Note to all:

I noticed some have been posting quite a bit, but never posting any trades. Please be aware that this will result in blocking.

I also suggest uploading a TE if anyone wants to share their success. Otherwise it doesn't really mean anything, since anyone can say, "Hey I made 500 pips this week", but it's not verified, and if no trades were shared here, then what's the point?

Hey guys!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I am still long from 120.39 last week. Added some more small positions on the move up this morning. I will most likely hold these longs till next Friday which is when the NFP data is released.

Sounds about right to me.

Ha ha. It would be nice if I had that much. I'd just place 1 or 2 trades a year, or not even trade at all

Hopefully we all come out on top with our current trades. For me, trying something a little different than what I'm used to, as I'm usually more intra-day. Trying to be more of swing trader now, as I don't like being glued to my screen all the time. Nice to place trades, then go do whatever I need to do, without watching every candle close...

However, I still like the intra-day size SL. But still tweaking my entry points. Brand new trading plan. New broker/account. And uploaded a TE to track my progress and keep a journal. We'll see how it goes...

reloaded fresh long at 120.20 .. back to work
Thanks for posting this. I was hesitant to trade UJ after watching it past several trading days. When I saw your post I looked again, and the daily chart showed price near the bottom of range of inside bar formation. So I entered long, and up almost 1:3 R:R so far. I probably would have missed this, had you not posted, as I was looking at other trades/pairs.

I've added a poll for the thread to see what regular posters would prefer. There is no right or wrong answers. I've made it public vote, only so that I'll know if it is regular posters who are voting, as whatever changes I make will be to try and satisfy the preferences of those who post regularly on this thread...

Edit:If you are not a regular poster, still feel free to take the poll. If we are split on opinions, we may need more votes to break the tie

Poll

Edit: changed the poll, as I figured we should stick to buying in this thread, and whatever changes we make in regards to pairs, we can change the bear thread to match...

I used to do swing trading on daily.

Like more of a set and forget kinda trading. It is good if you cannot manage to be at the screens all the time.

I usually combine a bit of both now and use a smaller position to get in at the best price and then normally let it run a bit and take any hits on retracements. Usually placing stops below previous swing lows and just then just trailing it 5 pips below the 20ema If I am long or vice versa.

If I am watching I will usually bulk up my position but won't leave it until it is well in the green.

I am the same though - this year's trading is going to be different. I am looking forward to it. Might set myself up on FXBook like Riz as well. I am modifying (or have been attempting to modify) my journal on excel. Find it hard to keep intraday trades as there can be a fair few. Bit lazy really.

What broker are you using?

Also about your poll, I voted but I don't mind saying here that we should talk about other pairs as well. Keep UJ as main but of course using other charts and other things do help. I think it can be good for traders to spot any new opportunities as well as see how correlations work with pairs.

My 2 cents.

Yes, I agree other pairs. I used to trade only one pair. But now that I'm holding positions longer, and not watch screen all day, I trade 4 pairs. In fact, not sure if you saw my post today, but I did open it up to any currency pair. Still only about buying though. Reason for the poll, is to see if most agree with this change, or liked it the way it was...

Broker I'm using with my new account is TradersWay.

I think what you don't want is a bunch of people all talking about numerous currency pairs all at once to confuse us all, so means more management from you on that. Guess though there are only a certain number of decent up-trending pairs.

But overall am happy with it. A few people already touched on other pairs, maybe this might open up some good opportunities or some valid reasons why pairs are moving like they are.

I for one am keeping an eye on Oil (even though its short) and seeing what happens with that. As big sell off could mean problem for UJ with the yen being a safe haven.

Yes, I think we're so used to commenting about UJ and not distinguishing what pair we are talking about. I guess, I'll just see how it goes. If we end up with a confusing mess, I'll see what changes are needed...

To all:

Another note about posting. I hate to block members who had become regular posters on this thread. But if I go back in history, and don't see a single trade posted, i.e. nothing in real time, and no SL or entry point, and mainly see posts about how good of a trader you are, and how you make all kinds of pips, then it makes me question why you have not posted any of those successful trades here in real time. Are you just here to brag about your professed accomplishments? Why not post any trades? Or upload a TE to share your trades in real time. It is my opinion, that if someone has not upload a TE, and has not posted any trades, anything they say about their trading is unbelievable, or at least untrustworthy.

Maybe some have a different idea of what "interactive trading" should be about. Interactive means having an affect on each other. If you don't post any trades, how much affect are you really having? Not much. But if several enter the market with their trades (like today for example, several of us entered around the same time), posting SL, entry point (or have it on an uploaded TE), then it is truly interactive trading.

The more someone talks about how good they are, without a TE or posting live trades, the more unbelievable anything they post is, in terms of success, views, objectives. It really generates a lack of trust. Anyway, none of us really know each other, but I'd like this to be transparent when it comes to trading. Sorry if anyone doesn't agree with this. And as always, if anyone who is blocked would like to post here again, and actually try to contribute something in terms of "interactive trading", just have someone communicate this to me. If you don't care, then no harm done. Happy trading!

It is in my experience that when one yen pair moves, they all move...and generally in the same direction. I would be okay with multiple pairs posted here, but I would be afraid that it might become too confusing. Thoughts?
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!
