But I strongly believe there's more of an upside to come. Tomorrow's FOMC news would trigger a breakout IMO. Till then would just carry out this trade for today. Target would be around 147.

happy trading

Add: For the Upside, see Vincy's EW chart on the EW forums. He has some interesting posts regarding EW. Would head up to 149ish or 150 before resuming down IMO before this week ends.
hye guys..

I was pretty aware that it would move to the upside. Currenly short too from 150.3. Wasn't watching the charts until now. SL at 151. What are your pivots for today?

GBPJPY EW COUNT

plenty of upside to come...

Dont step infront of a train!!

Better to go long on a pull back.

Looking to buy dips targetting > 153
Other than my previous EW chart, chart pattern suggests cup and handle, bull flag, and downtrend line going to be broken.

FOMC statement eliminating the statement "for an extended period of time" however may result in massive USD rally which may bring down GBP JPY.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is funny you say "can't tell" I tried a little while ago to start a thread asking a question about an EA developer who is only selling 500 copies of his EA. He says he want to limit distribution so brokers won't try and crush the EA's success. Is that why you don't share as well? Is it best to keep a good strategy quiet?

naah im not sharing bcoz i barely used it myself. these things are very risky. it might work for me but not others and finance loss can occur.

plus i hve no idea why do fools and idiots sell EAs. if these morons are really making money from their money just think why wud the need arise to sell it. heck i wud just keep and make money out of it.

i once saw an ad where the guy said "guaranteed money back" .price was $800. i thought if its such a good money making machine. why is this guy still a sales man? he cud just hve made tons of money by his EA. lol.
