Yessss

Looks like it hit your target already of 82.253. That was fast.

I'm eye-ing 82.80, might close that lot a little earlier at 82.74-6 as there's some resistance up there. I have another lot without a target, willing to take it as high as it's willing to go!
Once we clear 82.40 here, looks like it should be pretty easy to get your target. Not much in the way.

Ahh damn. Totally sucks. I"m from Ohio in the states, and honestly I can not recall a single earthquake happening here, and even better since we are middle of the land protected from the storms of the sea.

Although, we get some ravaging tornado's, flooding, and the thunderstorms are wicked.

Mother nature seems like she has been severely angry the last few years about something.

Ah, I see. I'm from New York and all we've really had is blizzards.

Yeah, there's definitely been some tragic natural disasters lately

6.2 aftershock in Japan 5 minutes ago.

Shirakawa promised "massive liquidity".

How you guys like all that liquid ?

It's been squirting out all over Toyko like an elephant cock !!!

(My target 82.87/82.95 B4 it's stops squirting)
(it takes at least a few hours to move 7 trillion Yen)

86 Yards of a major currency is all in a days work, but
when it's orchestrated by a CB, it usually comes in waves
layered through out the day.... Just an observation though.

Fucking LOVING it lolll

I have a similar target as you, my next target is at 82.80, but give or take - I may close one a little earlier at 82.74-6ish. I left one lot without a target as I"m willing to take it as high as it wants to go. Eye-ing 83.16ish.

Just came across Bloomberg.

There's a 3 meter tsunami approaching Fukushima (where the nuclear reactor is) it may be hit within 10 minutes.

Yeah, so much shit going on right now. Trade management is definitely the hard part. I may just opt to close out my positions, I'm up a lot more than I expected to be. I may just come back in later. A lot of uncertainty here.

lolol...

apparently there was a 5.1 aftershock in kyushu (?) and it's sent a 3 m tsunami toward fukushima,

just coming across bloomberg, there was a hydrogen explosion at the fukushima daichi number 3 reactor a few minutes ago.

Looks like they are using all their liquidity to cool their nuclear reactors, I somehow did not expect it to stall like this. TP @82.70, I guess I'll just let it play out.

My 82.00 has been hit. My next target is at 82.80, close to yours and I'm trying to manage this trade.

I didn't expect it to stall at the 82.30ish level, I thought it may slowdown or retrace at the 82.80 level. Really not sure how to manage this one :O

I still see the Yen weakening to above 83.00 though.

82.25 is your level to break (DPP), then 82.40 > 82.80.

In reality, this consolidation does look flag'ish, if you don't mind the flag being at half mast anyways... LOL
