last session was vaey strong. on the daily chart price is below the 100sma but far from it - suggesting an overdur correction is around the corner
Stoch is pointing up and has crossed

I know what you mean by just for fun. A compelling counter trend trade! As we dont know everything this trade might work out the best trade of the wee if the usdjpy takes off to the upside. And yes all ct trades need closer babysitting...

Well done PeterE

moved stop to b.e. before bed last night. moved it to just above todays open now so minimum of 37 pips, at 80 at the mo. think there could be a lot more down to come but on nfp day anything could happen, always a stressful day. might close it before

I took 30pip on the trade. Now I wish I wasnt too hasty. However check out the chart I uploaded. We are getting close to the breakdown point I highlighted a few days ago where I said this could easily rack up 700pips long term

You are already in...

Check out the eurjpy weekly chart

We have our magical 123 breakout all but confirmed
We have the MAs closing together
We have an agreeable MACD

This could be saying something bullish about this pair

Dare I say, no dream of targets like 120 and 127...

have just closed for 87 pips, moved stop tight but worried about slippage on nfp, have had it before. so thought best to take it. will look to reenter, probably not till monday though.

Great trade

Nobody knows how anything is

You stay in you may get stopped for 37pips or the market continues in your favour. Nobody knows. One thing I know now is that you have an untouchable 87pips in your account

Closed out for +38pips

All flat now. I an bullish on the usdjpy so I will be looking for entries in the eurjpy or the usdjpy, preferably the former.

NFP is hard to trade. if your happy with what you made sometimes its better to take and walk away. any profit can be wiped in seconds, but it could doube/ treble as well.
i dont know anything about usd/jpy. have never traded yen pairs.
best of luck with whatever you decide

with less volatility than expected. We can begin to search for entries again. The usdjpy came off 20 pips and is recovering. Euro came off about 35pips and is recovering. So we are in recovery mode

that nzdusd trade looks tempting...

I did not see that spike on my charts.

BTW: Were you highlighting the ending diagonal which usually means a rally in the wings?

i have a wedge on the 30 min chart that it failed to close below, and is approaching the upper line now
but taking the closes on 4 hr it closed below the lower tl.
still think shorts are the way to go

We are trying to hold 7340 area. We are now at 7367. It is still a sell.
