yeap, im in short on EU @ 1.5610
Long on UJ since 100.070..

I'm gonna perma hold UJ for the roll overs.. =p
IMO I just simply believe 100 is a really strong resistance level for UJ, since there're many carry traders around, a low USD against Yen is the best opportunity for the carry traders..

Anyone with any other opinions? Anyway I'm using a 4Hr MACD strategy..

Yeah, not a good starter should bailed and jumping on UJ short but I will be victorious. Or stopped out for a small loss, first loss in 8 if you disclude the trade I went Long on instead of short so bailed immediately.


But I hear no fat lady singing

LYY 08 here on EU it's relatively weak but hmmm damn

I'll be looking for UJ support on the 100.00 aswell for a bounce.

GU's likely got legs to reach 335 pulling.



EU stopped -19 arrghhhh!!!!

BACK in EU think I got punk stopped LOL Either way much better trade here

Navin How many trades ?? how many pips down approx ???

GU even in retrospect looks hard to call today, EU on the other hand go Long near the 1day SMA ( average value of the day ) ( 2 white lines on my chart 15M ) Worked a few times, a setup I'd of been trying to play!!!

you're trading with ur emotions man.. chill out, wait out.. i myself aint sure the actual direction of EU's movement, no idea the upside's due to 5pm coming up.. interest period.. i'll be monitoring for a while, eyes are getting tired.. will update u if i see a negative sign and exit.. eu's bullish.. but it has to end someday.. anything can happen, best of luck.. i just hope my uj dun fall back to 100.. lol.. my 100+ pips would be gone.. *Sad*

LYY should not be trading, long meeting all day SHATTERED to be honest.

My GU target / resistance area worked out.

No stop on EU at all, when it popped to a new high just, doh!! but still holding!!

My brain tells me to BAIL and be happy I'm still tradeable, but I'm still holding, and hoping to get lucky and catch a sell off!!

Navin, down days happen, if you can say you traded well regardless of profit, that sometimes is the best you can do, did you ??

Navin, ohhh okay fair enough, me to he says holding onto EU as it heads up again, after a near break even exit coulda been had

Tommorow off trading myself ( might not be optional at this rate LOL )


GU 335 resistance holding as expected.

LYY I've got a 100.55 JU 12hour sma line that it's just tested and held over so odds are you'll be fine, GU's using this as resistance currently to.


* sometimes you learn more on down days ( small sollise ) LOL *
