  3. Presume you mean you paid 4800, to win 10,000?

    Interesting developments today:

    No interim rate cut.
    Market is factoring in a 50bps cut,but mkts tank.
    FED say "no inflation"

    Cant really see a catalyst for equity markets, or the carry trades as a proxy to rise. Their will be a repatriation of assets due to risk, and GJ will go one way.

  4. Took half at 210.05 +200pips. Holding my other half. Stop on entry.

    Obviously a lot of stops on the 210 level, which gave a bounce off.

  7. ES was up 15+ overnight and I took a GBPJPY touch to 212.50 for a 50% gainer. GBPJPY should be trading ~200 based upon equity fallout. It's telling that it's holding up as well as it is.

  8. Thanks Mack.

    210 will go. Its just the £ is strengthening vs other crosses at the moment.

    If I was an Asian fx trader. I would sh*t myself at what happened in the previous session, and get out before I got crushed by Godzilla.

  9. Dreadful UK retail figs of -0.5 m/m. Will keep the trend short and pressure on the £. Needs to get under 209.4 for continued follow-through.

  10. Added to short at 210.5 st 212 tp 209.5

    Futures have rallied since yesterday, fueling speculation that the carry-trade will come back into fashion.

    Obviously, i think the markets might have a snap rally, but i expect it to be short-lived. The nature of a bear-market is short the opens, buy the close, lets see if this happens today.
