These news spikes are difficult. My entrances on nzd and aud are light so not a problem I am willing to ride the JPY trades out. So will set tight for now.
Ya I am trying to hang on too, unfortunately I am in 2 or 3 levels on some of these pairs. We kind of through the 10.4 rules out the window with the macro economic news and now I am paying for it. It might just be another hard lesson for me. I think I may have over extended my account I am currently down 21%, about everything I have made this year. Sorry to complain a little here. I am not blaming 10.4, I think it is a great system, it just I broke the rules with the JPY stuff. :(
This is not a system problem this is just market gone wild. Great when you are on the right side and the pits when you are on the wrong side. I will survive this but this is a much bigger retrace than I expected. I banks and dealers had to reload after selling so much JPY the last two weeks but WOW. OK. I closed out some trades and got some spacing between levels. Some of the big buys had to have taken profit for this to happen. I expected them to be adding to their levels not closing out. Anyway I think the worst is over, now to recover. nzd/jpy has me worried though.

Well, that was ugly. Survived and ready to trade again. Looking for buyers to hit the market depending on what the BigK has to say in an hour and half. Big improvement in JPY economic numbers sent it soaring. BOJ does not want to lose what they have gained so far. So be interesting what he says. I have my pending buys ready to go if it goes back into its trend. If it doesnt then wont be in. back to class.

Time to stand aside & control emotions. Won’t add any new trades until the picture becomes clear on JPY pairs.

a test of $USDJPY 97.34 area as indicated by the midpivot would be the most excellent buy point.

To those that survived this mornings blood bath, you have buys and sells all over the place. Pick and choose and remember it is Monday, we know we dont have big moves on Monday. Right??
