if it is trading in a channel.. it should go all the way up to 116.46 before retracement.

True, if it could only get past the Daily 116.19 seems to hit the wall there..

Forgive me for disrupting the current flow of the thread, but I wanted to know if the data for Sunday's candle (what is the timeframe for that by the way) is used to calculate the pivots for Monday's trading day? I ask because since Sunday is not a full trading day is would it be superceded by the Friday candle.

We're with ya.

Today has been a bit of a bitch day.

There were plenty of good trades out there but they seem to follow the lower percentages. And the news was all spikey with no follow through.

Been done for a few pips myself today, down about 48. Don't worry though because Dove will come on the thread later telling us he made 178 pips today and how we should have done it.

Lots and lots of channels and ranges that could have been played except I guess we were all looking for the breakout.

Can't see much happening now so I'm gonna call it a day guys.

Catch you next week. Don't forget no trading in London on Monday.

Am I understanding Dove correctly by saying that we are to use the close of Sunday's candle at 5pm est on Sunday in calculating the daily pivots for Monday? Also, if on Sunday before the 5pm close, price moves higher or lower than the high/low on Friday then we are to use that new high/low in calculating the pivots for Monday?

Agreed. The USD weakness across the board I feel is responsible for most of this chop in U/J. The other yen crosses have trended smoothly since the european opening lows, unfortunately I wasn't focused on them enough. E/J picked up two full yards in <12 hours, 3 yards on G/J ::

Yen crosses were where to be today.

Only need to look at the hourly chart for USD/JPY to see what a bitch day it was.

Here's to next week.

What I have set up on my 1 hour chart are two trend lines. Both trend lines are up and why I have two is because they cross one another during the trend. What this represents is the volatility of the trend.... One trend is blue and the other is green.... When the blue crosses and is above the green then there is no power but only retraces..... When the blue crosses and gets below the green then the power is there and the volatility is strong..... When the market opened today the blue had crossed above the green which represents no power but only retraces; it is now touching one another getting ready to place the power back into the market.

Did you mean to say moving averages as opposed to trend lines because trend lines don't move. If you were talking about MAs which ones are they?

Been longing A/J that's about it. US Dollar is garbage across the board, GBP above 2.000 again, EUR, back above 1.36 U/J is a dead duck

Are you sticking with a position trade on A/J or do you trade it day to day? It's been straight up most of this week, but some 150-300 pip pullbacks here and there, do you hold through them?

I find it pretty hard to day trade with the Yen crosses, because they're the pairs that least obey technical levels. I would just try to buy as cheap as I can and hold them medium-long term and enjoy the daily interest (especially triple interest wednesdays!)

You never know when crap's gonna happen again...

Friday was a good day, does anyone els think we could go to 119.00? the carry trade rules all these days, no charts can predict that. What say you all?
