If it is not the month end, UJ should see a clear bounce up. I am more bullish on this from today

1) anyone in the know .... is today a down day as described by former pit trader Peter Crowns ?

" In the pit the first thing you learn--- when you are ready to actually make money..., and stop the bleeding, is:

  1. Only be willing to buy a market if it is up on the day.
  2. Only be willing to sell a market if it is down on the day. "




2) is that a pennant on the 1hr chart ?

it dropped a lot today.....its almost noon in NY, there was no liquidity to be provided from london today.

its not a good idea to sell now.....just wait for a bounce to sell

i mean the pair went down, so i guess its a down day....but you cant trade like those guys, peter was a liquidity provider, they trade much differently than we do.

we just dont have the tools and information they have access to.....They will always be 2 steps ahead of us, its just a fact that we have to live with.

here watch this yellow line.....but there is very low volume right now so be careful.

yes , noted the low volume ... hence waiting for a breakout (if any ) of the pennant downwards with volume ... if it comes before i hit the sack ,say,in half an hour ... if not, close the laptop and go to sleep .

Last Friday's rally stopped at 50% retracement from July's high. Traders were expecting some kind of BoJ intervention to stop yen strength, but it didn't came. Lots of short covering helped the rally too. Not saying anything, but I'm still bearish on this pair.

lol.....no there's no handicap in trading financial markets. You just gotta use your analysis. If it sucks, then you'll probably loose money. If it's good and you can execute, then you might make money....

Well Archer, I got a response to my Friday's email this morning, they told me to exit the platform and clear my cache. I did this and both spikes disappeared, but I wonder if I have had an open trade and gotten SLed what would happen then.

Im not really saying its a handicap, they are just a different breed than retail traders, and their methods are different. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
