It's too late now for this transaction obviously, but you do have the option of selling in yen or in dollars when you enter the order.

I'm a little busy this afternoon but send me a note and I'll get back to you later this weekend.

So it turns out my account was suspended because I didn't mail in a copy of my gaijin card and fill out the form regarding my investing history and financial status that was mailed to me in January.

That had crossed my mind. But I've set orders before (including this year) when the NYSE had a holiday. I've also set orders for a few weeks in advance. But, perhaps they've changed their system? I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Nikkei dropped another 4%.
