Hi Izumi,

I read everything you post. I really appreciate your analysis... much better than my own, most of the time.

I think I've noticed the last few weeks a lot of yen buying on Fridays. Have you noticed anything similar?

Thanks,

jcole252

Thank you, but I'm not so good.

I didn't observe the yen buying on Friday as a rule. I will keep an eye on it from now on.

I remember that you were right about AUD/USD and AUD/JPY. AUD fell like a rock few days after you said it will. You should post more!

I've been in Japan so long that I've picked some Japanese traits. Some bad, but some good... like nodding my head, smiling, listening more, and letting people who like to talk, talk as much as they like. I was early on the AUD drop, and that's my main problem. Good analysis, but too eager.

By the way, what do you think of the down trend line on the attached chart? You could draw a similar line on AUD and probably NZD pairs also, Is the line stronger because it's more "mature"? Or is it outdated and irrelevant? I haven't been able to pin down any instructor on this question.

I thought you are Japanese. During the last years I've been in Japan only to visit my parents and sustain some exams.

I think that GBP/JPY will go down and might fall under 1.50 during the next period (days or weeks). I don't rule out 1.57 in the meantime, but I think that the trend is down, as you describe it.

For some reason I was disconnected from the FXCM Trading Server and I can't connect back, therefore I can't upload any chart right now.

Those were good short-term trades as you had a stop and a Limit. You got caught up in the indicator as opposed to keeping your eye on price. EUR/JPY did get down to the 133.12 area. Now the trade set ups that we look at in this forum are a little longer in scope. These are counter trend trades that are in the opposite direction of the trend. Usually, the moves in the direction of the trend yield more pips than the counter trend moves. Thanks for posting your profitable trades.
Okay Greg!!!

So gbp/jpy Just Pushing Back Down.. But I will Wait Some Correction Then I will Sell To Get Some Pips!! now in the Mean Time I will See what Is Happening In USD/JPY Pair. I have seen Some SITE NEWs About this Pair USD/JPY. I am talking about Elliot wave And I Think when It Touch About his (2) Rarely Then That Pair will Short Down and Talking With Gbp/jpy Eur/jpy With It...

have a look the Chart I think It Will Go Below 90 Level..

I could finally connect back to my Trading Station and I can post a GBP/JPY chart now.

Somebody asked me on Sunday about a possible GBP/JPY trade and I recommended a sell position above 156 with a stoploss at 157.5. My recommendation was against the uptrend that we saw during the last days, because I believe that GBP/JPY is pointing south on the bigger picture. The resistance line, that you are showing on your chart, intersects the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (of the 162.583-146.741 interval) a little above 157, therefore I'm expecting this area to act as a strong resistance.

I have a waiting short on AUD/USD at 0.8240 that I will keep on long term, because I'm expecting a drop till at least 0.75. Gregory convinced me that 0.81 is too soon to short the pair and Mostly Harmless gave me a good tip about a possible entry point.

I don't know what to say about NZD. I'm not familiar with that currency.

One solution for this is to wait for a retest of the break out area after you can see a full-bodied candle break out. It takes a little patience to watch it runaway from you and eventually come back with a better entry. Remember, there is always a risk that it can run completely away and not retest the breakout zone. At the point, we would pass and look for a pair that was better behaved.

Cool CHF/JPY

Whats that, the grave yard shift? or the THRILLER shift? Enjoy it. CHF/JPY bit me again only to show so much gain after. Within the past two weeks again I have lost more than I have gained. I have some money management question for you but I know this forum is not the place for it. I am convinced money management, is key. I see too many big numbers before reaching midway only to retrace and stop out.

Hi Izumi,

Looks like your chart played out exactly re GBP/JPN - I have some shorts in play now between 155 and 156, and just wondered what your thoughts are regarding any limits I should put on them? - Where do you see this bottoming out please?..

Many thanks..

Hi Xiao,

This is a much bigger picture that you are referring to. Yes, you are right! I'm prepared to buy if GBP falls somewhere under 145. I can't say now exactly when I will buy, but it must go down a lot before I buy it. In the meantime, shorting from above 156 is profitable, as you see. You could have kept your position longer.

Next month will be my last month of trading, therefore I'm interested in price action based on a 6 weeks timeframe.

I think that it almost bottomed, for today. If you want to keep your position longer, then you can try 150, depending on your risk/award settings . On my chart you can see the dotted line of the limit I placed (under 145.86). If you plan a much longer trade, you can try it too. Anything can happen till 145.86, even a pullback to 157. Friday will be an interesting day for GBP!!

Please don't take any risks based on what I'm saying, because my field is Business/Economics, not trading. Take the final decision by yourself.
