Christ, just looked at XE.com and there it is: GJ GAP 110 pips down, @ 148.50
It's been reading that way since the close on Friday... I wouldn't be buying too much into it until we get closer to the open.

yes. but the thing is... even if all japanese people would put their money abroad, yen wouldn't be affected, well maybe as much as a fart from an occasional indigestion. it's all about the big sharks, isn't it. people like soros et co, and i believe they know exactly what to do. i know i would. i seriously doubt boj has enough resources to force all major sharks into an unwanted direction. look what happened with soros and boe in the past... there will be no avalanche unless big players want it, and if yes then guess what they'll do. buy when there's...
I hear ya, Scrat. And I agree. But if I were a big player in Japan, I definitely wouldn't be keeping my money in Yen...

Wow you must be really doing good here in forex. (I'm not surprised) Del Mar is kind of expensive to live, it's beautiful but there is one thing I hate about Del Mar, that's the traffic. But oh well, I wish you and Geppy both the best for next weeks trading GJ. By the way, do you know Wulfgar (active FF member)? He lives in Del Mar too. And then, here is a special for you and Geppy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BADZW9tZ1uc
lol thanks dude. Hope you have a good week too. I'm ready to get started!

If anybody is interested here is my Trade Idea For The Week supported by Weekly and Daily charts.

Trade Idea For The Week - LONG GBP/JPY

As you all know USD/JPY and ALL of the JPY cross pairs are in very strong weekly uptrends and have recently just broken out to the upside again due to BOJ monetary decisions.

From the last two posts in regards to GBP/USD and GBP/AUD you can see that I am expecting a possible short to mid-term trend reversal to the upside during the coming weeks for those two pairs.

Therefore, if looking to long JPY cross pairs I think that GBP/JPY will be the biggest winner this week!

I've yet to find a weekend price report I'd trust 100%. In my 'limited" experience I've found that regardless of what it does over the weekend, a lot of times it opens pretty close to where it closed Friday. That said.....I'd be happy with either of those two!
xe.com is usually pretty close

300 pip gap down, just went to http://forex.tradingcharts.com/chart...ese%20Yen.html current price 146.49
You're reading it wrong, that was the Friday opening price for some brokers.

It's been reading that way since the close on Friday... I wouldn't be buying too much into it until we get closer to the open.
All I want is wait and see what happens. I have a small short at the moment because my system tells me I should be short now.

If I had followed my own system as defined in my business plan, I would have collected almost a 1000 pips Thursday and Friday, but I didn't believe my own proven system because of the speed things were happening.
So I lost out on almost 700 of those pips.
My system told me I should have been long Thursday night @ 141.58 and close @ 146.59, then long again 146.83 - 147.44, then short 147.44 - 146.58
and then long 146.62 - 150.00. And no losses at all.

That's a total of 961 pips and I only got 300 pips or so and lost 45 pips due to my own stubbornness.

Lesson learned again!
Always stick with a proven system.

Looks a solid setup and a good entry makes it possible for lots of good pips. Would like to know though if you were looking to buy more on breaks of those resistance levels.

I only enter positions once H1 is over sold / over bought using Williams % for each pair that is traded.

Yea it looks like just about all JPY cross pairs are going to be opening higher than when retail brokers closed on Friday. The following screen shot was taken about 30 minutes ago or so for JPY rates at XE...

That is one huge spike. Wondering if Tokyo open will keep momentum to the upside. I am a bit surprised actually and will be even more so if we have dips from here.

Big question for those of us who don't currently have long jpy cross pairs positions is... are we going to end up closing the gap

Would make for a great opportunity to enter if we do... but bullish momentum is so strong at the moment.

It was at 140.50 on Thursday and now its at 150.50.. Absolute madness but thats why I love this pair, it moves.

I won't be doing much trading until Wednesday, quite busy until then.

Thats quite a jump and I do wonder if it will make its way down to the new support by London open.
