GBPJPY sell limit @ 158.165, price hasn't been back to this area since moving away from it in August 2009, risk is low. Stop is just above that small swing high and looking for a risk:reward of 1:2 at least.

Order was hit a few hours ago and I've just closed for +35, r:r ended up around 1:1, that'll do. That position was pretty accurate considering I used only the 4hour and daily charts to make my entry.

Good morning and thank you again for the strategy GBP/JPY. My goal is somewhere 156.60 and if you break 154.

Good morning! looking at the current 4hour/12hour charts it looks very likely a drop is on the cards for that pair but I'm going to wait for both those candles to close bearish before I get back in short, that said, there is high impact news out for GBP in just under 2 hours and this pair likes to spike.

Notice how big figure releases often work like support/resistance on their own chart.

GBPJPY....

I wonder if we'll see a spike down to that area in the chart below, It might be worth buyying a small buy order there for the news at 9.30... decisions.......decisions.....it is high impact so if there is a spike, the size will depend on the figure released.... hmmmm..

EURUSD buy limit @ 1.3259 just above that last bullish 4hr candle opening price and just above todays daily pivot, target 1.3325. Low risk 19 pip stop, r:r around 1:3, see chart below for expected move.

All I can do now is wait and see if the market comes to me :nerd:

Edit @ 10:52am, order has been changed from 2 lots to 1 lot.

haha I fear this EURUSD long may not be so lucky...

Price has currently stalled at the daily pivot so there's hope!

I think 1.3249-40 would hold.
Fibonacci - S1

It's looking that way! I've got a feeling it it breaks out of this resistance, it's gonna go big.

Looks good, I'm also looking at a short on that pair but going to wait for this current 4hour candle to close bearish and then put a sell order just under that bearish candle opening price.
