Nice, we could possibly see another retest of 146 before moving up again, I also lazed in bed longer than I'd of liked today and its been a habit this week lol I'm normally up at 6.55am on the dot to scalp before london opens, I probably won't make any entrys today either, gonna let the dust settle and be back scalping as of monday, I can't see there being much movement until NFP either, to which it'll either whipsaw or blast off either up or down, gotta nip into town today too.
6:55am huh? I wish that for me. I have to get up at 2:45am to catch London open. Kinda sucks when I go to bed at midnight to watch Tokyo...lol I do believe we'll see some more movement today and probably to the upside overall. But only time will tell.

How do you get by on so little sleep? I typically go to sleep 30 minutes after Sydney opens then get up 30 minutes before it closes. If it wasn't for the dog I would get up even later

A lifetime of doing so really. When you become self employed at 16 with a family to care for, you don't get a lot of sleep. LOL

I have to admit at my age now, after a week it does catch up. That's why I fell asleep just before the BoJ and missed the bulk of the ride.

Given the PA here, I could have slept another few hours though.

Indeed, living in the UK has only one benefit... you sleep at normal hours if you want to trade london

5 hours of sleep is plenty for me. Up and at em... I agree a test lower would be in order although it is friday it seems to be ranging a bit between 62 and 49.

buy order pending at 146.12 just above the open of the supply candle on the 5minute charts, 20 pip stop, 20 pip profit target, if its not hit 30 minutes before NFP, its getting cancelled.

I guess you do get used to it, heck it only took 5 weeks of nigh shifts to have me convinced I preferred sleeping in the day being constantly woken up by drilling and chainsaws

Some brokers will do that. Did the whole order get filled? I remember Geppy saying his broker will at times fill a portion, but not all of an order when price gets close.

I took another at 16

Yeah, the whole order got filled, its done that a couple of times over the past few weeks, this is the only time where you could say its not gone in my favour, filling at a higher price for a long position.

Please help me to understand, by explaining why you knew there was a supply area at 146.12 and hence placed the order to buy there?

Thanks

NFP in just over 10 minutes, got a buy order waiting down at 145.63 to catch a spike down, if there is one...very low risk.

WTF?? My platform won't let me modify my orders?? Trying to put SL's in and it won't take them. Tried a restart but no go. Hmmmm.

EDIT: Oh geezzz...the numlock was off on my keyboard. I just closed my two weakest longs before finding that...LOL

All out, bit premature but not too bothered. 147.6 to 147.8 is proving to be a bit of resistance.

Good luck to the rest of you.

By the way, added two GBP/JPY longs @ 146.239 and 146.585 SL: 260 TP: 320 D1 MACD just crossed over to the upside again and I entered using the H1 Williams % once price was "over sold"
GBP/JPY longs are doing alright, roughly 112 pips and 78 pips floating profit with these two positions.

If this push can't crack 147.96 and hold, I may bank these longs and stay flat for the weekend.
