A lot of people thought that it was sabre-rattling, as they've been trying to pressure the U.S. into bilateral talks. I wasn't surprised, in fact I've been waiting for this all weekend so I could fire off some trades, and I caught it damn early, ...

The bottom is falling out of the South Korean stock market right now. EUR/JPY is through the roof. The impact on the yen will be huge. Some in Japan are now questioning their pacifistic foreign policy, and they have enough plutonium from their very ...

Mr. Trend, The reason it will not have as large a positive effect on USD/JPY is that if this has to be dealt with militarily, who will do it? France? Also, we still provide for the bulk of Japan's national defense, as the JSDF is a really half-ass ...

I'm developing a new indicator. You graph a Northeast Asia richter scale under a 5-minute EUR/JPY chart. Whenever the richter scale crosses 4, you go long!

No, but I'm developing a new indicator, the nuke richter. You graph a richter scale under a 1-hour Euro-Yen chart, and whenever the richter scale crosses 4 you go long!

Nuclear Test

I've been long on EUR/JPY since 9:45 CST... EUR/JPY is working out best, this thing is moving USD/JPY but not as much. There is drag on USD because the US is directly involved in this dispute, Eurozone is not. Geopolitical news is the best to trade, ...

Nuclear Test

CNN: Australian PM says there has been seismic confirmation of this test...

Remember, this is really not good for USD either because we're part of this confrontation, Eurozone really is not...

USD has some drag compared to EUR/JPY on this, it seems like a better trade, I've decided to ride out both. Remember, North Korea doesn't have a reliable delivery system, so right now all they can do is throw it at Japan. Waiting on official ...

There is a lot of confirmation coming in now, man, and when all those Brit bankers wake up and hear this while eating their crumpets riding the metro, they'll be planning on sending this thing even more haywire. I'm just waiting around with a small ...

I'll be holding a smaller longer-term long position on USD/JPY also, this is just starting. UN Security Council is holding an emergency session right now. Why can't we trade South Korean Won?

All I know is it caused a hell of a price spike! It caused all kinds of apesh*t seismic activity on the currency charts! Also, there is speculation that they attempted to mask the seismic effects, maybe, maybe not. I can't wait for the London open, ...

Long on EUR/JPY means I expect yen to weaken, I'm actually shorting yen when I buy that pair... BTW, the spike appears to be over now, but 30 pips in 30 minutes ain't bad. This will affect yen in the long term, if yen goes over about 119.40 USD look ...

My whole take on this thing is that next week, it will either go up, go down, or stay about the same...

Shorting the cable (Is London Bridge Falling Down?)

As I am a second-time around newbie, a twobie, if you will, I realize now that my money management the last time I tried this several years ago was atrocious. I now judge my success by percentage gains on my existing balance instead of dollar ...

Mouteki is just supply and demand! We've been doing this forever! It's the same thing with parameters! It's Econ 101 with simple rules! Why complicate it?
