Also note the "Monster Trade" recommendations below:

Sent in the Monthly Outlook Newsletter on July 4
The “Monster” trade.  This USD weakness must be sold on any residual strength as I no longer expect a reversal to the upside.  For the month of July, I recommend scale in BUYS (0.1 contract at a time) on weakness in the EUR/USD in the 1.240 to 1.255 range with looser stops than usual, around 1.233 (so explains the very small position size). The target areas are the longer term weekly retracements in the 1.278; 1.313 to 1.351 areas.

Sent in the Weekly Outlook Newsletter on July 18-19
The “Monster” trade on HOLD.  The expected pullback of the USD hitting a key 0.382 retrace earlier last week did not occur and was blown right through...continue to ring the cash register...target areas are the longer term weekly retracements in the 1.278 HIT; 1.313 to 1.351 areas.

Note: the EUR/USD hit 1.3004 on July 16, 2010 giving 500 PIPS in two weeks, if traded from the original entry, and then went on to hit 1.3108 by the end of July, just 22 pips shy of our second target.
