You might want to think about not using limit orders until you have a better feel for things... those things can beat you up pretty good if you don't have a very good long term view of things. And I usually change my long term view several times during the day, as things change...

At the very least think about setting an expiration time and/or stop loss on them. They expire before a big announcement for instance, so they don't get triggered by a pip and then reverse for a week. I find myself rarely using them any more in this market.

PS except for slow ranging pivot entries
Tell me about it. I got crushed trying to trade the USD/CAD pair on rate decision day last month. placed a buy limit order too aggresively got triggered and went straight down.

I believe we will find out after midnight eastern time...... what do you think?
Dove,

I am looking at 10M, 20M and 30M USD/JPY charts with BB and Slow_Stoch.

BB's on the 10M and 30M look to be opening up with the candles riding the upper band.

Slow_Stoch looks on the upswing after being below the 20% line twice.

So, should this move up? I'm thinking yes the indicators are showing an uptrend about to take place, but somewhat of a weak one..

What to you think?

OK Bristol - lets got too the 20 chart and at 20:20 ET you will notice that the candle bounced off the upper BB.......Also at 20:20 the PDI/MDI was getting ready to cross...... at 20:40 the crossing happened and on one pip retrace I made an entry at 168.15 for the short...... I took 25 pips and then waited for it to come back because it is now below yesterdays low all indication says it is going long....... At 23:30 candle on the retrace I got in for the long at 167.95.... Study that for awhile and see if you can see it......


One other thing...... the PDI/MDI is on the verge for a another crossing going up.......

I closed my new long at 106.94 - it's very reluctant to go higher now, and I'm too sleepy

By the way, do you know the difference between investor and speculator?

Speculator buys low and sells high.

Investor buys high and can't sell at all

Well, I'm out of USD/JPY. Even , no pip there. Got to tired of waiting and don't think it's going to do anything but range untilk Europe opens up.

This from DOW JONES

0431 GMT [Dow Jones] Very strong USD/JPY bids stand at 106.70, players short-squeezed as many caught short by AUD/JPY, which spiked to 102.60 from 102.00, on better-than-expected Australia June jobs data, recovery in Nikkei, now up 85.27 at 13137.40 after hitting almost-three-month low of 12930.32 in morning, says Singapore-based dealer. "My friend sold two hundred million in dollar/yen in the morning around 106.85-90 but the pair only dropped to 106.70 where he met many bids. Dollar/yen is now very firm as many players are short-squeezed." USD/JPY last 106.88, AUD/JPY at 102.58.(LST)

200,000,000 JPY, and it hardley moved, imagine what is being sold or bought to make it move like we see it during some big news announcements. Wow.
