And now a message from our Sponsors, the BoJ:

Quote
The Bank of Japan is unlikely to sell the yen to ease the currency's appreciation, said Hiromichi Shirakawa, chief economist at Credit Suisse Group in Tokyo.
``So far this isn't the disorderly unwinding of the carry trade the Bank of Japan has been worried about,'' Shirakawa said. ``The Ministry of Finance will take a wait-and-see stance unless the yen goes through 110'' against the dollar, he said.
Japan hasn't entered the currency market since March 2004. The Bank of Japan sold 14.8 trillion yen ($130 billion) from January through March 2004, following record sales of 20.4 trillion yen in 2003, to curb yen strength. The finance ministry manages Japan's exchange-rate policy.

Roughly 15k on my platform, about 1k per lot for usd/jpy leverage. Each pair is different. To trade EUR pairs about 1,300 for GBP pairs around 2,000 per lot assuming you have 100:1 leverage

Could be, the man knows what he's doing so he very well could.

Dove,

I don't like the action, seems rather sideways don't you think?

I think we are close to the bottom. I have made lots of pips across $ pairs but I'm thinking we are close to the bottom. I'll be watching the market for some strength and be placing buys all the way back up. Be ready I keep hearing that the big boys are waiting for the dust to settle and pour it on. Everyone still thinks the $ is very weak. But what do I know.Next

Could be, could be. I've got a bottom around 109ish but with the JPY you never hit the exact retrace target because they Japanese are notorious dip buyers. Particularly in the high yielders, namely aud/nzd/gbp. So we shall see.
