This transaction is selling the usd/jpy at 76.25 on October 27, 2011. The ten year low is 75.75 which traded 2 days later on October 30th. The pair is currently trading around 113. Needless to say that trade nearly sold the bottom.
Soros is known for currency manipulation. Perhaps this is a clue to what the he was planning?
Now that I look at this… something doesn't make sense with that trade.
Start exchange rate is 76.25 - which was the close of trading October 23. The order was to sell 59 lots. The end exchange rate is "2011.1" with an end date of October 27. Result is a losing trade of -129,801.
Perhaps someone can explain where the 2011.1 price comes from.
Speculation… could be a way to launder money if that trade was made with one individual… however the exchange wouldn't allow a price that far out of the market.
