{quote} I tried divergences years ago but they're not reliable enough for me so I have long given up on them and any other indicators. That's why, aside from the occasional channel or trend line, my charts are completely naked as you can see. My only indicator is Luke, my golden puffer fish and spirit animal. As for USD/JPy to 109ish yes, it's possible. I think that the stock markets are about to begin round #2 of the virus panic, so with that I expect USD.JPY to drop quite a bit overall. I'm not longer term bull on this pair yet
Naked charts are like looking at the Matrix. One day they just click... I am still working on that. Almost there though. How long have you traded, and any tips on the naked charting? Other than of course taking the red pill.

I like this part. That's exactly what brought most of us here, including JayB. At any rate, cut yourselves some slack. Stay well, trade well. KP {quote}
Thanks Keen. I mean it to. PLEASE point out when I am wrong. I am like Johnny 5. I NEED INPUT!

I've been trading (although I prefer to say "speculating", because that's what it really is) on the markets since 2002. Full time since 2015. I actually had an account on FFactory back in 2004, although I can't possibly remember the name, been years and years since I was back here. I must be one of FF's oldest readers, lol.

For me, it took almost 15 years to go from bollinger bands, MA crosses, EAs, divergences, envelopes, candle stick patters etc etc, to just naked charts. I can't tell you what suddenly makes you look at a chart and sometimes just have this conviction of what is happening. Sometimes you look at a historical pattern and then at the current market and you notice that they broadly follow the same pattern. But it's not the "head and shoulders" or "harmonics" types. Those are unreliable too. No, it's just a pattern that will will repeat itself only once , but that's enough to take a calculated gamble on it. And it will never be the pattern that online blogs and newsletters will tell you it is.
I don't know why or how it happens. My best guess is it's just thousands of hours of screen time and of studying charts. You've got to be really interested in the markets to sustain this effort for years. And one day, you begin to notice things. But I don't have a recipe for it I'm afraid.
I can tell you that speculating took a lot of £ (and more) from me, for a long time, before it started giving. And I personally would not have survived it had it not been for the fact that I had a series of well-paid jobs through those loss-making years.

Good stuff. Thanks. 2002 huh? Wow. I started in 2015. Took some $ from me as well, but thankfully started getting it back this year. Helps to write my ideas out loud, and have had my greatest improvements after starting to do so. Thank Gawd for well paying jobs!! lol

Hello! Well, after the sequence of bullish signals on the 4-Hour charts of which I posted here last Friday, when trading started in Asia last night, I bought USDJPY at the open. Waited for the first hour of trading to close, set my stop loss just below that hourly candle as it was bullish, and I went to bed because it was getting quite late in London. Now price has broken out North. I expect it to get to around 108- 108.50s to take out that cluster of earlier highs, then I think it might resume its downtrend. Posted on my journal too. {image}
Looking like Neo is spot on.
If the cluster is taken out bulls may feel invigorated and pounce, just as it decides to turn. Trapping them in the trade as it continues down.

Morning All,

With such a pale bullish move, I decided not to add to my longs.. I will let it run in peace!
More bull power this week...

111.XX is not far off..
