dove & jasonowl:

thanks for your advices & opinions.
didnt expect the yen to close below support on Fri, because last week we saw a pretty steady jpy (restricted range).

well hopefully i could recover some pips today. might try to hold on to the position.

Hmm.. My 2 cents if its okay.
Try to keep your mind out of the current bad position. (yes its tough)
If you were looking at UJ at this point onwards, and if you are planning to enter the market? Is it a buy? If so then maybe you should still hold on to your position. And take steps to recover some pips.

About the Swap Interest earned, its a slow painful watch, and you could walk away without a loss in time to come, but it's pretty vile once the interest rates start changing (or working against you)

Hope it helps even a bit.. Cheers.
That's good - The interest on the Yen for a buy is always positive - it is negative in the sell.

That is why you find a lot of intraday traders in the buy for long term with the yen.

Right now on tier two which is 100:1 leverage the interest is +2.87%

That is in the buy mode.

i made a huge mistake of going long @ 118.57 on Friday...
what should i do now? cut loss? or wait for it to bounce back?

will we see a correction back up to 118 area before it goes further down?

any advice from you expert traders?
The price retraced from the 117.30 level (76.4 Fibo ret. of major uptrend).

If I were in your shoes I would do one of the following based on how things develop:

1. Worst case scenario: if price clearly breaks through todays' low (i.e. 76.4) I would close the trade (next support levels are 116.90 1st and 20th March daily support and 116.39 18th and 28th March support)

2. If price moves back to the 118.50 level (61.8 Fibo ret. of major uptrend and strong monthly resistance during March) then retraces back, then close at this level without any loss or profit

3. If price moves back and breaks through the 118.50 next to 119.11 (23.6 Fibo ret. of recent downtrend move) then close at this level with 50+ profit.

just one comment, your SL range is high if you are still the trade (long @ 118.57 and survived the 117.17 drop, i.e. over 130 pips), what are you expecting in return (Reward: Risk ratio)?

1st, How much are you leveraged?
2nd, ask your self why you bought in a down trend.
3rd, why did you take a losing position into the weekend?
4th, Are you taking a long term position?
5th, where did you place your stop, if any?

Just Q?'s to ask yourself, than you can make a decision?

As for me, I am long at 117.56 on the hourly tweeser....Looking for 117.80 - 117.90 area.

Yea, that is the only currency I trade... One thing I had to learn in the long run is stay with one pair and know it like the back of your hand.

Pivots are also consider resistance and supports for the movement of candles.
