Weekly analysis was that this week it should fall, and it did in the last day of the week. There will be more downward movement next week, we will see 220 again and maybe lower, so put your trading hat on and be ready for the fall next week , I'll post my analysis here in the weekend.
Trade what you see, not what you think.

Yup, I was looking at the yen pairs 24 hours ago and was gonna take the plunge on shorting but already had 4 trades open.

No worries, gained some pips elsewhere and there's always another opportunity around the corner.

You really seem to be getting to grips with this pair

Hello Steve & SeekingLight
Hiya

Since you mentioned GJ's outlook, I tried over here just before it fell:
http://forexfactory.com/showpost.php...88&postcount=4
http://forexfactory.com/showpost.php...09&postcount=5



Would also fit in with your sub 220 idea =)

////

And thanks for clearing that up Steve, I actually had a suspicion / a faint memory in that regard..not confronted with that much english slang in my everyday, more the american one

Would explain Fanny Hill, ahem. A mountain I'd like to climb more often, wink wink nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean

...that english language is truly the bee's knees!

...until you actually hear someone talk it right to you in the street and you had up to that very second thought you could actually speak and UNDERSTAND English. Boy, was I ever wrong...


I'ma stop emberassing myself now and hide from the severe slapping I'm sure to receive the second a double X'er lays eyes on these last few posts ;p

's all in good fun!

Toodles, Tea and Biscuits!

Just been reading your post over there on GJ - another one I trade when the mood takes and generally have done pretty well with the monster pair.

No probs bro lol - a little humour never did anyone any harm so keep them coming lol. Your grasp of English is far better than most who actually live here so don't worry about that.

'Toodles tea & biscuits' hahaha

Ofcourse there is always another opportunity, patience and discipline are the keys like you always say.

I've been analyzing and trading this pair exclusively for the past couple of weeks, and it's been pretty good to me until now but we all know this is the beast and should always be careful with it.

Here's my predictions for next week

Thanks Karmo

Just made a few scalps on GBPJPY long as we bounced from 228.22 - made 61 pips over 4 trades. Still a hundred pip gap there from Friday close. Currently trading at 229.20 so will be interesting to see whether we fill the gap whilst I get some shut-eye.

No trades currently open - that makes 241 pips for September so far

Hi there Bellefemme - hope you are keeping well

LOL, if you're asking whether I've lost enough to blow an account then the answer is no but I have losing trades just like anyone else. The past few months have been positive and I've learned that this is just the time to be more careful as there is nothing more dangerous than over confidence.

Yup, there's a lot going on fundementally right now and the market has not been easy to read. I still try and concentrate on price action and if there's no set ups, I'll stay out of the market until I see one.

OK, two new trades just opened (they've immediately gone 10 pips against me as soon as they were opened but we all know that's a given don't we )

EURCAD short from 1.4511 (s/l 1.4607, t/p 1.4414)

EURAUD short from 1.6708 (s/l 1.6866, t/p 1.6550)

Let's see how these develop......

Hi Steve,
I'm interested in your reason behind eur/cad short. I noticed on my feed, daily PB is forming, but on 4hr price is testing broken resistance now support ?

Thanks,

Well I'm fine with EURCAD as I left my longs behind 100 pips higher, but Stevie, I'm still long EURAUD, whatcha doin

Don't rob me of my dreams!

And yea, I see the gigantic PB here, too....but my daily close isn't until in another 2 and a half hours ;p

I'll just move stops then, alright!?

Geez

You and your greed for pips!

Hi

I trade almost exclusively from the daily charts and the daily bar has just closed at 10pm UK time with a daily pinbar/shooting star. I tend to open my trades before the actual PB is broken which is more risky than waiting as some do.

However, it's been a successful strategy in the main and I just take the trades as I see them. Although I'll take note of the 4hr, 1hr charts I rarely use them for entry. In my opinion the entry is the least important part of the trade.

Once the trade is set it's time to sit tight and believe in my strategy, reducing the stop loss as I see fit. I appreciate I'm being as vague as usual lol but it's just the way I do things and in the main it works for me lol.

Kind Regards
Steve

Right, both trades have moved into profit overnight and I have now moved stop losses on these to 10 pips into the money, guaranteeing 20 pips minimum. TP levels remain the same and I'll reassess in about 5 hours (assuming of course the trades are still active).

Currently EURCAD is plus 29 & EURAUD plus 35.

Hmm, stop loss on EURAUD just hit for 10 pips - EURCAD looks like it may get hit too but I'd rather lock at least something in than risk a 60 pip profit turning into a loss.

Can be frustrating but that's what it's all about lol - September pips +251.

Well, once in a while you feel the forex gods are with you

As you'll see above, I adjusted the stop loss on EURCAD short to +10 just as I was preparing to go to work. As I turned off the PC my position was +11 and I was obviously resigned to being stopped out.

Imagine my surprise then that having just returned for a break, I find that not only was I not stopped out but my t/p was also hit for a cool 97 pips Edit - just also seen that the market only went 1 pip beyond my t/p as well rofl

This is one of those payback days for when stops are hit and it bounces and you feel so frustrated with the market lol.

So, no positions on at the mo but 107 pips from these two trades which makes +348 pips for September

Kind Regards
Steve
