Trading Competition Progress
In todays update I’ve been passed by a couple of other competitors so now I’m down to 5th… maybe being risky would’ve been a better way to do well. I’ll keep playing it as I’ve planned and will be interested to see if any of those above me have a decent sized drawdown to help me up in the standings.

The 2 currencies that I’ve been trading in the competition are the USD/CAD and the AUD/USD, though everytime I look at my relative value charts I can’t help but wonder why on earth I haven’t been doing some short term trades on the GBP/USD, it’s been showing some quite nice gains relative to the gains on the AUD and EUR. Oh well, no doubt I’ll probably jump in just at the top
