Advice from one of the yahoo group that I’m in, take note. This is to inform you that Japan will be having trading holidays from May 3 to May 5. Please avoid trading any USD/JPY and any other Yen Crossed Pairs, such as EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY during this period.

Golden Week has already begun, actually. Apparently nothing is being commemorated on Tuesday (the current Asian session) or Wednesday, but with the way the holidays are falling this year around the weekends, Tokyo is likely to remain pretty dry the whole week. I've got swing positions going on E/J and G/J and would rather watch paint dry. There's always the occasional 20 pip twitch, but the excitement they generate subsides after about five minutes and then it's back to cryostasis (a little sci-fi reference there, for those who appreciate that kind of thing). It's always an odd thing to see such lively pairs become illiquid.
