This could turn into a great thread. Will you be posting the best performing pair each week? If so, how will you determine the performance? % change? I have thought of keeping a journal for my own use on the best performances of the week. I was hoping it would help me find the best trends thus giving high probability setups. The EUR/JPY was beautiful this week.

Do you think you will include posting the worst pair for the week?

It doesn't get more beautiful. This is not an aberration. EJ puts in the best waves of any pair - been doing so for years. My top three are:

1-EJ
2-GJ
3-GU

GJ and GU have the widest daily ranges but are a bit more volatile. Trading them all is not a bad idea, but I'll use lower lot sizes with 2 and 3.

The rest last week were all poor performers, i.e, too volatile. See for yourself.

EUR/JPY is one of two pairs I have watched the last 3 weeks. I really like your perspective. Look to see more updates, bookmarked the thread .

Have a good week.

GJ blew away the competition. 600 big ones. Compare to GU who finished week unchanged.

Is there more next week? BOJ expected to raise next week (2/22). Has this been discounted or will the shorts go into pure panic mode?

Let me know if you have the answer.

I have to agree with you there man, GBP/JPY is definitely a killer in terms of movement. It even blows the GBp/USD away in terms of movement.
I dream, therefore I become.

Good posts.... Is there anyway you can type out the correct currency pairs i.e. EUR/USD, instead of typing the short cut EU? This would be very helpful. As s professional trader for several years, I have never seen anyone take this short cut. Your the only one on this forum that does this and this is confusing to the new traders.

Thanks a bunch and good luck!

What a surprise! GBPJPY(GJ) and his partner in crime, EURJPY(EJ) are this week's clear winners. Based on Mr Fukui's statements on Weds, we should be looking for more of the same.

I like M15 as a primary trading vehicle. Check MA100 slope; it's a money maker.

Don't forget that a buy on GJ pays $24/day per contract. That's quite a hedge; enough to buy an additional contract every month at 200:1. Talk about compounding!
