I suppose a panic has gripped the euro market!! The LSE and european markets are opening under 5% as of now,fear fear fear.The asian stocks still have taken the toll.

My short TP with NZD/USD and GBP/USD have already been hit.I think the passyson TP for EUR/USD have already been hit.I think the yen need to be rebalanced cause its hurting their economy.The fear of global reccesion is still looming at large,asian markets are in panic( the emerging markets like india's mumbai has already shed 7%)

@toni Your stocks have already lost 35% of the value,thats much.Are they in NSE? Cause currently the market is still on a down lane and i think it will stabilise but not near already below 4000 pnts and still going under.Maybe you can liquidate the counters which you think they will take time to bounce back,but with the good counters i think you can take time and leave them as for sure in future it will be on track.

Liquidate the laggards as the opportunity cost of investing in forex will be big,in forex for that short period though volatile you can hit it and recover the 35% losses incurred.

Hi,

Thanks Ngaatu for the insight. Am in NSE. Thats good advice,I will partially liquidate the risky ones like KQ,and maybe Safaricom - tis a painfull loss for this one. Will hold onto the banking counters.

Managed a short at 1.5430 (current market 1.5370). Am targeting around 1.5340.

Looming reccesion fears in U.S. I think most TP have been hit .As of now lets really wait the market information,the German IFO data has been released tumbling down the euro further.

Morning all,

My first short GBPUSD short trade for the day stopped out at - 40 pips. Yen currently losing ground too rapidly,especially in the last few minutes. Rumours of BoJ intervention. Changed my trading strategy to long GBPUSD. Currently long at 1.5720. Set my take profit at 100 pips,though watching for any signs of plateuing on the gains.

Happy trades to all!

Japan minister saying he would anything to stop the rapid gains of the Yen seen earlier,as G7 ministers also expressing concerns on the Yen gains,saying they would cap the same. RBA intervening to prop up the AUD =&gt; I guess may translate to weaker JPY (this is a heavy carry trade pair) and weaker USD across the board.

Just my 2 cents worth.
