A quick update on the USDJPY position posted last week.
I opened a short position link to post from the daily doji candle. My thinking at the time was that we could be seeing a secondary top forming . The trade had an easy risk reward using the top of the Daily candle as the stop loss.
Anyone familiar with the way I like to trade ( Ryan K-man included ) will be aware that defining our risk is one of the most important aspects of any open position. I make mistakes, we cant ever hope to be correct with every press of a button.– If our risks are defined we can keep the losses small and manageable .
We’ve broken the trendlines on the D1 chart and price must be viewed as bearish although far too early to be calling a major reversal .

USDJPY – Daily
Here’s a current rather psychedelic chart of the Hourly. I dont use this type of chart to trade from . I like it very much to show me the shorter term directional bias in a visible easy to read ‘ one glance ‘ format .

Ryan was onto it earlier. It should be fixed by now. You may need to refresh. That’s hat I did and the message went away
Hi Dubsy, yep a good view for life as well 🙂 ” If our risks are defined we can keep the losses small and manageable “. This is the line that should be put on all accounts like they put the warning on health on cigarette packets if they really want to help people from losing too much money ,more help than the new EU rules.
I don’t follow USD/JPY as its moves don’t suit me also its said your up against the best traders in the world plus I’m a big chicken really 🙂 , atvb Chris
Afternoon Chris.
Indeed, U’J can be very frustrating.
As long as state ‘nanny’ doesn’t place warnings on bottles of vino I should be OK.. There is a very high probability I would ignore them anyway 🙂
I don’t know what frustration is being a West Ham supporter Dubsy 🙂 , As a rule I ignore pretty
much everything I can for as long as I can. Sometimes in this game I have the feeling c/b and gov have the same philosophy, of cause that couldn’t possible be true 😉 ,atvb Chris
