This is probably just the completion of the move up from 164 (wave 1) before it corrects down further (wave 2) .... then up.

Assuming it gets to 171 x, it probably falls back to 170.5 ish support before the final climb. That's the plan anyway.

170.8 or so is today the very top of the daily cloud, so anything's possible.

{quote} Oooh okay. I see that now. I just checked FF and I see that it was a high impact event. I've noticed that FF labels it like that which I think is cool, but I've never paid any attention to it and I guess I need to... at least to the high impact events. {image} Thanks. That actually answers a few of the questions I've had. I guess that spike down was triggered by Chinese Trade Balance, which came in 0.7B less than expected, so that makes sense. But I went back in time to the top of the hour and it seems like the down move started a little...
#1 and/or #3 are the most probable answers.

It;s in a really tight range squeeze, even narrower than yesterday, with the Bollingers on my H1 chart contracting. I've got a limit on the upside of 171,24, and about 169,85 on the down, and beyond that it's anybody's game. None of the other pairs I trade look any cleaner, so I'll be trying to pick off small trades at best for now.

{quote} Its meandering in a very small range so far, decided to close the short trade for 20+ pips. No sense in leaving an open trade with not enough momentum. There is also the possibility of price moving up to 171.00 before falling back down. Just have to wait till frankfurt to see, Cheers.
Although we have had some buying pressure I still think this might get down to the 169.30 Zone after touching the 171.00 zone or thereabout....on the 4hrly charts it does look like the bulls are about to take control. If this is to happen it might be next week rather than today. Short term bearish , midterm bullish and long term bullish... cheers

Rumors of gbp buy orders for the vodafone deal. Not sure if this will be done with the news coming out in an hr or so but closed the trade prematurely @ 170.68 for 18+ pips as the risk has been increased. PA is very unusual right now, not trying to give back some weekly gains.

Even with bad news this is rising...If I were a banker with huge buy orders what better time is there to buy if not when theres bad news and theres tons of sellers. I can just sit back and scoop all the sell orders till im satisfied. Doubt there will be waiting till next week as no one knows what may happen then.

What a beast this pair really is... LOL

Still holding on to my long entry from 169.90, SL at 170.45, TP 172.00 (first target).....

This is now the 2nd attempt (4hr chart) at 171.00, more news about to be released.... so far chart looks bullish we have had almost a week of ranging 169.00 - 171.00 break should be soon!
Cheers!!

Filled our socks again........Did you guys know they're giving away free pips at the London Open!!
I'll start posting these trades, 7 pm New York time and the Lovely London Open......I'm building a 50 x 100 foot barn...on that new 10 acres....it takes alot of time. But I'll start posting for the bunch.
Now the 7 pm trade only gets 11 pips in it's first layer.......and really waits till almost 8 pm....and then gets quite interesting. The London Open is real strait forward and confirms itself in 22 minutes....cool huh!!

Hello all,

New to this thread, but not new to GBPJPY. Traded for past few years, lost a lot for the first 4 years before making all of them back thereafter.

A friendly advice to trade this pair: Do not hold your pips when you are winning. Have a decent target strategy. 30-50 pips is good enough, considering the volatility of this pair.

Have been visiting this site recently, and noticed there are some novice and pro traders..a good mix.

Hope I can contribute my experience in trading this pair. So far haven't lost any trades yet in GBPJPY for the past 5years, why, because I target short pips, and don't trade everyday. Plus, I don't use stop losses, cuz based on personal experience, it was the SL which killed me in my early trading years.

Anyways, if there's a trade I made, I will post it here. Most recent trade was long GBPJPY from 170.65 to 171.15 this morning (Japan time).

For those who have lost their account, don't give up. I was there too a while ago. Lets hope we can contribute to learning.

Welcome, it's very nice to have you! This is a serious thread frequented by those who are bold enough to trade the best, some would say most dangerous pair there is, and those who take their trading seriously, unlike many of the other threads.

WELCOME, buddy....
Good info in your post.....we see 39 pips form a barrier all the time......and the stop loss, What if you can find a method that has a small stop.....like 8 pips. That's close....huh!

on daily time frame, its coming to resistance lvl and smells like final spike before next leg down starts which could extend to 160 but looking at bullishness in GBP and sideways to positive in JPY, sounds bit crazy as of now.
