Any explanations for the EXTREME sudden volume on the final tick of the USD/JPY before the weekend, yet very little price change or volatility? Turn on your volume graph and take a look.

Article is located here. Keep in mind that even during the 1995 earthquake, the yen strengthened enormously over a few weeks and months.

What is a "US Treasuries yield", and why are some people expecting US treasuries yields to increase in the face of intervention? I googled for it and found daily spreadsheets listing the Treasuries yields, but I don't really understand what I'm ...

What does "injecting money into markets" really mean? I don't understand the mechanism by which 3 trillion yen becomes "injected" into the market.

I had entered long about an hour before the Tokyo market opened, anticipating that if BoJ was going to do something, it would happen early in the morning there. I rode from 79.8 all the way to 81, where my limit was hit. I even had time to buy more ...

I just checked out her twitter. It's great! She's clearly a subject-matter expert, and she has a ton of useful posts there! Here's one I found extremely enlightening, a six-person CNBC news discussion about the upcoming intervention with Kathy Lien ...

I know the central banks aren't dumb. So why do they feel the need to dump enormous amounts of currency on the market in huge lumps? Why not spread it out over an indefinite period of time?

This is equal or worse than the Kobe earthquake, I think... the electricity deficit alone is gargantuan. Go look at 1995 charts and decide if you should change directions. I did yesterday and lost 33% of my entire account. After I switched ...

I don't use anything below 15m on JPY, since it fluctuates a lot. Probably this is due to lower volume. I just went and looked up what pivot points were. No, I don't use them. I read about them and will look into implementing them and see how ...

I just went long a few minutes ago! Looks like a trend has formed just a little above where it is now. This is for short-term scalping.
