Yes, GBP/USD and USD/JPY are a paired synthetic hedge. I have done this for years for the benefit of followers whose accounts don't allow hedging.
Yes NFP was a volatility event but I didn't view it as risky as it appeared. This week was another situation where it took a back seat to what happened in China and with overall risk sentiment. Fed fund futures for March had dropped double digits over the first 4 days of this week (which is very significant). Even if NFP was a big miss or beat this time it had already become background to the main theme of the week. At other times though it can be the main thing to watch. The fact that the number did beat today was a nice chance to fade the initial reaction.
Have a great weekend all
SC

If so, why not just open opposing positions in the same pair?
Happy for anybody answer this as I can imagine SC is pretty busy managing his trades.
Thanks.

Damn. Did not realise NFP tonight. This could be either a disaster or awesome for us followers. Goodluck. Either way it is risky.

I running this signal at 0.5 because I observe SC may open bigger lots. Isn't 1.5 risk too extreme?

The moves this week have been pretty significant and are likely to stir up volatility for a while. Some of the moves, for example in the Asian session are the largest in quite a few months so please keep that in mind when figuring out your trading ratios.
I've chosen to tighten the leash (with some partial hedges) on the open GBP/JPY trade and do not expect to wind it down completely this week. I'm looking for more big volatility and will be taking stock of the impact of this week's action and choosing my spots as the month continues.
