I'm in a position 89.30 (sell), it seems that my stop is already late! Sadly, prejudice declared!
Sorry to hear that...why no stop order earlier? I think this will go as high as 95 (if I'm not mistaken) or at least 93.50.

I know it will be hard to wait, but I go to wherever! rule is a rule! win or lose is part of that market!
I've learned that lesson myself...
no stoploss is like swimming in the ocean with no lifejacket or boat...
its too risky to take

I think there is good resistance around 93.50 (previous highs of 10th / 13th May). I'm still learning as a go along.

no absolutely brother. i didn't mean to come across rude, it's a lot easier to analyze though if we get to see a chart with what you're thinking..the charts tell everything. TF makes a big difference

Why are you married to an idea of going short? How do you know that it won't continue to 120?

I would have thought that it makes more sense to make a decision when we get to 93.5/95

Yes I think you are right. I guess nobody really knows how high or low the yen will go. I'm new to yen and learning.

It is important not to get married to a position. Signs are obviously pointing up and I trade a 4 hour minimum timeframe.

i think it still bullish for this pair. but in the middle of bullish trend there is always a minor down trend. and 93.5 and 95.xx is a good resistance level. you can short at this pair. but i would recommend to just take a small TP(50 or 100).after that i think there is a big chance this pair to break 95.xx and go to 97.xx. i believe this would happen in monthly time frame as the Japan experience a bad economy when the Yen is stronger. with the new japan premier i hope japan can get the Yen weaker and the economy back to a healthy condition.

this is just my opinion...

Thank you! I'm shorting at those prices. However, I don't think it'll go 97. Are you game for Aussie too?

The only reason to resign is there is no solution.
Why do people think a new "Suit" will be able to do what the best efforts of some very bright people were unable to do before.
It is foolish to believe in another empty suit and it is foolish to buy at the high.

Someone is *very* determined to artificially inflate the USD/JPY to this range, and they have the deep pockets to do it for 1 of 2 reasons.

1) They accumulate at this price to sell higher on expected positive news.
2) they are accumulating to drop a water balloon on the USD/JPY during a news announcement by selling all at once.

If anyone wants to go short, put a sell stop under the support and wait for the splash. I should also note that you should wait to do that after the broker has widened the spread minutes before the news announcement.
