USD fell against all major currencies. USD/CHF now below parity at 0.9995 and USD/JPY trading at below 88. Funded additional $105 to accumulate new long USD/JPY and USD/CHF positions.
( $227 + new funding of $105 )
-$79
Biggest drawdown to date. Dragged down by paper losses in my accumulation of long USD/JPY positions. Profit taking on previous long USD/CHF positions and daily scalping trades not sufficient to overturn those paper losses due to reduced trade sizes. Will continue to buy USD against JPY whenever there is a significant dip in the pair. Accumulated about 12,000 units so far. USD/JPY hit a day low of 88.35 and trading at 88.55 currently.

USD/JPY recovered from low of 88.57 to trade at about 89.14 currently. USD/CHF dropped from day high of 1.0133 to current price of 1.0088. Funded another $48 to buy some long USD/CHF positions in addition to USD/JPY during the earlier plunge of the USD.

Back on the winning track. Just like yesterday, USD/JPY stayed range bound for most of the day between 88.70 and 88.90, until towards DOW’s opening where it hit a high of 89.10 before retreating back below the 89 level.
-$57
Biggest percentage drawdown to date. USD up against other major currencies except JPY, as the DOW declined about 150 points currently. USD/JPY spent most of the day within the range 88.70 and 88.90.

Another down day but still cautiously optimistic of getting a profit for this month. Trading according to plan and fine tuning trading model for subsequent months’ trading.
With the increase in commodity, stock and other asset prices, and the FED signalling a zero interest rate environment for an extended period of time, personally think the only way out is to intervene in the forex market and push up the USD to prevent inflation from building up. I expect a coordinated effort among central bankers soon. Just my amateur guess.

Funded additional $67 when USD/JPY went under 89.0 again to buy USD against JPY for the medium term. Currently holding about 10k long USD/JPY positions besides the usual day trades. Will need to return the excess $105 back to bank account next month, bearing any unforeseen financial damage. Significant weakening of CHF and EUR seen. Waiting for possible BOJ intervention. Good test for my trading model these few days.

USD continued its downward move against JPY, hitting the day’s low after Bernanke’s speech. Profit from daily scalping eroded by long term long positions of USD/JPY.

Updated after close of trading. Biggest percentage drawdown. I do not see it as a loss but rather, an investment cost. Analogous to buying fish at wholesale prices and selling them to customers at my stall. My stall is now stock up with fish for next week, and is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. I have no guarantee that my humble stall will make money month after month and expand into a mega supermarket. But the business so far has been fun and challenging.
Away from the fish tale, USD fell against major currencies. USD/JPY declined to day low of 89.45 before closing at about 89.65, as the DOW climbed 73 points. Because of USD status as a carry trade funding currency just like the JPY, voloatility will likely stay muted and the pair locked in range bound trading ( unless some forms of intervention occur ).

USD/JPY pivoting about 89.80 level for most of the day till about 2 hours before DOW’s opening, where it advanced beyond the 90 level. Currently, 1 hour into DOW’s session, USD is up against JPY, EUR and CHF.
Using the military as an analogy, some of my attacking forces have been stationed at enemy’s territories ( beyond 90.0 ) for possible assault. But need to be well prepared for possible enemy counter strike into my first line of defence ( 89.70 ).
For those interested, it took 5 business days for my previous requested funds to be credited to my bank account, from the time I made the withdrawal request at OANDA. About 1 day over at OANDA and 4 days processing over at PAYPAL. I am satisfied and happy with both services.
