Pretty good spot to try some longs in AUD/JPY. {image}
Covered longs around 98, see what happens with BOJ tonight.

Holding a Aud/Jpy Short from 97.65 that was initiated a few days ago (not ideal price but still a good position overall) , considering the Long Term view, I figure that pair has the most to lose. I normally trade the Eud/Jpy but didnt see any value in the price at the time. This Aussie Yen pair is stubborn as a mule, or just a good practice of patience on my part?!

Risky spot for sure with BOJ tonight but a entry area here on GJ.

I straddled. Taken 130 pips on 1 lot and let the other run. Unfortunately I lightened the load as I was worried about getting whipsawed.

Wow, just have to say it. Anyone dare step in front of this. GJ to 150? Might be by tonight at this rate.

Yeah, it's a nice level. Pretty close to 125. There are probably a few short orders there.

If that 15 minute set up that looks like a bullish wedge takes EU to 1.30, and UJ keeps going we might see 127.25 again.

I did get my short closed a the 97.00 level. And was prepared for the unexpected. Unfortunately I did not have the time to setup a long trade as I trade manually. Congrats to all who traded the obvious and got that run. Now we know what the trading bias is for the next quarter....just watch out for the major market players who will be more than happy to trade against you at the obvious levels. Don't think like a retail trader....imagine you are the Shark in the food chain.

After the spike up yesterday I started closing out all of my short USD/JPY and JPY cross pair positions. It was obvious after the BOJ news that we are going to resume our weekly uptrend.

Anyways, took a total combined loss of 302 pips from all of my short positions. Am currently flat but will start looking to go long with All JPY cross pairs as weekly trend is up and D1 MACD has just crossed over to the upside. I will enter when H1 is showing "over sold" on the H1 time frame using Williams %. Hopefully we get some sort of pull back soon as I am anxious to hop on this gravy train!

Technically I was short last week but the fundamentals (BOJ monetary policy) has turned this view around so the best way to play the JPY is to short the hell out of it! (Long USD/JPY, AUD/JPY, EUR/JPY, CAD/JPY, GBP/JPY, and NZD/JPY should be the best trade ideas for the time being)

If you want to "counter trend trade" go ahead, but keep in mind that overall trend which is obviously UP at the moment for the cross pairs.

Hope everybody is having a fun and profitable week!

Thoughts on CHF/JPY in the coming months/year?

There is a potential triple top on the Weekly charts, but will the BOJ news outweigh it...I realize any shorts at this time are risky, but for long-term traders these levels look tempting...

So yesterday wasn't a very good day but today more than made up for it. Got LONG on USD/JPY as well as most of the other cross pairs.

All positions shown below were opened up in the past 12 hours or so.

I would only recommend going long on USD/JPY and the cross pairs due to BOJ monetary policy decisions.
