jesus christ there is armageddon in these equity markets, maybe they were right, this will be an 'apocalyptic' event

fx moves going haywire. jumping up and down 10-20 pips a move

I'm placing a very small BUY LIMIT order for USDJPY. At the levels we are at there's a good chance Japan's central bank intervenes to bring the fx pair higher. We could see a massive 200 pip pop back up.

BUY LIMIT USDJPY 77.35 (1/4 of my normal position)
stop 76.35 (tonight's low)
target 79.85

I'm also going to set a trailing stop @ 50 pips

There's a chance I won't get a fill since my order is about 60 pips from the current price but I'm expecting volatility to pick up when Japan's banks open for business.

Market is moving further away from my order and back towards 80 so the chance that I get a fill are dwindling.

I see my broker doesn't want any anyone trying to profit... spreads just widened on most pairs by 3-5 pips more on the mt4 platform.

The currnex platform (ecn) I'm getting about 2.0 - 2.5 pips spreads on the majors. About normal for this time of night.
