volume dried up... still holding your long?
We talked about Volume and VSA trading earlier, just want to say on top of the discussion that;

The worst thing is that the tic data isnt even a printed price, its when the offered price moves within the spread. Technically its possibly to have no trading throughout the day with heaps of volume, if traders put in an offer and withdraws it before its printed...
Normally this doesn't happen too often, but it happens...

Nice to mention Kobe - history repeats itself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hanshin_earthquake

Every trader is using Kobe to judge this one, look at the GDP and production numbers coming out the 3 months after Kobe, now imagine what the numbers are going to be this time. Then have a look at the uJ chart and you can see why we are where we are.

I have a couple open positions EU and GU from yesterday, both 'probably' safe. But is it just me, this is the first time I've experienced something like this other than the 5 minutes around 'news', and I'm finding it quite bizarre watching my P&L fluctuate around so wildly.

I disagree, as a trader you never think about the underlying cause, you just trade the instrument.
I see your point cloggie, that's why I will never manage to be a successful trader. I cannot disconnet my emotions. I will not push Japan down the cliff.
But I do understand people that want to take money out of it and I do respect their ability to be rationale.

Do you have any clue what is going on right now? Do you even realise you are watching history in the making right here.
Can't believe people are trying to trade this

Considering 95% are scalpers on this forum... it is like a freight train has hit them!

good read



BTW: I do not understand people here complaining that they get burned with JPY-pairs. Sorry for your loss, I mean that really. But to trade over the last days with this pairs was a huge bet. Either you ge it right and you are fine or you got it wrong and are now screwd.

Over the last days some people here warned not to trade the JPY-pairs, and for me it was only a question of time that USDJPY went bidless. BOJ had pumped 700 B over the last three days into the system. What do you think how long they could afford to do it over and over again?

Am trading yen crosses only here, saw that 78 coming in sight and could not resist. Leaving EU alone entirely as this is just a cross to position the Yen pairs right now and has no rhyme or reason as to direction, just a gamble on this pair.

Dx needs to test 76.00,that daily bar
might help.
Close could have been lower to really help though.
Link is a week old.
Well we got there,bit of a strange way
to do it though,where to from here,not got a clue.

Martingale, just call it a bad day and move on. This isn't about good vs evil. This is the world market balancing itself out.

correct.
anyway our regular retail or std. accounts are not causing anything, we're just adding up some liquidity.

It's the sharks doing all the after hours under the table movements, and they'll cash in the big $$.

we're just picking up some crumbs...

what would you choose between remorse or 5-7 fig. profit ?

Everyone can follow Cloggie off this cliff if they want, but your not seeing a trade short "end of the world" situation. The facts are plain, tear two markets have remove liquidity from the market. Until the dust settles trading is stupid. The sun will rise in the morning and there will be trades to be had. For now the side lines is the place to be.
