Updates ILS, AUD, GBP, EUR

I'm back from vacation and i've been fortunate enough to close out both my Australian dollar and ILS positions well into the money.  While i've been gone it seems a large dollar weakness frenzy has begun to take hold of the markets.  In the past couple of days I have been building positions short EUR and GBP against the dollar.  This has been a futile effort thus far as the political environment seems to be driving massive dollar weakness, and we are testing strong levels of resistance.  I've added enough to these positions and I refuse to either flip directions or cut losses.  These currencies are fundamentally weak and borderline overbought.

That being said, there's a fed meeting next week.... so i'll probably either sell out or hedge some of my positions over that time period to avoid the chaos.
