I had closed my original ones last week, because 1- I thought we had crept too far from 1.20 to see a spike and 2- As a basket of trades, they were quite profitable as the lower two orders were pretty substantial in size. Cherry on the cake last week. Then...

Set my orders again to get filled on another approach of 1.20. Bastards only filled one! It did what I was originally expecting today...just wish we were closer to 1.20 and my boat was full. All in all...no complaints. Will try again.

good luck with your orders at 1.2 mate..

but.. IMHO, if we 'even" come close to that level, - well, we may see some deep PB before "anything happens"

Indeed mate...agree.

Reinvested profits from the 700+pips I made in the freaky spike up on EC prior to that. SNB has fattened my poor wallet quite a bit recently. Wouldn't it be wrong not to offer some back? 3/3 so far...need to reassess after today's unexpected silliness. Don't expect to see 1.20 in the next 24 hours, though.

If I don't make another play on it...so be it...my pips have been made.

I don't want to beat a dead horse (but, Maj, if you want to add a certain image to a quote of this, it would not be inappropriate). However, at 23:13 GMT, forexlive posted this:

"According to the interbank broking platform EBS, USD/CHF fell from .8870 to .8700 at exactly 5pm NY time and then rebounded immediately to .8880.

I’m still trying to find out what caused this anomaly but it looks for the moment as if it was legitimate trading."

The first sentence is really "news" at least to me. It identifies a primary platform sourcing the spike.

The second sentence is evidently wrong. The time stamp is 16 minutes after Oanda put out their email posted in the link I gave above.

Moral: market blogs "news" is usually spot on. Their analysis and opinion is no better than our own.

well that was fast
My first TP level is +50...missed by a couple. Bastards!

+50, 100 &150...rest will float. Just playing, too...so subject to change, but that's what is set for now.

Won't happen. If it did, the only things Japanese you could buy cheaply would be containers full of unused "Made In Japan" labels.

What they can do about it, I don't know. That they will do about it, I'm sure.

I love listening to the product disclaimers on drug commercials, the "Known side effects of Addictotrix include sneezing, psychosis, and Adult Crib Death syndrome" kind.

Cialis' warning about holding it for more than 4 hours is just funny to me. I've always found holding one up for more than 4 minutes is not only dangerous, but superfluous.

Muffins costing $16 (£10) and cookies at $10 were among the "extravagant and wasteful" conference spending by the US justice department, a report has found.

the real question is:

- how many "corrupted officers" built the price with fees structure
- how one can trust that department. - nor a justice..

amazing...
