I alway nibble in different areas small piece here small piece there till I get size I'm comfortable with. Lower leverage wider stops = larger profit targets & building positions it what works for me & what I'm comfortable with.
Yes that's how I usually play this pair as I have been kicked In the nuts a couple of times with it!

My target is fairly modest, not really looking to get a breakout just a bounce back to the resistance zone at the top of the range. Even with that, my ratio is around 8. Can't beat that with a stick!
8:1 not to shabby at all. I'm looking to unload some around the same area myself. I always try to carve out pieces along the way so if the trade goes against me in the end if a I take a loss it's very minimal.

Getting closer to my level at 81.73. I would rather like long target up to 84.13. However I prefer to wait for PA confirmation. Break below 81.73 may drop to next support level at 80.43. Lets see
I took the long trade at 81.73. Closed one position for 30+ pips and another position running successfully on other account. Hope you guys got something from this quick reversal.

Been in this one for days adding on all the dips & looking to hold going into the elections, obviously booking profits along the way

Morning Sir, I see that you are killing those pips nicely , I also grabbed an entry at $81.85 last night and I will stick to it as long as I can.

Cheers

P.S: If today the candles break the Kumo at $82.30-35 and confirm that break we can see a nice swing like the other days

Yes sir im definitely enjoying this PA, I bought some more e/j as well on the US close. Glad to see you got a great entry as well hopefully we get a serious break to the upside in the next couple of sessions this has been a fairly long consolidation & there should be some serious power in the move.

Agreed, we should definitely see a serious move in one direction or the other in the next couple of sessions.

From what I can see the BOJ are questioning if the easing they did in sept and October was enough,maybe hinting at a lot more to come.

Seems strange they always say they will take bold action when needed and if the Japanese economy shows signs of turning down well surely it is showing those signs.

The only reasonable thing why I still think is ranging is because the greenback has pressure from the EUR, after the Greek deal, but Greece? That country is like a bottomless sack... they put again and again and again money into it, because if the Greek's leave the EU it will be catastrophe, is like domino... or a water drain, if the Banking System in Greece fails, follows Spain,Italy and Portugal so that's why they are still pumping cash to them, but wait for Spain to have some problems again or for the people in Athens to have a big riot and you will see the EURUSD at $1.27-28.
Of course here some will say, hey what about Ben's QE ? Well I think that US is slowly recovering and this round of QE no.3 will not have such a big impact like QE1&2! Ohhh man here I go again with my nonsense , watch the graphs, trade with logic and trust your guts, all the other things are just shadows in the sun

You make a good point about QE3 the dollar didn't lose as much against the yen when they announced it so another sign to be positive about longs in my opinion,just depends if the fed increase the amount

I was reading the same things. At this point I'm just watching the PA & looking for levels to be broken & taking pieces off along the way. If we do get a solid break & close above some higher levels we should get a pullback or consolidation shortly after where all add more in.

Yep same play as it has been the last few weeks.

But at what point will everybody be looking at trend reversal ? and may be a bigger move ?
Break of 85.51.

When do these trades become a long term hold?

My opinion ? After $84.80 until that point is all ranged
