What a hairy morning!! EURJPY and GBPJPY both rose about 100 pips in 45 minutes by from 10:30 to 11:15. These spikes made trading too hazardous. The fragile, volatile conditions prevail at the moment.
I did manage to scalp 12 pips of a buy signal in GBPUSD, so overall made 32 pips today (1.6% on capital). I didn't see the point in risking more at 11:15 after such spikes; Mrs R was calling. However both of those trades would have produced winners.
It seems the markets want to go higher but all based on short sharp impulse buying. That can result in short sharp impulse selling just as easily. I'm happy to retire with arrows in my hat for another day.
