Some buying in Sterling. Maybe the only saving grace. Although all Yen pairs are down big.
Now XE caught up.

Long geppy. Pound looks like has some strength. Still a chance, but who knows. Saving grace that England doesn't share euro

Well, I don't know the how reliable the others are. FXStreet didn't even show much of a loss, now it's up 40. I mean I hope that's correct. However, I don't know why just the Yen pairs would be off. Unless banks selling Euro and buying Yen
I have no idea how accurate they are, I would of though all sites like xe, fxstreet, oanda and bloomberg would be close to each other in terms of price.

FXstreet has finally caught up, looks like bloomberg was right.

It could be worse, it's only 100 or so pips below the SL on a trade I left often

Yea. I have a small, small position. But still looking at a headache. I think it will survive. What I am thinking is they are selling Euros to buy Yen. However, Abe doesn't want that so he might take Yen down or have new asset purchases.

I might ride with it because with Japan's agenda it may work out. Dollar has been trading like a risk currency lately, correlated with US stock. But we may see it sink or become a "safe haven" it once was with euro in the shit.

I agree, yen is considered a safer currency than Euros and with the Eurozones latest hiccup it makes sense.

I have no idea what my current brokers policy is when situations like this happens. I don't know if they will close automatically at the market rate when they open or leave the position. Only 30 minutes until I find out.

I think it depends on your risk exposure. My broker will give until 3AM to they liquidate, or if it's above a certain risk they liquidate immediately.

Yep, pretty happy with last night's PA. There's nothing like hitting TP and getting paid to sleep

As stated earlier, I took a third of my total position off at 145.50 and I'm already adding it back on. I took some at 145.50, 145.40, and 145.27... I'll add more if we dip further, but I've already decided I'm holding through the weekend.

I don't have a TP set yet for the fresh longs, and I'm also considering moving half of the lower group to a higher TP... not sure yet.

This week has been a perfect example of patiently waiting, sticking...

I would not be too happy with all these longs..

One can never predict this type of move, we trade what we see and make decisions based off of all of the information available. Sometimes we're wrong and sometimes we're right, simple as that.

As long as the daily doesn't close under 142.2 it should be ok. I'm still bullish.

Totally agree. It may be another buying opportunity.

That's my plan anyway.
