Well if you're doing 1 min JPYs w/out inds then take 5/ leave 5 would be OK

if you have a high hit rate sure, but why not try for more, can you find a way to to that? I mean, say if you take 10 trades, are they all the same? or are some in better spots than others?

Good luck with that. Good luck with that. I only try and get 5 at most on the counter-trend. Now with the trend, well.....

Be careful - the USD/JPY is in a flux (ie could go up or down from here - probably go nowhere as no reason to shoot off in any direction now).

I'm out for now, un less something changes.

USDJPY is firmly in sell rallies mode IMO.
Any rally should be sold; the picture seems reasonably unambiguous: lower prices are ahead in the days to come.
I have no clue what I'm talking about.

PTL,

You could have won and I could have lost (easily!). That's not the point.

The point is to take the bitter pill of loss every single time.

And you know with USD/JPY 1 minute (clean, no indicators) you have to take your losses because:

1. Trends and minitrends seem to just keep going; and

2. Wins outnumber losses.

perhaps, but that is just one way to skin a cat I suspect...first, the one min makes my head hurt, second, I prefer to take much fewer trades as of late, so I pick a few spots a week, and hammer them there, end of story, dont need to catch all the moves..
