Our GBP/USD started the day with the first entry. Going Long the pair took profit when the U.K. economic news we were waiting on came out in favor of the Pound pushing it to profit. Because of the smaller risk we took on the trade, the trade was good for a 1% profit.
The Carry Trade Intraday pairs had a similar day to that which we saw Monday. A slow indecisive day meant 3 straight losses for the strategy (GBP/JPY - .85%, USD/JPY -.30%, -.75%). The GBP/JPY finally got a long entry that had some strength but not enough to hit our profit target. It did end, though, closing out in the profit good for +.40%. On the day the strategy lost 1.5%.
The system ended the day down 0.5%
