Made a fake break on the 60 min chart, within 10 pips where the harmonic setup predicted it would make a reversal. Lets see if the bears can maintain control!

{quote} Sorry, I just find this confusing. Doing this doesn't seem to make sense, but just seems at odds with the current price activity. You say "selling 11x to get to 10x" and you want to suggest you aren't inferring that you've just tried to sell at a top? If not really the top and you think it could go up again, then I have to ask...why sell now? If you think it will go down a bit later, why not wait till it gets a bit higher and sell then...or wait when it DOES start to move down and sell then? What's the thought process/theory behind this?...
It's actually "current price activity" that's got me short.Even more so now seeing the price action created overnight
Where price is now, it has been before, and will be again.

You have sold way to early. There is a potential 560 pips of profit in this move to the downside.

Nothing wrong with scalping out these trades...Plenty of times I've held for a swing and wish I'd taken a scalp when it reverses on me.

So long as the '% return' is positive at month end / quarter end / year end (choose your timeline) - the end justifies the means

Yes, you are right.

Different style different risk and rewards ...whatever is each has its own challenges.

Not an easy toy to play .

You can do both if you choose - its merely a case of getting position sizing in check (easier said than done).

I've scalped out 146 pips on UJ and EU mainly trading into a UJ swing short - and all UJ has done, is continue up - quite frankly I'm glad I took these 'crappy scalps' - they all add up.

Scalping out secures some profits if the swing trade goes against you and you can still hold entries at suitable levels for a swing trade should it oblige.

#USDJPY - Daily chart descending broadening wedge formation - bearish divergence - OverBought. All lead us to one direction, further downside is expected to come up. We favour sell on rallies.

Finished right on support trendline. There's nothing on the 4h which screams sell, so I'm a bit iffy on this, will need to see what happens on Monday.

In the last week I've only trades very short time frames (few hours) on this pair, haven't really had the guts to commit to any shorts, they always get stopped out (like that false break 2 days ago).

Expecting correction 4 terminates near 115.00s, before resuming downtrend towards new low.

... until after Trump steps in which is January but even when he does step in Yellen will still be in office and he does not have the power to get rid of Yellen which will apparently be in office until 2018...
Actually he does. Pressure. Works every time.

And Trumpie the Apprentice is good at pressure. And business failures. But don't tell that to his supporters the Trumpkins. Ohhh boy do they get mad.

As for dollar/yen I very rarely look beyond the immediate horizon so who knows.
