<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>1. INTRODUCTION:</strong></span>

I wanted to write just a short blog to update you on the trades in position just prior to my vacation.

Whilst traveling on our "Maritimes" road trip I thought that I would have had a consistent internet connection to enable me to follow the 7 trades that were either in action or that I had my radar prior to leaving. Unfortunately the days were longer than I had anticipated and the internet connection was not 100%.

Add to this the Syrian uncertainty that I could not follow on a minute by minute basis plus all the economic data that was being published, I had no other decision than to close off trades as the week progressed based upon the news I had at the time of being connected to the internet.

I took some profits and some losses on the final trades as I closed them. Overall on this trade bundle establishing positions a few weeks ago, taking profits off the table and, taking some losses, in particular with the GBP/NZD and GBP/CAD I have lost 167 pips. I am not a "Happy Puppy" but given all that is going on at this time in the Fx markets I am happy to be out of all of these positions from day one with just a small loss of this size. As always hindsight is fantastic, I could have closed out at the best overall position of +329. C'est la vie!!
