i'm curious: why do you trade yen futures instead of .uj or some other yen pair?

I do both. Just flexibility and hedging. I primarily analyze yen futures to find opportunities in UJ or EURJPY, sometimes GBPJPY.

Stepped up my game a lot when trading USDJPY when I looked at DX (dollar index) and 6J (yen futures).

to anyone who's watching: here's your chance to fade the .uj

looks like it could be reversing... go for it!

The USD/JPY has been on a down run since the open of the month. Over the past two days, the pair has completed a DB and what's pending is a neckline break. {image}
Finally played out! Didn't it?
This is the market, don't seek perfection.
If it looks like a DB, higher prob. that its a reversal
70 points up!

It did. The break of the neckline at 96.90 was outside my normal trading hours so I missed it but it didn't look back. I got in at 96.55 and 96.75. There is some resistance just here, though, at 96.75 so I'm expecting some choppiness. But I'm not taking any profit here. I'm holding. That kite in my previous post could take us all the way up.

Now. Where's that highlighter?

Very much so. Without going into lots of detail on fundamentals and the possibility of a deeper correction off these levels which will set me back again (I was long from 77 - 79).

Retrace to 97.5 then continuation upward. Since I called it publicly, it probably won't happen though.

many are trying no doubt, but stair-stepping continues: treads installed at 96.40 and 97.13 --- why ever would the BOJ and company stop? any reversal would allow huge numbers of nearly dead bears to escape from the trap set yesterday. i think now it will finally go to 104.

looks like next tread is going in right now at 97.97

I had a pending short order at 97.15 last week, fortunately, it was expired yesterday before the rally up. I am thinking about to place another short order at 98.45 with s/l at 99.05. I drew the line connect the daily chart high and it seems 98.45 is on the trend line now, also I can see 98.45 is EMA365 on the 4H chart, which gives me the idea to try short there.

Great shorting opportunity at 98.5

This one should go down as far as 94.8
