WOW very informative.
I have a computer sicence degree from some unknown school in england!
And I too had my longs on the U/J
you are smart, computer science is very hard... and there is no school called unknown school, lol..

I have a degree in economics but i dont really think it helps that much for trading...(or more likely that i am not smart and i do not know how to use the knowledge i learned to apply for the real market... all i remember is my professors keep talking about perfect competetion market and at my final year, they told me the perfect competetion market is not exist in the real world, wtf...)

good for you long on U/J !!! But be careful if you still hold any more UJ because in my opinion if U/J cannot stay above 81.50 (Which i do not believe it will stay above until the next US election), the long term trend is still bearish !!!

i think about key factors for trading are brave heart, non-greedy plan, not too bad technical analysis and very safe money management.

don't have much faith in this intervention. european people are pretty mad at japan right now. might be a one shot deal like last time and the rate will go back down to 75 again

Does everyone think the interventions was a failure?

Lets think. On the last few interventions the price stayed at around 79- 80 for a session at least.

I large company ( that depends heavily on a weaken Yen) could process 6 to 12 months worth of orders and be merry for that time and not too adversely affected if the price completely reverses to new lows.

So who has won and who has lost here? When the Yen decides to strengthen. The export company's get a 6-12 month breather and import company's wait for a excellent price at the lows.

What do you think?

Hi Bel,
right you are, never been easy to fight BoJ, I'm inclined to think they are a lot smarter than we think.
They hate speculators and do everything in their power to kill us.
I'm preferring a more psychological approach on this, like the likelihood they return tonight would be considered large so do not long at such a moment.
The fact that I almost considered my longs a debacle last week is an example of it.
2nd. step let the market build longs from retraced levels, could take few days.

3rd. step pull it back towards 77

4th. step massively intervene again

a well just talking to myself....

I have 6 positions long now, 2 from Friday. Average 75.50. Nice position to finish it of with intervention. I have target @ 79.00. Let's just get it over with so I can quit trading YEN
Oh, here it is.

Well like I said I'll quit trading Yen for a while until it is down to a level where I can do just the same. No doubt we'll get there but it might take a few.
Finally I can quit trading this pair that I have hated since I discovered it.
I must admit that a considerable part of my NAV is built with GJ and UJ profits but the same is true for the grey hairs on my skull.
Back to EU. UCAD and other fancy pairs.
