Hmmm...I wonder if the problem lays there...It shouldn't, but who knows? My live broker is FXCM(Australia), but I use Wall Street Brokers as my USA based demo account and I run my pivots etc on that account. The pivots seems to agree with other traders pivot levels.....

Story of my life Patience......I'm soooo misunderstood!!
I've been You tubing so much the last few months that everything I seem to read now I can relate to a song. You've just reminded me of one. It must have been a hit in NZ or, at least, it was on my parents record collection Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

I've just been skimming weekly ranges and I note that A/J has only done 5 pips more this week than U/J. I hadn't realised since I've nicked quite a few pips on A/J this week with ninja in and ninja out. I have no idea where this is going to go. Good luck everybody and be safe. Don't waste all your week's profits in one day.
Nothing worth having is easy.

Now it is good price to sell, sell while it is above 86, S/L 87. Hold until just before tomorrow's unemployment claim number release, or until Friday's unemployment rate number.
If you followed my suggestion, please cover your short now.

Hello WGann,

Do you think it is possible for the pair to go down to 84.84 before going up again? I have a pending order there

Thanks,

So would you say if tomorrow's NFP was bearish the down trend will continue? My call is that no matter what happens tomorrow, the down trend will be over, becos time expires on Saturday. And I will show you how to trade what I predict.
Uh huh.....

Thanks,
It is safe to buy after 14:00 UTC. After this time, the market will not fall below 84.50.

However I would recommend you buy after London or New York close, if it is below 85, with a stop-loss order set at 83.

If the downtrend is going to be over, it be soley due to intervention from Japan, which may happen. Not beause the clock, the planets or your crystal ball says so!!

This increases the possibility of new QE-measures being revealed next week, at the FOMC-meeting. So rebound is unlikely. At best maybe some sideways action before lower range of 84.

Regarding intervention: The only way it could be effective in such a strong downtrend is if several CBs did it together, which is not going to happen.

Linear thinking... Anyways, if you can double your capital in 1 month your argument will be more convincing.

Like I said, I'm not here to debate, I prefer to convince people with real trades and P/L. You are free to believe whatever you believe, as long as you can make money. I hope this settles the argument.

I really don't see any BoJ intervention any time soon, they will be burning yens only if they do so now. This NFP only confirms down trend on USDJPY maybe to 84.

If Nikkei falls below 8500 maybe BoJ will be force to intervene, but they will only "talk" about intervention to move the market in the meantime.

Talk of possible BOJ intervention is on both sides of the fence with good points being made on either side. The first verbal shots were fired a few days ago,

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-0...on-prices.html

The market will always search it's boundaries, which is what it's doing now, while the trend is down, this pair is trading is dangerous territory, if you have ever seen the BOJ in action, it's ugly, and you don't want to be caught on the wrong side.

fwiw.

Well we agree on one thing....making money is the reason we are here.

Trying to double one account in one month will end it tears. The tortoise won the race, not the hare. I don't have a problem per se with the way you trade....we are all free to trade as we see fit. However, I don't believe that this forum is the correct place to "convince people" of anything. We are here to share ideas and methods, not convince people that your crystal ball is the best way to go.

Anyhow, good luck and good trades

I agree...intervention will be used as an 'emergency' fix.....they really can't afford to intervene directly, and, as has been dicussed over the past couple of days, intervention doesn't work too well in the longer term
