Take a look at the following. The first is the trades I closed before the end of the year totaling -$131k. Now take a look at my portfolio after that. Great extremely safe margin level with an much increased equity. It took a lot of nerve to dump those trades and take a loss of $131k. But it looks like it was a really good decision.

Market Breaks: Multiple FX Pairs Suddenly Flash Crashing, Bonds & Bullion Bid

In what some have suggested is a chained liquidation stemming from the collapse of AAPL shares after-hours, multiple FX pairs are flash-crashing across the globe amid still low liquidity conditions.
USDJPY just flash-crashed a stunning 4 handles (the biggest drop since 2009 according to Reuters) to its lowest in over two years, as the JPY was suddenly panic bid against the USD, as the pair tumbled from 109 to as low as 104.87. ...

I have been heavily invested in USDJPY short for a long time -- some trades as long as 5.5 years running with swap losses as high as negative $8,300. Take a look at the screenshot of my platform and you'll see what I mean! This is a real live account, not a demo! Any ideas which direction this pair is headed in the coming months? I would love to see a turnaround of sorts!!! Does anyone see the pair move into the 90s in the near future? I look forward to hearing the outlook from other traders... {image}



Now I see, what you did there! https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...5#post11827105


Back of my mind, I had you, today. Thinking long term, 5.5 years you have held those positions. If stubborn, not sure, but deep insight you have, yes.


The market is strong with you, it is.

Pretty much, this, I did today!

Some of arncap's positions were even briefly in profit just then!! I think it is the most impressive loss I have ever seen 1) for the steadfast belief that it will turn around 2) for carrying huge negative swap 3) for holding it for 5.5 years, however the way the market is going who knows he might even make some money by the end of 2019.

Very nice. Did anyone really considering 107.xx level when I say so. If yes, congratulation.

This daily candle has not closed but I suspect with NFP coming. probably will be like this at COB Thursday.

So...

1. Is this a reversal candle with the long tail?
2. Is the tail pointing the way?

This last move was total manipulation. Buying was outstripping the sellers. HFT needed to fill orders
Yet the mkt was still pulling back

The ruse is up Knew they were up to something

Didn't foresee it being the beginning of the massive, quick and sloppy move

Could be they needed liquidity and at the same time cover massive short positions in profit

Dont believe the apple hype bs for reasoning

the move was deliberate
