Any luck with E/J? E/U 1 pip = E/J 1.2x
Funny you should ask that, figured if I believe that eurusd should pop and Ken the yen wizard says that you get more pips in eurjpy, thought it's worth trying to look at that post-QE eurjpy stall as a consolidation. I still know nothing about yen except that they introduced QE, which always has a negative effect on the local currency. Applied some market risk there rather than technical...

why ? if UJ moves up more E/U will be on the down side isnt it /?
True, but E/U can't decouple from the rest.

E/J up, U/J up > E/U up.

Well, dunno what are you talking bout, but probably FX options. It is simply end of long term contract and as options are used as hedging instrument, investors will possibly reroll their hedges and make new ones. It is happening every day. I know PipTrapper on thread Euranalysis, was interested in option expires quite a lot, so you may try search function and look up his posts. I believe he was explaining it from time to time.

Not a Yen wizard, just I have been following YEN for a very long time and when USD/JPY is breaking the 6-years downtrend is too hard to pass it up. This kinda opportunity don't come everyday in Forex.

If you are in E/J, there's no other way but to watch U/J and E/U at the same time, well at least that's how I do it. For AUD/JPY, I watch U/J and A/U and so on for other Yen Crosses. If you play it right, you will forget trading E/U In addition the +swap is because the interest rate for Yen is practically 0 zero
