Yesterday the pair chopped around and I didn't feel comfortable moving the stop. USD/JPY has broken down overnight, taking out the 100 level again. It's still crazy with volatility since everyone is spooked that the BoJ may intervene, so I'm giving this one plenty of room. Locking in an additional 50 pips.
Current closed equity: $76.23 (Blasted negative carry!)
Current position: Short 1500 USD/JPY from 105.40
Current exposure: 200 pips locked in, +$30.00 or +39.35%

This blog will chronicle my attempt to trade a very small account ($111.00) using the most aggressive position-sizing possible in order to grow equity as quickly as possible. I expect the ups and downs to be gut-wrenching. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE TRADE THIS WAY!!
Coaster Safety Spiel:
Keep your pips inside the vehicle at all times... blah, blah, blah...
I will be mostly trading the majors against the US Dollar, but I reserve the right to trade any pair I damn well please. (Though I doubt I'll be doing much trading of the Mexican Peso against the Malaysian Ringgit.)
My system for trade signals will not be much of a system at all... mostly discretionary calls based on the hourly highs and lows. This is by no means to be used as some sort of signal service. I'll post updates as I take trading actions, but by the time I post something, the opportunity to act on it will likely have passed.
I also have no desire to make this blog some kind of major time-waster for me. I will manage any comments or communication in the way that requires the least time invested on my part... which means I'll mostly be ignoring them. Please don't take it personally. With all that said, here we go...
