A couple of my systems have been long yen for like 3 yrs. I've scaled out over time and my equity base is a lot larger today, so these big price swings dont have much impact.

As a trend trader with an ETF trend trading system on Collective2, I don't have a problem with the occasional rough patch. Its times like this that separate the well designed systems from everything else. After all, we are all trading stars when the there are strong trends to ride.
