Back in business

Good morning traders,

I'm back from my regularly scheduled deployment.

It took a couple of weeks to get back into trading after essentially 5 months of no access to my currency platform, and severely limited internet access for stock and options trading.

Here's a couple of pics and a video from my latest jaunt throughout the Pacific:

And here is our maintenance officer during an intercept of a Russian IL-38 near the sea of Japan.

On Thursday I was able to pull 98 pips by shorting Aussie against the US Dollar. I use a 4 hour chart, with a 200 period moving average as a trend direction indicator. I'm using Parabolic SAR as an entry trigger when price action is below the 200 MA.
 
I had good luck with this during my summer break, and my first trade back is validating the strategy for me.
 
 
As always, comment if something catches your fancy or if you have any questions or want to talk stocks options and currencies.
 
Keep trading,
STT
