HIGH RISK WARNING: Foreign exchange trading carries a high level of risk that may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage creates additional risk and loss exposure. Before you decide to trade foreign exchange, carefully consider your investment objectives, experience level, and risk tolerance. You could lose some or all of your initial investment; do not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Educate yourself on the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial or tax advisor if you have any questions.

Yep John, you got that one right. Well done, hope you made a motza.
I did Sean! I went short eur/jpy at 113.90 right after the market opened Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm(central time in the U.S.) My take profit was at 109 and it was hit as I slept. Nothing like making a 390 pip profit while catching a little shut eye!
