In my last post I focused on the Greek referendum and forgot to update my readers on my positions. I took several trades on Friday, the most important of which was an Aussie short. I left a pending sell at 0.7587, this was triggered in the Asian session on Friday. I rode this trade all the way to the close, when I was margin called due to the weekend leverage. Total gain +62 pips.

The margin call was a mistake on my part, I should've adjusted my positions much earlier. With the large volatility seen in the pair earlier in the day I thought that there will be time to do it before the increased margin kicked in. I was wrong. This means that I've lost 6 points in the orders quality category but more important, the max I can get from this section, no matter how much I improve the pending orders, is now 49 instead of 50 points.

I took several other trades during the day, most of which cancelled each other out. A USD/JPY short got stopped out for 12 pips. A EUR/USD short stopped for 13 pips and a GBP/USD short margin called (weekend) for +19 pips.

Overall a good result on Friday that allowed me to get back to breakeven territory. I'm currently down by only 5k this month and hopefully my equity will go up from here!
