Changing my Positioning

After making some small gains on Euro weakness, selling Eur/Sek, I closed that position yesterday
because it was not moving fast enough for my liking

Then I read about a large storm nearing the coast of Japan:
http://www.businessinsider.com/typhoon-described-as-a-once-in-decades-storm-is-barelling-towards-japan-2014-7

It seemed to be huge, and a lot of damage could be done,
and I remembered what happened with the Yen when the Fukushima nuclear disaster happened:
the Yen gained a lot of strength against other currencies
as it was pulled back from international trading, and used internally to rebuild Japan

So, on a hunch, I decided to start going short everything/Yen,
I have started with a short Gbp/Jpy - which is doing well at the moment,
and I have a short Eur/Jpy lined up as Usd/Jpy is bearish:

this helps a lot too:
Usd/Jpy has been trying to break 102 level a long time now without success,
and technically is in for a deeper retracement down to a least 99 area over time;
other yen crosses will follow it down

I haven't heard about the storm today, yet,
but right after I decided to go short against the Yen, some strong Japanese data came out last night,
that started to strengthen the currency - so I guess that I have been lucky
(maybe the right decision for the wrong reason)
