Thanks isa.

Had a feeling I should have exited at 7400 area.

Just glad to get out without a loss, this trade didn't feel right. Nas & S&P down a bit so may have a down week!

We'll see if I was way too cautious ... or not!!
 
I hope your right as I'm heavily short this week with the VIX, Palladium and I'm giving Mikes GBPJPY short a whirl, although I didn't get the entry point I planned for on that as I manually entered instead of being patient and letting it reach my limit. So we'll see if I'm right to be or not although today's price action was certainly a step in that direction.
 
I'll take the small loss. I still believe we will probably close the week higher on the indices and lower on the dollar.
 
It's certainly a possibility looking at the charts. The S&P 500 is still above the 50 EMA and the rising trend line so I maybe premature going short as it could easily bounce here as well.
 
Morning Mike, the Yen has weakened across the board over night and the stop loss on your GBPJPY short at 132.8 has been hit. Here's the closing trade:

GBPJPY (FX:GBPJPY)

Unlucky Mike, it is a big move in this today. Possible short covering maybe?

Nice bounce in risk assets today. Expecting a descent correction in Dollar before going long.

I'm still on the other side personally. Lots of buy orders around the 50 day MA so I expected a bounce today. But still think this market is going lower very soon as we are going to close below the 2 year trend line today. I think a test of 1300 looks likely.

I'm not loving the volatility. Am getting whipsawed a bit this week. I was too eager to get into my position this week. I need to exercise more patience.
