Back in the top 10 of the Contest this month

I have closed my Usd longs today and are in the top 10 of the contest

I am feeling pretty proud of myself today, coming back from far behind
I started the contest shorting Gbp, which went alright at first
but sentiment in Gbp turned after a few days and left me almost break-even after being up 200+K

Going for a top 10 position today

I am looking to gain a top 10 position in the trader contest today

So I decided to short GbpNzd, GbpAud, EurNzd and EurAud

April contest at an end

I finished in a top 10 position this month
I am very happy with my performance in the trader contest this month
I finished in the top 10 after almost giving up in the beginning of the month

and then held on to my capital
I hardly had time to trade at the end of the month
and doing other things besides trading has taught me a lesson, too
One needs to be able to relax and focus on other things;
to step back now and then and watch market flows and direction…

Back in the top 10

I have been able to get back in the top 10 in the traders contest
I had left my EurJpy, NzdJpy and CadJpy longs in over the weekend,
they opened flat but margin on my account was down to 50% again
and I was able to open my GbpJpy and AudJpy longs again that I had to close Friday due to margin requirements
This morning I have made a profit of around 80K and I am closing my positions
I am back in the top 10 of the contest again - at 8th place
I will be looking for an opportunity to make a few more…
