I just shorted too. Makes me uncomfortable everyone using same level to short?

Absolutely. Prepare for a brutal spike in the next few hours. Having had so many great entries stopped out with my tight SL I'm pondering my next move.

Sounds like stops are too tight. I no longer use tight stops for all trades.

I use 2x ATR for hard stop but rarely hit except when scalping. Most trades I close out before SL when swing trading as I see I made bad trade long before SL.

I'm following the strategy of andoseg2, and now, the price is above the MA'S H4 and H1.

I am still waiting for 113 and above. I will not be surprise to see UJ 114 again also

USD/JPY enfoled strong recovery gains around mid-112.00s, but only a convincing break above 112.73 would bring continuation of the rally towards 113.20.

Reviewing the week and firstly having a brief lament that I opened a long with a tiny 5min 3candle reversal in low volume on wed (?) That was the start of this up move. The "no" is written on the pic because I closed the trade due to low volume ( for 2 min there was NO movement ) and I wimped out, there wasn't even a down movement. Anyway thought I'd share that reminder that big moves can start with tiny candles on low volume. You can see the small doji at bottom, yellow is covering where I closed my trades. Also ignore session time at the bottom, that doji was about 9am sydney time, I took that screen shot at the end of the day scrolling back thinking about my errors

AND another thought re Monday approaching. If UJ failed to get above 112.6 with many attempts on friday, surely it's not going to achieve it with no news first 8 hours of Monday trade. In that case , will Monday start with a 3candle 1hr reversal or even tiny 5min 3 candle reversal just below 112.6 with chance to open short at least to BE ?? Or at least gently trend down which could become something bigger??
Friday had a lower daily high, and the weekly evening star is still in play

The pair is consolidating, I'm expecting a further continuation on the upside if Usd/Jpy break above the immediate resistance at 112.73.
