Also note the "Monster Trade" recommendations below:

Sent in the Daily Trade Newsletter on July 27-28
The “Monster Trade” initiation.  With GBP sentiment catch-up expected and the USD flirting with recent new lows while a key 0.382 retrace earlier last week did not occur leads to this trade.  I recommend scale in BUYS (0.1 contract at a time) on weakness in the GBP/USD, now in the 1.5450 to 1.5550 range with looser stops than usual, around 1.5400 (so explains the very small position size).  The target areas are the longer term weekly retracements in the 1.6200 to 1.7000 areas.

Sent in the Daily Trade Newsletter on August 4-5
CLOSE the “Monster Trade With GBP now in the 1.59 area we recommend taking profits as sentiment catch-up expected and the USD flirting with recent new lows at the 200-day M.A.  I recommend CLOSES and NO NEW BUYS.  Although our TARGETS in the 1.6200 to 1.7000 areas have not been hit, the move has been faster than expected and the GBP/USD is somewhat extended so you cannot go broke taking a profit as a pullback is to be assured.  CLOSE!!!   Great trade if you took it from the recommended 1.54 area when first initiated a little over 10 days ago for over 500 PIPS...
