    Baruch,

    No, I haven't. I am going to wait for EUR USD to go short.

    I reckon when it hits 1.1929 it will short.

    What do you know about FXCM?

    are they any good?

    Thanks

  7. I'm not quite sure if you're long or short USD/JPY. Either way, I'm looking at shorting USD/JPY and I'm rather bullish on the Yen in general just looking at the charts - especially the daily charts. Looking at shorter time frames of USD/JPY (namely, the 1-4h charts) I can't really discern anything concrete, though it looks like a long play may prove profitable if you can time your exit properly. Hopefully, in the next few hours things will become clearer.

    Fundamentally... I have no idea how to play it. From what I was reading, the BoJ isn't expected to change their monetary policy, so I'm not sure how that will affect things. However, the Nikkei and Yen futures have been up. Speaking of the Yen futures, it appears they're getting ready to make an upwards move.

    *shrugs* This is what makes this fun... :D

  10. Just my opinion, but I'd be careful about holding this too long. I'm by no means an expert, and I may very well be wrong, but discretion is the better part of valor. I'm reading through bloomberg now (Baruch will be so proud! :D) and the news stories seem to point to continued strengthening of the yen.
