By the way,
Has anyone noticed that the "Useful Idiots" are getting too wise to the game to no longer be useful anymore?

The "Old Money" boys must really hate that. Can't say I feel sorry for them.

Quoting Why Oh Why
About to turn perhaps - the EA will probably exit the long around 91.

Actually exited nearer 92 and back in short just now.

Do not focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have.

Excerpt:
Even if there is a blow away jobs number Friday, many economists expect the report will show fewer private sector jobs were created in May than in April.

Economists forecast about 520,000 non farm payrolls, but expect only about 190,000 of those will come from the private sector, compared to the 231,000 private sector jobs added in April. Unemployment rate is expected to dip to 9.8 percent, from 9.9. percent.
As Friday approached, some economists raised the number of census workers in their forecasts. On Thursday, Goldman Sachs economists increased their forecast for census workers by 100,000 to 450,000, and estimated private sector payrolls at 150,000.

I am just curious why not many traders trade the yen compared to cable and euro? Is it because the yen has low volatility and doesn't move that much? I'm new to yen, so please bear with me.

Difficult pair to trade, missed a lot on other pairs because of it.

wowwww i think this is USD/JPY thread... why are there people post GBP/USD here... are we talking GBP/USD at this thread??????????
@micho: i think you have many out of topic post. can you back to post USD/JPY post in this thread... pleaaseeeee


btw the US unemployment rate shows an unexpected number. bloomberg analys predict the unemployment rate would be 9.8 but it show 9.7, a good number for me. so what i should wait for is USD/JPy back to 95.xx, even if now the USD/JPY is down for temporary. but this significant number will attract more people to change their currencies to USD..
any other opinion guys??

The NFP number wasn't that bad. It looks like most wants it to go down, so I go Long.

Lets see. TP 93.3~93.5.

i like to post everything here cause its a quiet thread...

for my USDJPY trades, i hope to be able to close the two open shorts today or next week at 91.30 for a total loss of -290 for both.
this will break my month to a +1316-290= +1026 similar to last month

i will post my statement once i close the trade
