I won't sell at that price. A better short position would be 91.10 level. Technically speaking, selling is not advised. To put a SL @ 12 pips away will definitely get hit. Maybe you want to change the SL to 91.20 ?
Thanks. I just want to understand why you think 91.10 is a better level to sell?As the pair is currently ranging between 90.6 and 88.5 thereabouts. A sell at 91.1 may not be triggered. Also why do you say that technically selling is not advised?

What is your opinon on this? I have a limit order to sell USD/JPY pair at 90.50. That's the upper limit of the range this pair been trading since around 20th May. Stop loss at 90.62. T/P at lower ranging level at 89.50
It looks good, although I'm not too confident to be holding trades for such a broad spread. With the choppy PA of late I'm more into 'hit and run' scalps because I can't be sure which way, and for how far, any trade may run. Your theory is good though but I woud be keen to get the SL to BE as soon as practically feasable.

Just my opinion of course....good luck

It's my opinion. I prefer long than short. You may of course trade whatever direction and at whatever price you like. Happy trading!

Any daily chart will show that USDJPY is at the lower end of the trend. Would you sell at the lower end or buy at the higher end? Therefore technically selling (at the lower end) is not advised. Just my 2cents.

I've enjoyed today so far....sitting at +60 pips so far. The PA is bouncing between DP and Monthly S2.......

It's fun isn't it? Such a nice pair to trade. I have no position. Can afford to relax a little bit.

Yep, this pair has been very good to me over recent weeks.....especially when the eur/usd pair was messing about.

88.xx had yet to be tested. I'm buying heavily @ 88.20 if that price really comes. Since 91.00 is intact, the bearish trend should continue.

@mary: you really can take advantage from the bounce. ha3 great for you.
now the USD/JPY is allready at 90.40 and if this is just the same like yesterday PA then down to 89.xx is the next. i can not see any reason for this pair breaking to 92 or 91 level for today or rommorow. there is still no sign for this pair jumping right now.
