I closed the GJ sell for +13. I simply was too nervous after spotting that Heavy support. Whether it holds or not I just wasn't comfortable with that trade at all....I am glad to not take a loss on this one.

Time to fire up the grill yall have a great evening! FX Dad please let us know if you plan to have the room open tonight, I would love to join in...

Yes DS, room is open. I won't be there, but another great trader, Martin might be. I had something come up, and won't be able to attend tonight. You can enter the room through the blog. Email me about a time in the evening, maybe around Tokyo open, that we can talk about your trade plan in the room.

Take care!

Hey Guys, I'm liking range breaks on the GBPUSD, AUDUSD, and the consolidation forming under the trendline on the GBPJPY. Watch PA, breaks could be short, maybe 15 -40 pips. TP when you can. Never be afraid to close early, when you close with profit.

TP'd second half at +35 for a net of 28 pips.

FX Dad it helps the confidence factor when I am watching a setup then see you mention the same setup. It lets me know that I am on the right track.

Keeping an eye on the UJ and sterling PA while in my GJ trade really helps me sit tight much longer than I was able to before. They moved in sync very nicely lending good strength to the GJ. There was a stall on UJ, that is why I closed out. I now see there was more left in the move, but I am very happy with the trade. I saw the setup, made my trade plan and stuck to it....

Hey Buddy,

Glad you grabbed a few pips on that one. I ended up trading it too, as the break happened just as I was about to leave. I got in a .40 and out at .89 for a net of 42 pips. I'm happy to know that I can do something right for a change. If I could only get my exwife to believe that once in a while! LOL

Have a great weekend! (Everyone)

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone's weekend was good. I took yesterday off because of the GBP Bank Holiday. I'm not really looking at any trades going into Tokyo. The closest thing I see to a set up is on the GBPJPY, on a breakout of 50 pip range it's in. I don't like the PA, as the candles have not begun to squeeze into a tighter range. I like to see a tighter candle formation before the Sydney and Tokyo markets open. PA is a little too sloppy for me right now. If you take a trade of the break, I'd keep stops tight and look for smaller profits.

Cable is forming a consolidation squeeze, but again, look for shorter targets and tighter stops.

I'm going to wait for London. See you in the live trade room later.

I agree FX Dad, I like the JPY crosses during Tokyo and as much as I stare at these trying to see a good trade I just can't. If I were into high risk I like the EJ break down at around 132.98. However The USD/JPY is not helping with direction much....Think I'll go to the Gym instead! I may join you tonight in the trading room.

Take care

That's good DS. I'm glad you aren't forcing any trades. Usually a big Noob mistake. It takes a lot of discipline to not trade all the time, and just pick out the prime opportunities.

The USDJPY is consolidating, but that is a good thing as when Tokyo opens, we want it to bust out and make a move to carry the other JPY pairs with it. What I don't like about today's consolidation is that it started at a 80-90 pip pange. Recently, the UJ has been trading tighter, and I don't like the volatility of it, but it has all indications of a decent break out. I will still not take any trades, and just watch how PA plays itself out, just in case this is a new pattern for the JPY, we'll need to get a feel for the new PA.

True, it may be the recent elections in Japan are playing a role in the increased volatility. Maybe things will settle down a bit and become a little more "predictable".
