f you trade CHF, SEK, NOK action may be required.

Effective 6:00 PM EST, January 22, 2015, the National Futures Association (NFA) has imposed a requirement that forex brokerages reduce the available leverage on certain currencies due to the extraordinary market conditions.

As directed by the NFA, OANDA will be changing margin requirements for 3 currencies. The affected currencies are the Swiss Franc, Swedish Krona and Norwegian Krone.

Currency
Previous Margin Requirement
New Margin Requirement
Swiss Franc (CHF)
2%
5%
Swedish Krona (SEK)
2%
3%
Norwegian Krone (NOK)
2%
3%
As a result of this change, accounts with positions in these currencies will show a reduction of margin available at 5:00 PM EST on January 22, 2015. If this margin available falls below the 50% closeout margin specified in your customer account, all open positions in your account will be immediately closed.

I also thought it better to avoid trading today...but then again, they can hit the market any time they wish really...

In any event, all my pending orders have been cancelled, but I will watch to see if there are any fireworks...

Yeah seem to be in a bit of a choppy/fundamentals driven market. Hopefully back to a more trending environment by first of next week.
