It was definitely nice to get out of the USDCAD with an okay profit. Had I given it a few more hours every trade in that basket would have closed in profit but alas it's not easy to time the perfect entry or exit hence position size is my "super power". As you know the strategy calls for no more than two baskets at any one time and getting out of USDCAD freed my hand to take profit in a few Yen pairs and to improve the cash by 2.4% this week in the high risk account. That obviously improves the DD all other things being equal. Speaking of DD EURGBP threaded support at 0.8560 on multiple occasions likely stopping out traders with tight stops using other strategies and now finishes the week close to 0.86 so today's move was useful! It would continue to be useful if next week we could take out the high of this week's weekly candle at 0.8628 and I'll be watching for that. SO, now we finish the week Long EURUSD and long EURGBP....both EURO pairs. This does not concern me too much because I notice volatility picking up a bit as the equity markets convulse so I am hopeful that this volatility will give us a nice run.

While victim to summer low volatility EURGBP continues to hold above support around 0.8560 and resistance of 0.8725 though I note it is now meeting shorter term resistance via a series of lower highs going back through May into April. Likely to help our trade we will need a fundamental development, for example a delay to the June 21st "Freedom Day" in the U.K where the newest (delta) variant of COVID-19 is now the dominant and most contagious variant to date, causing hesitation about a full reopening in spite of the very successful vaccination program https://www.bbc.com/news/health-57434493. Or a trade war with the E.U over the Northern Ireland Protocol of the BREXIT agreement https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/leaders-in-complete-harmony-on-belfast-agreement-says-johnson-after-biden-talks-1.4589507. Obviously Euro strength would help too but the frankly I don't know what will be a catalyst which should not surprise anyone. If I knew what would happen next I would own the world by now. So we continue with the strategy which will increase the cash and reduce the DD caused mostly tonight by EURGBP while we await an erm.... favourable wind. That opportunity to increase the cash looks better this evening than it has in some time given the developments in USDCAD. USDCAD has put in it's strongest weekly candle in ten weeks and is now in the happy position of oversold weekly but overbought hourly. This was the development I thought would come sooner given the US Dollar index has already broken out of resistance and I find it a bit odd that it didn't happen for USDCAD with yesterday's CPI data which showed hotter US inflation than expected but the market Gods obviously needed today's less significant Consumer Sentiment Index or perhaps traders woke up from their summer rest in the Hamptons or some such place and decided to buy USDCAD. Either way it's going up and I am inclined to sit tight and let it.

There is both USD and CAD data today with Non-Farm Payrolls out of the U.S being a big driver. The USD appears to be finally waking up driven by yields which are showing an increased likelihood of rate rises driven by expectations of higher inflation. I think if USDCAD can break out of it's congestion today this could be a real mover and I am comfortable to let this run a bit to make up for the extended period we are stuck in EURGBP. EURGBP itself is continuing to be lethargic and it continues into the second half of the year I may begin using profits from other trades to reduce some of the biggest losers but not for now and not using USDCAD profits. If I have to cut losers in EURGBP it would be preferable to cut at higher levels and when the cash is higher too. I think we could do with a few winners psychologically and USDCAD is looking good this morning.

It feels a bit like the summer doldrums where volatility is drying up a bit as the market settles into June long weekend mode. USDCAD will continue to be driven by inflation news and EURGBP is fairly directionless. I would not be surprised if the Fed begins hinting that they are taking inflation more seriously soon enough though hopefully USDCAD won't even wait for that. This market has made a few attempts to rally already and this weeks weekly candle is something of a doji and inside the range of last weeks candle. A bullish argument could be made of that technical development so what the market needs to show some follow through is the slightest hint that inflation is not just transitory but actually a bit of a problem. I continue to take smaller timeframe USDCAD trades in the Alpine Managed Account. That's been worth a 2.5% improvement to the cash in May while we wait for the bigger picture trades to resolve themselves. I'm afraid some of my own accounts trade FIFO (First In First out) so Alpine has a level of flexibility that some of the other accounts don't have.

My optimism around Wednesday's USDCAD move was premature. It was a weak rally and basically a false start. I am not great at picking tops or bottoms but the strategy is designed to compensate for it. The rally in EURGBP off the lows provided a bit of wiggle room to improve the cash situation and by default improve the DD situation however in order to do this I must trade and trading is more risk even while we wait to get out of EURGBP at breakeven. Again the USDCAD move remains quite extended as it meets longer term support touched in 2015 and 2017 and you can see this in the monthly graph. It would be easy to let frustration about the extended EURGBP DD spill over into the fact that USDCAD has not provided immediate psychological relief but to be fair to the strategy it never turned on a dime but always did turn. Any talk about higher inflation is good for our trade but the market owes us nothing and it is our behaviour when things get frustrating that will win or lose the day. I will be keeping an eye on Canadian retail sales at 13:30 London time. Weather it's a strong number or a weak number it will provide some visibility and either way the USDCAD move is still quite extended and I am quite comfortable with the trade even if I also wish it would hurry up and turn back towards the moving average.

