on Monday all the profits. The new trades were rather bad than good. Above all, once again GBPUSD. The volatility in this pair is still very high, so that neither the long nor the short trade succeeded in winning enough to pull a stop to. Both trades completed at the respective initial stop. Before trading in the GBPUSD but very intermittent, I was thinking, here, first to reduce the risk (Size).

And so I will proceed in the future and with the other currency pairs: Does it run in a pair is not, for this pair is the risk reduced. Here again I use the GD 50, which is however not as far down on the equity curve of the account, but on the equity of each currency pair. If the equity in the 50 GD, the risk is removed. Thus, it should now only the cause of a bad performance hit, while all others continue with "full power".

EURUSD is contrary to my expectations, also on Friday continued to grow, so I with the premature end of my long trades (which it was incorrectly calculated due trigger), I did not drive as suspected more. The red lines in the following screen shows how the orders were supposed to be set. Accordingly, I would be the wrong trade on the short side and I had missed my stop lying now at TP 1. The result of the close on Monday, would be retired with at least +186 pips clearly better.

After the failure in the EURUSD trade on the short side, the long trade today reached the TP 2 and was closed shortly after the trailing stop. All this was only possible because I have calculated the wrong trigger. Thanks again for the information Andreas.

I probably mistyped me or read the values ​​of the previous weeks range in the wrong line on the chart. With the actual values, it would have been no false trade (which would have been missed by 3 pips) and the Long Trade had not yet reached the TP 1.

When I look at the current chart image look like me but had nothing better can happen. With a "near-test" of the April high of $ 1.3692 and a reversal bar in the H4 chart, chances for an overdue correction is not bad. As the week is almost gone, would not have much time for a better result.

EURUSD: The euro started the new trading week with a correction and thus not in favor of my long position from the previous week. But I was able to close the trade on Monday after all, even with +297 pips for the current week and provide a small cushion. I'll probably also need, as it has already given a false trade. The correction, expired today, after the short trigger at $ 1.3429 hit and marked the day's low was at $ 1.3381. Meanwhile, the share price to new highs on the road and my short position has been stopped and the gefillt Long-order at $ 1.35124. The increase was initially very dynamic and ended just below my first profit target.

The uptrend in the EUR / USD today marked a new high at $ 1.3440 and passed on the way to my first profit target. The Long-order gefillt yesterday in late trading as the market came in the wake of the Fed's interest rate decision in motion. A first portion of income so I have already implemented and tightened the stop to the entry.

The trading range for the previous week in the EUR / USD is down 456 pips relatively high. Because the trigger for the current week based on this range, these are now very far apart. Given the already very advanced upward movement, I have my doubts, whether another TP is reached later this week.

It is somewhat different in the EUR / GBP. The trading range for the previous week was significantly lower at 133 pips, so that the triggers are closer together here. In this currency pair has already reached my long trade at midday today the final TP 3, which finally ended with the trade +159 pips.

As I tightened the stops on Friday of the outstanding positions in the EURUSD and EURGBP very closely, they were also stopped out soon. The outstanding orders I have already canceled on Friday morning, so I have taken no trade with the weekend. Much better results could have the week did not, as most of "my" currency pairs for trading were in corrections.

After 11 trades with 8 winners, a weekly gain of 1.86% and will remain an equity curve that has long been noted once again on their 50's GD. Next week, the risk per trade will be increased again to 0.5%. Should I even have great faith in a trend, and 1% in trend direction are possible.

The Week at a Glance
Short EURGBP @ .8297 / close @ .8222 / +75 pips (+1.00 R)
EURUSD short @ 1.2840 / 1.2731 close @ / +109 pips (+1.00 R)

A definitive conclusion can unfortunately not make since for the open positions already part of capital gains were realized, but this can only be considered if the trades are closed on Monday.

At best it is currently running with the EURUSD. Here I could see the long trade from the previous week, on Monday close to +1.59 R and had this week with the trade in the opposite direction can already achieve partial profits. The remaining part of the item can no longer run in the loss, because the stop has already tightened the entry price. As it stands now, the start of trading on the TP 2 could even be achieved.

Less effective when it ran into this week with USDCHF. I was overweight, the risk in short-direction, as I assumed in this currency pair, a downward trend. The corresponding trigger was also taken before the course but then veered up and me with an R (-0.5%) ausstoppte. When I look at the current constellation, so I see a double-bottom and will in the coming week, the risk probably in Long-direction overweight.

The equity curve goes well to start the new week's trading below its 50 DGs, so I think the risk remains relatively small and for each currency pair max. Risking 0.75% (long + short). The potential risk to the overall 5-traded currency pairs, it is at 3.75% (worst case). According to the rules of the First and Second Strike system , I have determined the trends and triggers, and placed the following orders:

EURGBP is in decline, risk weights on short
Long @ .81908 / .81470 SL
Short @ 0.81470 / 0.81908 SL
EURUSD with no clear trend, reduced risk and no weighting

Short @ 1.26666 / 1.27698 SL
GBPUSD without a clear trend of reduced risk and no weighting
Long @ 1.56169 / 1.55211 SL
Short @ 1.55211 / 1.56169 SL
USDCHF is in the downtrend, short overweight risk
Long @ 1.03912 / 1.02808 SL

Sustainable trend movements were again this week, "scarce," says that my system worked only at the level of the loss limitation. With a hit rate of only 25% were missing the wheel while in the majority but the weekly income was 0.6% more bearable. However, I again have to find times that my stop strategy is very inflexible and requires optimization. This should then be implemented from next week by the trailing stop will not follow in a proportional spacing, but is designed to chart course-relevant areas.

Four open positions I take with me into the weekend, which represent their current stops, an overall risk of 1%. Even though three of them are currently in the loss, but they have made a small book profit.
