Sorry, but what is the difference?

I went long @91.15, what else is there to say?

I only sent half my troops in on my entry to this trade, the reserves are healthy and willing. I am more than wiling to see it drop to 87 anything below that...then I will stress.

the difference ??
"Long now for a 91.15 target" is different than a "long from 91.15" don't you think ???

And good luck with your long...waiting for more drop

Well, we have been near this level before... and it has proven tough to penetrate. FXCM's SSI indicator shows retail longs outnumber shorts almost 4:1--- so from a contraian view we should see more downside. However, just how strong can the yen get before it becomes too strong for risk aversion? By any recent historical perspective, yen it very strong already. Also, strong yen is hurting their export driven economy. I am still holding small shorts for 88.10...but my stops are near just above 89.50. Good trades to all

USDJPY – Market Analysis and Trading Plan (28 Feb 2010)
  • #15,036
  • Feb 28, 2010 4:00pm Feb 28, 2010 4:00pm
I am personally Long USDJPY... BUT:

#1. USDJPY is seasonally SHORT during the months of FEB/MAR; Japanese oversea companies repatriate their money back home in time for their Fiscal Year End accounting.

#2. Not so good Equities Market = Bearish USDJPY

#3. FXCM's SSI. This is a contrarian indicator devised by FXCM based on their client's positions. Of all their USDJPY positions, 74% are Long and just 26% are short. And based on their SSI contrarian study, the more traders on one side, the more it will go the other way. And yes, they have statistics to back up their SSI study with high accuracy of probability. (If I only had seen their SSI data a few days back, I would not have gone LONG USDJPY..)

you are right. I wanted to be long this pair but look at the weekly. I will add a few longs if it goes down to 86-87 area. otherwise just staying out right now.
