glad i didn't say i was short the aj and ej. damn it wasn't my wave.
Where am I? Who am I? Why am I posting on a forex forum? I just got up off the floor. I think I'm concussed. Dang, I actually missed the action ... lol. What's all the fuss about? A/J was only 625 pips today. The day of Dow mini crash it did 842. Praise the lawd for low leverage! Amen

Both sudden drop today and Sunday occured pre Tokyo session. I was wondering if this is some speculators try to take advantage of thin market to press it down, and expect the BOJ to have intervention, so they have it both way figured out.

If it is actual repatriation fund purchase yen to pay insurance claim, they would have done during london/NY, Tokyo session, where the liquidity are the most.

News report is that repatriation hasn't started yet, this is speculator front running. Big USDJPY drop is due to options stoplosses at about 79.75 that got hit. Created a huge long JPY demand.

How cr@p can these news services be. They are of absolute no value to traders.

I posted and traded this 3 hours ago.

78 was a big line in the sand, loads of stops and option barriers below.
Looking at and depending on some of these news services is absolutely useless to a trader unless you are a hindsight trader

Do you mean those who defend the 79.75 barrier lost their battle and gave up? cause there is no stop loss related to option afaik.

Same here on Reuters:

BOJ injects 5 trln yen to market as yen spikes, stocks fall

Also mentions a total of 28 trillion added so far this week.

This was really as big as nothing since may 2010 volatility >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 500 pips in just mins and once again i remembered that friday by ny session last year usd/jpy 700 pips volatile its no one's session (not asia ,ny )and japanese stole it and shaked it like anything

japenese are the biggest shakers in forex

Well the same thing happens in markets which have actual "price/volume".

Market makers and traders probe all the time throwing out bids and offer and pulling them or letting them be hit. Send in a few "soldiers" to see where the true bids and offers in size sit.
Very true, I dont trade FX that way just because it doesn't make sense for me but all respect to those who does and does so profitable...

As a trader you got to know your history, through and through. I know everything there is to know about each pair I trade.

I am not just the resident @Rsehole.

What is your basis for saying that you know everything there is to know about the pairs you trade? I'm not trying to be a smart aleck; just wondering if you have a news service you watch or some other means of observing relevant economic activity that either has an obvious influence or that experience tells you would influence a particular pair.
