RE: 130 Pip Move On Yesterday's Trade Call

Going into the NY session, the EURJPY did make a break below 127.00, as I suggested we watch for. CLICK HERE to read the trade setup. Price fell to the next support area of 126.50 and rode that out until Tokyo open, where the Yen picked up some momentum and drove the Yen pairs down. This move closed the price gap, formed over the weekend, down to 125.70.

For you newbies, this 130 pip move, equates to a potential +100% profit on the trade. As I've said in the past, "Success is not in the quantity of trades you make, but rather in the quality of trades."

I hope this helped some of you. A video review of the trade is posted below.

Chart Update Going Into Tokyo

EURJPY has made a break above the 133 after a squeeze down, against 132,85 (Daily Pivot), and has hit first resistance line at 133.26. EURUSD and the AUDUSD have also made similar moves.

GBPJPY is consolidating a bit. USDJPY has tightened up to a 30 pip range from a 60 range over the past 48 hours.

GBPJPY going into London

I'm seeing heavy support on the GBPJPY, just above the 153. I think if there is a break below 153, it will carry down to another heavy support level at 152.40. So there would be a possibility to take 50 pips. Next support levels below that are 152 and 1.5138. Cable has already made a move down. Need it to continue into London for move down on GBPJPY to happen. USDJPY will need to also break down.

If there is a move up, watch for a break above the top of the short term range at 153.75. Watch reactions to the orange support lines. Key will be a move above 154.40.

Update Going into Tokyo

Market is all over the place. Sloppy PA (Price Action) going into Tokyo session today. CHF is in a sloppy range, so is the Cable, but it is spread out over 100 pips. EURUSD is in a consolidation, but the PA on the EUR hasn't been decisive as I'd like it to be, so I will just sit back and watch for now.

Yesterday's GBPJPY move was quick and easy. After breaking the 155.40, it made a nice little run down to 154.70. For those of you who decided to gamble, it did carry down 154.30 before it would have taken out any stops set at B/E (Break Even). Funny how it came back and bounced off resistance at 155.40, then the next hour, it bounced off the 155.50 before it dove back down to 153.10. (See the Chart) Being that I live on the West Coast of the US, and I'm awake during London and NY open, I usually sleep through most of NY. I'm still researching the reason for the run down. DOW opened up and traded sideways most of the day, no major news on the USD, so the only thing I can see is oil closed up a bit, but I don't know what oil prices were doing that time of the day.

Check back later, going into London. I will make a post if I see anything developing. Remember, don't force yourself into trades. Don't trade, just to trade. That would be like feeding money into a slot machine, just because it's there. Forex trading isn't entertainment, unless you has so much money that you don't care. Forex is an investment of your hard earned money, and you need to protect it. The difference between the 5% of traders that make money, and the 95% who don't, is that profitable traders have the patience to wait for the high probability trades. It's all about the quality of the trades, not the quantity.

RE: GBPJPY

GBPJPY is holding below 155 for now. Being that this is a down time for all the major markets, it will probably range below 155, and move sideways until Wellington and Sydney markets start to trade.

That being said, there really isn't a clear target for this trade, so keep your stop at break even, if you have an appetite for risk. You could also take partial profits now, and move stops to preserve the balance of the trade, or just clear for profit now.

Price is at 155 right now.

RE: GBPJPY Sell

News out of NY is sounding a little negative on equities as we go into the open. If market opens down, risk aversion could kick in and we could go on a good run down. Watch the Cable and the USDJPY as an indicator. If they start going up in sync, then try and clear some profit if you want. In the least, it may be a good time to move stops to B/E.

Swiss Forex Broker Dukascopy Has Temorarily Lowered It's Minimum Deposit

Reknown Swiss Broker, Dukascopy, has lowered it's minimum Deposit requirement, temporarily, in conjunction with the release of a new EA. Dukascopy normally requires a minimum $50,000 opening deposit, but for a limited time, is allowing a minimum $10,000, opening deposit. Yes, U.S. citizens are allowed to open an account there. Dukascopy has institutional rates, so if you trade an account that is over $10,000, you might want to take advantage of this while you can. I think you must have a license number from purchasing the EA, in order to do so. If you are saving 1-4 pips a trade, on standard 100:1 lots, you can recover the cost of the EA rather quickly. The EA seems to have a good track record, with real money, not back testing.

Honestly, I already have an institutional account with ACM Geneva, so I'm fine where I'm at. Though the EA looks promising, I will remain on my own.
