- Good US NFP (+236k vs E+160k). Book is long USD, stellar P&L performance slightly ruined by even better Canadian employment number (+50k vs E+10k) = USD/CAD lower.
- Best performance thus far is my short cable position. Have taken some profit tonight at +1.4911 but now am contemplating concentrating my long USD eggs in fewer baskets ie put more into GBP.
- Candidates for risk reduction obviously : USD/CAD and USD/SGD. The USD/CAD is a disappointment tonight whilst the USD/SGD moves far too slowly and returns far too little for the same amount of risk taken ie returns on risk limits used not efficient vis a vie other currencies eg GBP.
- Cable charts all look bearish with every reason to maintain an ultra aggressive short stance.
