You should ask yourself if you traded good and what could you have done differently? going against the daily not a good idea...?

Only if you do the same mistakes all the time its time to quit...

Paper Trade {even if you are on Demo which I hope you are} for a week. Mark your Charts 'as if you Traded' but don't take them.
Review it in a week & then Paper Trade again for another week.
Rinse & repeat.

If 2 weeks sounds like too much time to spend on this excersize, perhaps Forex is not for you.

Harsh but believe me, If Forex Trading was easy, we wouldn't have Lotteries.

I would consider giving it 2 months.

Agree. I spent 2 months in my demo account before going live, and I went live with a mini account.

1. Trade in demo account for 2 months
2. If unprofitable, return to step 1. If profitable, go to step 3.
3. Trade in live account for 1 month
4. If unprofitable, return to step 1. If profitable, continue on...and enjoy your newly found pips.

The gist of using pivots is to enter long only, if we are above the pivot. Enter short only if we are below the pivot. There are exceptions of course, but I would need a good reason to go short from (say) R2. By a 'good reason' I mean that if the pair is way oversold AND at a fib line or some other convincing psyco line AND the pa looked bearish. Otherwise I would sit out the short and see what happens at the pivot.

There's quite a bit more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate it

Excellent advice. I demo traded for 12 months before going live. Even when I went live, I opened with a small account and was quite prepared to lose it all, and put the loss down to 'cost of education'......nothing in this life is for free!!

As it happens, I didn't blow the account, but I believe that it was soley due to my 12 months demo trading.

In the bigger scheme of things, what's 12 months? It's nothing right? As an added bonus, you get to learn patience, which is another essential ingredient to this business.

When you look at the map of Japan’s neighbors, my answer is no.

All their regional trading partners manage their currencies to one extent or another from China to South Korea to Singapore to Taiwan. Japan is at a major disadvantage if it allows the JPY to strengthen unchecked.

On the other hand, they are likely chastened by the experience of the Swiss in recent months who lost billions trying to weaken their currency.

Look for the BOJ and MOF to try and ratchet up verbal intervention and employ proxies (like Kampo) to weaken the JPY in the near-term. If the market happens to get very short of USD/JPY, perhaps they would then enter the market to hurt the speculators. Otherwise, expect a conservative approach.

Most see 85-ish as Japan’s line in the sand. If risk aversion stays high next week, look for the market to test Japan’s pain threshold.

I agree!

But I recommend to trade live with an account as small as you are willing to loose. Then you´ll also learn how to manage your mind when you win and loose real money

With Oanda, you can have have a 50$ account. It´s almost the same as demoing.

Also, start trading with daily bars! Get your daily adrenaline rush from something else

Friday culminated in risk markets getting sold off and the USD suffering the most as a result. Usddxy continues to break lower causing a fresh wave of usd selling across the board. This week sees a raft of corporate earnings released. However, taking into account how the market has digested the results last week, I am firmly in a sell usdjpy on rallies mode. I am looking to sell rallies toward 86.80/00 initially and beyond there with a stop through 87.30/40.

On the downside a break through 86.20, will lead to a fresh wave of retails stops being triggered. Eurjpy has good support at 110.60/70 while 113.50/60 still marks the base of the ichi cloud.

Why stand aside at 85.50. This could easily go to 84ish?

Because last time we were at 85 the Japanese govt acted and the pa took off north. I don't wish to get on the wrong side of that!
