Well didn't short. Large spike there. Same with eur/chf - don't know how I ended up losing money on that when I had sl at +10pips.

It doesn't matter how small your SL, if there is an intervention (or big spike) and price spikes through your stop, you will be closed out at the price after the move.

Similar situation here, stop was at -5 but I still lost a lot more than that.

If there was no one to take the order at the +10 price then it gaps up to the first available fill. That's what happened. Now is there really that much of a gap or does the broker take advantage and extend gap? Who knows.

When liquidity dries up, you can lose out well beyond your stops.

BOJ is going to have to try harder than that.

60 pip spike... Apparently BOJ using interbanks to buy dollars.

It's over for now, I think. Got a small 30 pips.

I think they are defending yesterdays low, which makes sense. It will be harder to defend if it breaks.

Mr Breakout.....respect...I'm following your last trades on this thread...impressive...

Your attitude to fx and humor the same ....

thanks for sharing...

good luck to you and all others.....
Thanks Ku8ek.

Well I guess a little sense of humor here and there does relieve the stress (and the feeling of loneliness) associated with our trading activity.

Good luck to you too and have a great trading day in Sweden

Yeah defending yesterdays low, but they needed to break 77.22 to the upside for momentum and extra stops.

No more CHF either... SNB just turned it volatile with rumors of 1% deposit charge. It would seem rumor monger does better than any Yen intervention. Perhaps BOJ ought to start a rumor then once people start shorting again suprise them with an intervention. Shock & awe affect would keep us shorters on our toes.
