First of all nothign will go straight up or down but you always play with sentiment that is your edge... you never trade just because you think its DUE for a retrace... you will fail miserably. You need an edge and although an edge may be an OS or OB condition chances are you will get burned see 2008 crash.

The japanese economy is halted pretty much after the earthquake there is simply not much more it can get worsed.. since market is fwd looking question you have to ask yourself is... how much worsed can it get?

They just introduced new stimulis...
agreed!.

Something else to consider that is driving the usjyen higher; traders "unwinding" positions for year end. Shorting the UJ was a majr position on banks and institutional books and profit taking or going flat will cause an increase in the usdjpy. Combine what is comming out of Abe's mouth and the Dec 16th election and there really isnt a single reason to be short the UJ on a medium to long term horizon.

$82.50 Ching Ching lunch money ! Maaan I am so lucky
Why lucky? You wrote that you closed all your possitions on 81.20, and would go long(a perfect place) at 80.70, which wasn't hit. So i would call it unlucky, over 100 pips closure too fast :> I am unfortunatly enjoying vacations in Barcelona(great city) and don't have enough time to trade, but after coming back, some nice setup is forming for reentering long

Edit. Ashhhh that sarcastic emot, don't know them really

Remember what happened to the EUR/USD in 2006 during Thanksgiving. Something strange may happen this week as well. I'm adding to longs on a buy stop about 20 pips north of where we are now with a tight stop, just in case.

Read a little bit more carefully , I said that I closed the positions and was waiting for the 80.70 but of course that I went with the tide since 81.25 after I saw it was stabilizing , I'm a wired mix of a safebunny + madtrader, in my opinion is better to pinch 3 times per day 30 pips than to wait a move of 100, but maybe I'm wrong and don't master yet that feeling completely, although I learned that after you have some profit is better to close and to wait for the next move instead of being greedy and wait for the big one.

P.S: Here is something cool for you http://www.timeout.com/barcelona/fea...o-in-barcelona D:

Thats right Jag, no loss on the trade and the entry was good. There were 25 pips to be had on the trade but thats not the top I want.

- Any ideas about why Yen is gaining are welcomed.

- Have a great weekend all.
