through processing, dealer positions that are usually calculated
electronically, are now having to be done the old fashioned way, by pen
and paper. With high speed/volume trading these days, things have slowed
to a crawl and customers have been turned away due to lack of liquidity.
That business may not come back today ahead of Friday's US payrolls
report, a trader says.

I am thinking that they knew most people would be playing the retracement (is that a word?) so they figured they better get some more spread in there to save some cash.

By the way, I do love scalping a 100 pip drop followed by a 100 pip rise...that makes the game a little easier.

P.S. the spread is at 2 pips now.

USDJPY is getting dangerously close to 98, if that one breaks decisively I see EURUSD through the roof.

is not sayd ..
there is a mathematical correlation between usdjpy, and eurjpy EURUSD

EDIT: as long as usdjpy and eurjpy goes down ... it is mathematically that eurud can bot go up. In best case eurusd can hold the level

The USD/JPY was below 98 two days ago, and even at it's current level is still up on the week.

I may be way off here, but I think price movements in the EUR/USD have more to do with the Euro than the dollar at this point in time.

Hmm, should I close those EURJPY and USDJPY shorts from last night? Got nice 200 pips from 125.5 on EUR so far.

I'm using fxcm trading station and the spreads I saw earlier ranged between 2.9 and 8...to 8 and 17 in a blink of an eye....

Anyone know the reason? I'm a scalper and it really screwed me up. I normally dont check that out unless I'm on for sunday.

Anyone know what happened for it to raise that spread up? Volume is still high...
