There's a lot more to this than just Yen - $ correlation. The last NFP - the environment was all about risk aversion. Bad NFP meant more bad news in addition to the already bad news about credit risks, housing problems, etc.

So Yen pairs dropped.. because people wanted to get their money out of carry trades and invest it somewhere else. $ pairs rocketed up,, obviously.. because of bad NFP.. that's not exactly good news for the $.

I would not trade any yen pairs on NFP news.. I will stick to only EUR/USD or GBP/USD.
thanks for your help vishalj,so apart fr NFP most of the news should cause GU and GJ to correlate,right?

I should have posted the price of the 4H 200EMA on my last chart. It is right at 233.29. Here is one more look at it. For those who were wondering where to put a stop on your shorts I would put it somewhere just above the 4H 200 EMA. I won't give you an exact price. I think you can figure that out for yourself.

not really m2b--this is how stop hunting works---never put your stop loss close to major S/R--there is a high possibility that it will take your stop out by a spike above 200ema and then cont journey further south---look for a close above 200ema--especially in 30min Tf and above

Thanks for the picture. For some reason, my 200 EMA is nowhere near that level. I wonder why that would be.

200ema is at 233.40ish

Check to make sure that it is the 'exponential' moving average and make sure it is applied to the 'close'.

the other side of the coin is that the pair tried to breach that level 5 times including now... So i am worried that it might just break it today...

Not what i want though

Usually GU and GJ do correlate, but you have to understand that UJ is also a big factor. There have been so many times when GU goes down.. but GJ goes up because UJ is going up. Then there are times when UJ goes up.. but GU is down.. so GJ is stuck.

I would say, from my experience, I have seen more of a correlation in UJ and GJ.. GJ does get affected by GU is GU is moving wildly (like 30-40 pips) That's why my best trade was the interest rate cut - when GU went up, and UJ went up - so GJ went up 300 pips or so. That was fun

Looks like euro/usd just set yet another high. Airbus is going to have to start building planes out of cardboard in order to compete against boeing.

I think it will take some sort of major news event to push it through that barrier. A big increase in UK housing prices might do it, so I hope their housing market is following in the US's footsteps.

I know. That's why I didn't say how far above the 4H 200 EMA to place the stop. I wasn't just talking about 4 or 5 pips. I didn't give a specific number because I don't want anyone hammering me later on when there stop gets hit. When I say 'just above', I'm speaking in GBP/JPY terms, not EUR/USD terms. Some of the newer ones are going to have to learn what a few pips in GBP/JPY terms means. Newbies take note.

hopefully my friend...

a negative housing prices would be what we bears want most probably..

but 0.3% should also do the trick.

Speaking of airbus.

Airbus, the European plane-maker, warned today it could be forced to slash a further €1bn in costs because it was losing so much money on the dollar exchange rate, prompting fears it could cut more jobs and close more plants.

Yes, it could. That's why we use stop losses and hope the trade goes in our direction. Trading is about probabilities, not guarantees. Forex is not for the faint of heart. Don't start worrying. That is the beginning of indecision and failure in this market. Stay confident even through your losses and you'll do fine.