DD+swap, need more than patience and hope, today again a bad day. In run for the longer DD in history maybe

Yea tough DD. I don't see how yesterday could be bad as it was a Sunday but I take your point. All systems have their flaws and this is the flaw for a grid system. If I was trading Fibonacci set-ups with a tight stop loss I might have ten losers in a row which is a different psychological battle.
Gary Comey

Picking USDCAD first that pair has been showing some signs of exhaustion and may be forming a bottom via 1.2050. Separately to our grid, I have been trading this pair in and out in the Alpine client account only, slightly improving the average entry and slightly increasing the cash. This market remains deeply oversold with prices not seen since 2017 and with a monthly 14 period RSI measure not seen since 2007. I am quite optimistic on this trade and in my FXCM account I am actually trading this at three times the position size of the client Alpine account which is a deviation from the existing position size strategy though it will mean fewer total positions. EURGBP is now officially a pain in the butt and I will get out at not much more than breakeven when the opportunity arises. The SWAPS are adding up though it's not exactly an exotic pair so the SWAPS are still tolerable. 0.87 continues to be strong resistance and we probably need a EURUSD rally above 1.2180 plus a piece of fundamental news to get EURGBP above 0.87 with conviction. Technical analysis is a sort of self-fulfilling strategy though. We all see the same line in the graph making that line almost physically real. A daily close above 0.87 would be very useful technically and therefore in reality and we are less than 100 pips from that this evening. If EURGBP does not close first then in the meantime the USDCAD will likely bring the cash higher.

Our USDCAD is working out okay with a few winners. Right now it's deeply oversold hourly, four hourly, daily, weekly and almost at RSI 30 on a monthly timeframe. The plan is to be a bit greedy here. I am hoping to close this with all positions in profit. EURGBP is simply range trading between 0.86 and 0.87. The results of the Scottish elections will become more obvious over the weekend and perhaps that will be a catalyst for some movement next week in all Sterling pairs including our EURGBP.

On our Daily timeframe in the attached graph you can see EURGBP has been getting tighter into the apex of a wedge formation. EURGBP will need to resolve one way or the other and the excuse to break 0.87 may come from more optimism about the European vaccine rollout which up to now has been lacklustre at best. 0.87 has been quite strong technical resistance. My first preference is to get people back to cash for a few days to allow them to make decisions but as this trade goes on the balance of risks in my view is turning towards needing to place new trades to keep some momentum going. Getting the cash higher will reduce the DD anyway and keep us pointing towards our own personal goals. EURGBP WILLL RESOLVE ITSELF. I must admit small enough as the profit might have been, closing USDCAD in profit within 24 hours of opening it was satisfying. Having been down 10% in the high risk account we will finish April still down but less than 4%. No doubt the rest of the year will go better than Q1 so stay tuned.

In spite of the rally in equity markets today the Yen did manage to strengthen a bit pre-US equity markets open but is now more or less back to it's opening price. I got out. 1. It gives us more breathing room with the large number of EURGBP trades. 2. It gets us closer to being flat which is my goal. 3. In terms of Blackwave Alpine MAM account it more than halves the loss I took at the beginning of the month. So far this month after being down 10% in the cash we are down 4%. Who knows what EURGBP will give us with a week to go to the end of the month. This period has been the most difficult that I can recall including the big USDZAR DD of a few years ago. What saved us again was position size and the willingness to take a loss even if it was not a hard stop, it was more nuanced. If it had been a hard stop the loss would be 50% to the cash instead of 4% to the cash with a 2% DD and with a week to go to month end. The probability is that nothing like this happens again for years but it can happen. The likelihood is that it will spark withdrawals just like a good January brought on deposits. People try to game the system and generally underperform me. When things were bad I added $10K. When things are good I do nothing or withdraw. As you know I am contrarian. Obviously you must make the best decision given your circumstances but it's something worth considering. Anyway the goal is to get back to cash and with luck by month end. EURGBP has the wind in it's sails this evening. To the people who did not offer me advice. Sincerely thanks guys. :-) Even without your saying so I am usually thinking about you and your family.

Remember to close one of these baskets relieves some of the anxiety of having so many open positions. The question as with most things in life is not what happens but how you control your response to events.

USDJPY is looking encouraging and having gotten everyone on the wrong side of the fence by breakout out of longer term resistance it broke convincing back below and that is WITHOUT even a slight pullback in equity markets which will strengthen the Yen. Gold has been moving a little high in recent weeks while some stocks away from the headlines are not performing well. All is not well in the S&P500 under the hood I think.

