At 1310 hrs today that that's about 20 minutes after this post hits the thread, Governor Kuroda of the BOJ "speaks."
I swear I am psychic -- in the wrong direction.
I didn't see your post, nor did I see the news about Kuroda. I had been waiting for a pullback ever since I foolishly exited my USDJPY/GBPJPY longs this morning, about 15 hrs ago.
There was a good pullback this afternoon/evening, and then a bit of strength, so I jumped into NZDJPY and EURJPY. About 2 minutes before Kuroda took the stage.

Oy vey. My timing is just amazing.
Gary,
Fx News Alert should keep you up to date with upcoming news events.
92% are selling the nzd/usd. I'm buying. Got my pending buys ready. If price goes below the daily pivot some more I am placing a pending buy there also.
You can actually subscribe to some news sources ... but honestly, you do not need more than the warning FF gives in advance, of pending important news releases.
And as for the actual news itself - I don't bother even thinking about taking a trade on it ... unless it is a decision NOT to be in a trade
Thanks guys, was looking at the myfxbook calendar, and the damn thing didn't shows " Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda Speech" until I did a refresh.

Guys be careful! gravity always wins! everyone has gone long xxxjpy in anticipation of the big outflow from JGBs into risky assets...but the thing is JGB yields continue to rise (in anticipation pf the nuclear QE) so the incentive for japanese institutions (Lifers, etc..) to rotate into foreign assets drops meaningfully...so beware an air pocket and bigger correction lies ahead first...
