Went short @ the pivot (89.73), TP @ 89.60. This hopefully will hit before unemployment comes out; i don't want to have open positions when that comes out. Anyone trading unemployment? Technicals still look good for inter-daily bear trend (4hrs).
i think UJ UP to 91.80 tomorrow in unemployment..

Why do you think the unemployment numbers are going to come out better than expected? 91.80?! That's 212 pips up from the open!!!

Watch for some volatile movements on these
two pairs. Anytime you have a series of ema's
compress tightly together (6-144 emas) as you
see on these two chart they will release suddenly
apart producing a breakout and good trading opp.

Good afternoon everybody.
Hope you don't mind, but I'd really like the opinions of some seasoned UJ traders on something.
I trade my own 15 minute method purely on UJ.
It's pretty consistent as a rule(150-250 pips per month), but I've noticed over the last 2 months that watching the UJ chart is like watching paint dry in comparison with the preceding 9 or 10 months. I'm now making comparatively small profits, say 25-50 pips per month, which is pretty gruelling going.
My question is this; is UJ now, in fact, reverting back to it's more 'usual' behavior...
I've noticed the same thing. I trade the 15 min and 1 hour charts exclusively on USD/YEN and was consistently doing similiar number of pips but this whole week I have made what I would normally do in a day. I think the currency is in a period where it is moving sideways with very little volatility (based on daily chart). But generally speaking, the market will start to trend after a sideways move. Just don't know when.

However, this only happened to me this week.

Hi
If life returns to this pair, then I'm thinking that being able to trade it without drawdown during a sideways market is actually good news.
My fear is that the current level of volatility is the new 'normal'.
Cheers.

I see only this, so I'm short now. TP 90.05, SL 90.70, but looks that I will change it to 90.60 or close possition when price will back to 90.40, becouse speaches is coming.

Maybe I'm wrong, becouse news release was good for USD. So I open only half of possition.

Im in short from 90.50 and 90.40. Looks that I will stay till 90.20. You can see my fibo picture that is 2 posts ago.

Update: Now I move my SL to 90.45, becouse looks that in other pairs USD getting stronger and maybe this fibo will not work. But FED budget is good nows for short. So maybe other trader can give his opinion.

citrusvtk, you have short from that or what? =)

we'll see. 90.18 is resistance turned support. Right now its holding. London will decide where it goes.
