Quote from Chood:

I'm short the front month YEN future. Sold a couple this session either side of 8400. Looking to sell up two more overnight or day tomorrow. Working on a price for those entries.
. . .
I'm also short two NIKKEI futures (CME contract) from last Friday.
. . .

I like my YEN short position and will buy ‘em back at 8240, a drop from present that could be hit in a blink. 8240 is shorter than my initial 1 for 2 risk/reward, which would need 8200, but it’d make an excellent break from my string of YEN short losers. (I’ll compress my stop as well, to 8418.)

Even my NIKKEI shorts may behave. I need 17,350 before 18,350.

Bringing the stop in to 8318.

Trailing stop hit, postion closed for 82 ticks (x2).

Now, if the YEN climbs from here, the NIKKEI oughta hiccup at least.

YEN strength this week would give cause for profit taking in the equities, esp. in Jap. exporters. Today's CME NIKKEI may tell.

Whoa, Chinese sheeple bail me out in the nick of time. One session shy of having my NIKKEI shorts stopped out, meltdown overnight in Shanghai rides to my rescue.

From 5k loss to flat to possible equity even this CME session -- all b/c of a sheep-shearing helium release in the nick of time.
 
Quote from Mvic:

Time to short the Yen, HARD.

I am not used to forex, usually use futures when I dabble in currencies. If I want to play a Yen move to .0085-86 level in the next couple of months is there anything better in forex land than buying calls on the futures in terms of leverage with defined risk?

This trade has made my year.