Both of out markets have become difficult mind games. While we traded well above 0.87 on Friday the SWAPS accumulated would have made closing those trades a loss situation certainly by the time I try to close with several hundred lots across six accounts plus all the copy traders. The market will trade higher at some point and all know this, but as I have read about trading recently and believe to be true, money finds patient traders but those impatient for the money will lose it instead. It's one thing to say this but it's another to go through the emotions of patience and I assure you I am as human as the rest. It could be the market is working off shorter term overbought oscillators and you could even suggest a flag pattern on weekly timeframes which suggests higher markets. I can see on the graph where this happened in 2019 but the truth is I don't know what will happen and anyone who tells you they do is lying to themselves at best. Best I can say is with 99% certainty EURGBP will trade from weekly oversold to weekly overbought in the medium term, because it's always been true before. Up towards 0.88 that would give us a profitable trade in the medium term too.

The big driver this week was the fall in the Greenback and you can see that against the Swiss Franc and the Euro. Therefore by default the Euro was stronger helping our EURGBP higher and the dollar was as I said weaker, helping our USDJPY trade lower. That was the correlation even though I am officially not trading the same currency twice. Obviously EURGBP has had a good week and the weekly candle is extra significant in my mind because having put in a lower weekly low on Monday we are finishing the week close to the highs and well above the moving average. As EURGBP was responsible for the majority of the DD so the majority of the DD is now gone. There is some resistance at 0.87 but above that it's too early to declare a TP target. Obviously it's a balance between making the risk worth it and also reducing any further risk given the size of the basket. USDJPY is complicated but it did break back below the 110 mark as I suspected it would. You can never say anything in markets with 100% certainty but I wonder what it will do if the equity markets have a few bad days and capital moves to the Yen. My bet (literally) is that a pull back off all time highs in the equity markets will help the USDJPY trade further. In short progress after some anxious weeks I'd imagine.

Our two markets EURGBP and USDJPY continue to trade in deep overbought and oversold territory and the difficulty is that both are getting deeper into DD at the same time. You might call that bad luck but we are where we are and as always our business is with the price. As you know there are various "soft" stop loss levels depending on high, medium or low risk. The most immediate danger is the High Risk account obviously and then on down the line to the low risk account. Therefore IF both markets continue to move deeper into DD AT THE SAME TIME I will begin to prioritise the EURGBP trades over the USDJPY trades and begin to cut some of the biggest losing USDJPY trades first. This will improve the USDJPY average entry and relieve some of the pressure on the account in general. Rather than the blunt instrument that is the hard stop loss, this strategy is more nuanced and in my opinion easier and faster to recover from. IF however one market eg EURGBP begins to improve then that improved DD will allow some flexibility on what we do with USDJPY. If USDJPY improves first then that also gives us more wiggle room overall. While I see the USDJPY break of the multi-year wedge formation at circa 110.00 I am not that impressed with the follow through so far even though the S&P500 has passed 4000 which in theory would weaken the risk correlated Yen. USDJPY is very stretched at this point and a close below 110 could have the "longs" scrambling to sell since their "buy signal" is now wrong and that could accelerate a move lower. EURGBP is responsible for most of the DD. It's trading a lot off the vaccination story which is going so much better in the U.K than in the EU and indeed France is now gone into another lockdown. Then again we've know this story for some time and the Pound has already benefited significantly from this fundamental trade. I do see support all the way down at 0.83 but in the 0.85's it is now as oversold weekly as it was at 0.83 back in January 2020. I think this market has a good chance of reversal. I know this update is a bit complicated but in fairness people have been looking to know what the plan is and this is the plan.

USDJPY: Average Entry circa 108.20, EURGBP: Average Entry 0.8725. Having begun the week well it takes a bit of a psychological toll to see the EURGBP gains taken back. The driver with both EURGBP and USDJPY is partly rising yields favouring the dollar against the Euro which both drags the Euro down versus the Pound and also pushed USDJPY higher too. The other major component is risk trends with equity markets largely bullish though the past few session have seemed more indecisive. A pull back in equity markets will favour the Yen and the overbought USDJPY will drop if this happens and that would suit our trade where breakeven is actually not that far off. Average trade length is 8 days since 2015 but obviously averages don't tell the full story. There were long periods in every year where I opened trades as per the trading strategy and we got stuck in them for longer than was comfortable. This happens and it's the downside of the strategy. If position sizes were too large it could be fatal but they are not. However that is why I am always banging on about position size.

USDJPY: Average Entry circa 107.85, EURGBP: Average Entry 0.8725. If it seems like our trades have gone nowhere in a week and that's because it's true. Right now the market is trading very close to how it finished last Friday represented by weekly doji (type) candles so in layman's terms after such an extended move both markets are indecisive. Frankly this is boring and if you are bored too then that's at least two of us. It occurred to me during the week that it's when we don't give in to fear, greed or boredom that extended profitable strategies are built. Both markets remain quite extended but don't always turn on the dime we are looking for.
