It's been dead in here for a while. Commentary to the difficulty of this pair lately, I suppose.

I was short, too, today but after riding out drawdowns on ramp after ramp from globally bad data, I ended the day with fourteen bucks in my pocket.

So, I'm thinking instead of playing off that obvious mesa formation (most people call it an H & S...), the trade from here is going to be long. Scalping and swinging the M5- with an upside bias- until this thing makes up its mind on what it's going to do.

many happy pips!

I agree this pair has been crap lately.

The 4 hour seems to support your post but The daily and hourly look a tad bearish to me. It seems this is an area a lot of people are looking to get long and I can see why. For that very reason I think it will drop to burn the early bird longs and then move up.

Short from 104.30. Big divergence on weekly graph. SL 104.90

{quote} Will wait with these shorts a few months if I don't get stopped. Target TP is around 400-500 pips till end of March.

Closed half of my 104.30 shorts from 101.30. SL for the other half is 103.40. I plan to add again shorts from 103 level if it goes.

{quote} Added back the half shorts from 102.40.
Waiting for 2 months now. Longest ever trade with such low volatility.

Average of initial trade is now 104.85. Still holding my shorts. Target TP was 400-500 pips till end of March. So this means last 4 days to close the position.
So far 250 pips only. Far from target. Disappointing and boring days! Volatility is gone forever!

This has gotto be the most boring quarter in quite a while. I guess we cant have huge range months all the time.........ever since they started "cracking down" on manipulation in the FX field it has gotten worse. Who woulda thought a little forced honesty would make the markets so boring? If thats the case bring back the crooked days of huge spikes and volitility

Very promising today.

I just went long @ 102.32 | TP: 103.32 | SL: 101.80 - R/R: 2/1 - Maxloss: 0.3%

Strategy behind.
Short term (scalpers), the usdjpy looks like it is gaining bullish momentum. + We just had a small SMA crossover at the M15 to confirm the movement in the short term
Medium term (1-5 days), the trend remains intact and is bullish.
Important resistances: 102.39 102.69 102.86 103.43

Im leaving this alone til some sort of move is made. Too much chop, not worth the risk unless you are a scalper.
