“Week In Review” – I remember having very good intentions about this at the beginning of the year. My adherence to that commitment has been…minimal. So, in the spirit of all those reviews I did not blog in the past, here we go: 07.05.09 – 07.10.09 A few statistics: Trades: 100 trades; 50 round trips [...]

The second full week of trading for the year at an end. Retail sales way down, foreclosures way up, a block in the Senate narrowly defeated to grant Obama the second $350B from the TARP ahead of his inauguration next week, Citigroup broken in two, Bank of America bailed out again ($45B now) citing “severe [...]

Well, nothing so dramatic as that really. Sometime yesterday andrewunknown.com went on the blink and blog ceased redirecting, but with some techkering around the problem seems to be resolved.

If not, substitute up-current) for some deep-fried, lemon-buttery fisholicious pips, just like momma used to make – except those were Gorton’s fishsticks brought home from the frozen food section. I: Monday, 04/28/08 @ 05:23 ET: S GBP/JPY @ [...]

Because pragmatic concerns (life) mean I can’t consistently cover trades taken session-by-session (that would amount to a form of slavery, anyway) or even day-by-day and I am a bit obsessive-compulsive about symmetry and completeness (e.g. “4 out of a set of 5? Throw them away” or “29 pips profit? No, it’s 30 or 20, but [...]
