What a post dude! Tell it like it is....

You must admit there is a curtain anticipation to this need for a different policy. And with that , we may see a possable huge move here... like the swissy and the crap it pulled...

Anyway, I'm just a dog looking for a good meal...

Best Regards
Ill play what ever happens regardless... That is why I said if the UJ breaks 78 we will look at a retest of 80.24

Honestly though I just think we need a REASON for these things to happen. Its hard to compare Japan to Switzerland. Much different Macroeconomic forces at work for each country. Im not ruling out that Japan would peg to the USD. But frankly, they have a much larger macro global responsibility than switzerland does.
So its sort of apples to oranges. Plus the sheer amount of liquidity it takes to move the Uj is very different from the more illiquid UCHF

Again not saying it cant happen... Anything is possible.. and when we do get to 65 major guns may get pulled out and massive capitulation may follow

but its always good to know why this stuff may happen. What the underlying causes are. Thats my edge anyways

So, regardless of whether anything happens with the yen next week, I'd like to post my strategy for taking full advantage of it and would like some constructive feedback.
I'm supposing an intervention will, at the very least, shoot for the lower 80.00 zone. Anymore than that would be nice but I can't imagine it.
I used the 8/4/11 event as a guide for the tiered BS strategy. It looks good to me but I think my 50 pip SL might need to be enlarged.
I'd also like to get some opinions on the other yen crosses and how to prepare a "ladder" of buy stops with appropriately placed SL & TP.

this buying is very smooth, almost like someone with huge firepower releasing it via robots to achieve smooth, non-disruptive rise.

what are the tells?

The chart looks great right now. We finally have the breakout I´ve been looking for. The RSI is up to 57. We need to break above the 200 SMA and hold it to confirm that this is what I think it is.

I closed the trading long I bought yesterday at 76.82. I am still holding my 10 long term contracts. Will hold those until we hit 100.

I´m like you Bear. I´ve always felt it is easier to catch ten 1 kg fish than one 10 kg one, but I´ve been keeping an eye on USD/JPY for months now. I traded it dozens of times for great profit and I´ve been seeing a lifetime opportunity develop as a long term hold. I´ll continue to trade the pair like crazy, but I´ll let these 10 contracts net me a nice 200,000 if we get to 100. There are few oportunities like this in Forex. I let the euro move from .86 to 1.60 escape me even though I saw it clearly before it developed. I´m not going to let this one escape.

Same here, I missed the 9/20 EUR blast by 30 minutes but was able to take a ride on the 9/21 train north. My ladder to 1.2500 is still sitting there waiting.

Honestly, after 6 months of demo trading, it was the Aug. 4th JPY intervention that had me funding a live account within 10 minutes and I took the 5 day, slow boat short to 76.00.
I'm sure most of you know what it was like the first time you went live. I was a nervous mess and couldn't pull the trigger as the yen was still moving up. I had to calm down and wait for the pullback cause I had NO idea how high it would go or if it was a peg to the dollar.

So yeh, I'm not going to miss the next big move up. Got kids graduating HS soon and I'd like to give them a few nice things before they head off to the USAF for a few years.

I tell you, if we get to the spring with the polls pointing to an almost sure republican win in 2012 (which I believe will happen), you are going to see the dollar rocket up against the yen. It will be a gradual climb starting probably around now and it will gather legs in the spring to fall of next year. Both Perry and Romney have talked down the easy money Fed policy and are talking up King dollar as in the Reagan years.
