Gammahunter - Nice job - nothing like ANY profit trading any market. It may just be noise and minutia, but I'm focused on the 55 and 100MA in the 4-hour chart. Glad it closed the week above the 55MA, but resistance at the 100MA is not far away, so we'll see about breaking through that. All eyes on the Fed next week. I'm not worried about getting closed out because these days I'm using plenty of margin and get my emotions out of it; also using wide stops.
Haven't traded USD/JPY in the past month or so. But you can be sure it will jump higher if the FOMC is even slightly hawkish - then again, if stocks tumble, JPY may strengthen, but probably the least against the USD.
Good trading and good weekend!

hello rob I open 5 lots @ .9274 when this pair was falling and have closed 3 lots @ .9288 for nice scalp profit. I keep 2 lots and will wait for next swing to .935 and higher. I agree with u that .926-.927 is good cluster of suppt.
But be careful bcuz many stop hunting algorhythm will try and push weak longs from mkt only to turn mkt higher.

btw u trade usdjpy? I want entry in that pair too

Gammahunter - I'm more frustrated than happy with this pair. I've had it for at least 2 weeks. I still see the 4-hour chart being the most telling. If it can close above the 100MA (4hr.), then I think it's set to go up further. 92.70-80 definitely looking as strong support, but if that breaks, it's probably right back down to low 92.00's. There is some flight to safety, but there's also a bit a dollar weakness affecting this as well. Hopefully USDX will continue up and bring this pair with it.

Yes, I do like that USD/CHF Ashraf - ha - you remember... It moves slowly, much better pace for me these days...
I like the 4hour chart the best, recent close above 55ma, not for about a month - and being in it for about 2 weeks, I feel 92.00 was tried and is over (should've, could've, would've doubled down). It should at least push to 94 based on the daily chart - a break above the 55DMA should provide much better momentum upwards.
I'd did quite well a few weeks ago Ashraf, when you brought up AUD/USD, I'll look to it again. Thanks!
