It truly was a disappointment, glad I TP early, unhappy I then spent hours and hours waiting for more. I had a few more longs I finally closed in disgust. I'm definitely overtrading in this range bound market atm, going to try and pick some clearer ...

I do look at the calendar, but I didn't think the AUD employment news would impact the UJ so strongly. Live and learn. Good point thanks. At the time I thought it was rejection of TL

USD/JPY Discussion

What an epic rejection of 110.480. I guess it's bullish after all lol. Will see how it settles and come back in a few hours. If it drifts down and rejects 110.655ish I'll go long again maybe in the arvo session.

For me I consider the risk of a trade equal regardless of greater trend. I think that hns would have been a cracker trade, but I'd be closing it now. I buy and sell most days regardless of trend. Essentially my SL would be tight regardless of ...

Looks like hns on 5 min chart atm, but we're in the nasty 12-3 AEST time. I'm stuck working on a rotten deck today, but maybe rejection of new highs in a couple hours could be great for shorts. Is anyone else very irritated with all the ads that ...

What was your trade? I gather you bought, then sold ? Or still holding ? I would say I love all your squiggly lines but they're a bit hectic even for me. Lots of stuff there, very pretty.

well it finally dragged itself up. Had 2 trades, closed one at 110.890 to ensure profit for day, other BE NB TP 2nd trade 111.000. I'm done for the day. Good luck

Lower high on 5min chart, At top of H4 channel. Having a little tester NB TP 110.815.

I don't know what you're apologising for, I'm not offended if you're talking to me. I Took profit at 110.184, great trade I'm happy with it. People say whatever they like on these forums, take it or leave it, agree or disagree, no use getting upset. ...

If I knew how to add Turkey to my chart I'd trade fundamental more. Theoretically technical analysis gives a translation on a chart of what fundamental is directing in the greater world. Technical analysis gives me an idea of when to enter and exit. ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Still, theres a big gap down. I wont trade for at least another 2 hours when the spread and early volatility has settled, but it's still tempting to think theres possibly a bull run to close that gap first thing. The currency matrix hasnt been ...

I love your nice tight SL. Minimise risk, minimise risk, minimise risk, secret to success.

I keep 3 UJ charts available to assess. 1 is very busy full of SR TL on 5min chart, another has larger timeframe lines, then last is essentially naked that I use to look at the daily candles. I decided to simplify my outlook using TL based on H4, ...

USD/JPY Discussion

I have to say how happy I am accepting that I have NO idea what the market is going to do and that money management and scalping is what works for me. Snatch and grab and leave is my motto. I had a nice little scalp from 110.850 down to 110.7 , TP ...

I may use SMA for TP, for warning signs not to trade in range bound market ie if its flatline / range bound that's when I'm most at risk of losing money by trying to trade break out which will most likely be rejected. Flat SMA is a killer for my ...

bear alert. closed longs. hmmm

I love squiggly lines , see above lol

a doji right on the 50SMA. Hmm. Makes me very cautious

USD/JPY Discussion

Took Profit 1 at 112.520, Took Profit 2 at 112.672, leaving last 2 trades tight SL hoping bullish bias. The blue line at 50SMA 1 hr, hoping it can find some support above there

USD/JPY Discussion

well the bulls are first out of the gate this am, but as we all know, that means nothing. I did not expect 6 bear hours, then 6 bull hours. Fortunately I came out on top as a TP on 1 trade was greater than the SL on the other. That's forex. I'm ...
