I know there are a few of these but I wanted to start a basic thread.

Short 214.64 TP 214.35

Looks like it has more room to go up compared to the EUR.

I really hope you might make it there; however, it is highly unlikely.

But doesn't he do news trades? I want a constant GBP/JPY thread. News and everything else included. And no name in the title.

No hard feelings. Wake up call for me. After you suspended me I calmed down and passed out up $6,400, woke up next morning at $4,200. If I was awake and sober I would of been able to close a few trades positive. Market reversed on me during the London session.

U.K. house prices worse since 2001. I know the U.S. has the same fate but why wouldn't Japan improve on these numbers? They've lost practically nothing through this.

sharing a bit more about my geppy short:

shorted @ 214.39
sl @ 215.14
profit @ 210.39

well...

i am opening this trade exclusively based on my techs... no fundies analysis here... since is monday... and tends to be a tech day...

but i must admit i am getting a bit nervous about this trade... but...

if i am willing to buy woulnt be a this price... i would wait to be stopped out... then wait for a retracement and then buy

and well...

i guess one can trade exclusively based on technicals... if u know exactly @ what price they revert themselves... i mean... eurusd is in an uptrend since it was created...

going short is not a bad idea... if u know what u r doing...

if fundamentals signal a carry-trade re-surge... well... i am going against that trend... not big deal.. cause when i be stopped out.. i'd know exactly where to buy then..

Very good analysis! I want to transist into long term trading. Problem is every time I'm up a couple hundred it reverses on me. Do you day trade as well?

I'm still stuck in a short at 211.83. TP 211.65. The night I passed out drunk it came within 1 pip of closing Now I'm down 250 pips. This thing won't run forever. I don't know when the next time GBP will have good news.

well...

a bit about me: i started trading the dailies...

good success...

mortgage crisis really changed my mind about making this a living... i realized that if i really wanted to profit this... at least if i dont have a million dollar account... is to day trade...

well... if u ask me... the long term of any pair is the carry-trade side...

if...

u r short from that price.. means u made a bad analysis.. and u should have used a shorter stop-loss... since u r day-trading...

now what u r doing is HOPING the trade retraces...

in my opinion.. today is a reversal day... with a potential of touching at least fridays lows... but...

if that doesnt happen... i REALLY suggest u to stop ur losses no matter what max @ 215.75

that is what i should do

btw... if the geppy is in deed accumulating short positions for todays since mid-day friday (gmt) we MUST see a big drop today but who knows...

maybe only small fishes like me are shorting.. while big dogs are having a laugh of my short..

haha...

shame on them!

lol

another thing...

this surge of carry-trades wont be selective at all...

maybe the gbp couldnt have good news... but still... apparently there is a bullish sentiment in the US economy again...

but again...

a lot of volatility still...

and as u said in ur first post... yes.. this has much more room to run compared to the eurusd.. but... eurusd is WAY MORE secure to trade... besides the stop-loss there is way shorter...

I am shorting this pair, too. I am expecting a fall down to 206... area before it will go up again. I mean come on, this pair should fall even by its gravity. GBP is just too heavy these days.
The greatest risk in life, is not taking one!
