Hello fellow traders,

I am being told the downside to the GBPJPY is soon to be in great favor. Does anyone else agree with this? It comes from a reliable trading group. But I would love to hear if anyone else is considering this too.

Hi Jimm, Welcome to Traderslaboratory.

 

I don't listen to what other people say, However, If were looking to short GBP/JPY I would watch my charts. This is what I see now for a possible short.

 

On the chart I have 2 TLs, The upper one is from the 1 hour TF, the lower one is from the 4 hour. On a candle close below the TL on the 1 hour chart, I would look for a test of the TL on the 4 hour chart. This set up is called a "Two Trendy". What makes it more interesting is tha the 1 hour TL is right around Mons S3 and the 4 hour TL is a bit above the Weekly Pivot.

On a candle close below the Weekly pivot, on the 4 hour chart, 12829 would not surprise me. It's a little too early to commit to that, but I would take the TL to TL short if I was awake/around to see it.

I should have added that if price comes down to the TL on the 4 hour TL, a bounce should not be totally unexpected. I that scenario unfolds, drop to a lower TF to determine direction.

As an example, I caught a nice bounce off that TL last Tues, 2/08.

I didn't short at the first close below the TL because the candles were kind of "Doji" looking.

Did finally short at the Daily Pivot on a normal looking candle. Stop is above the most recent high@ 13440. I have a "Price Alert" set for if/when it reaches the TL on the 4 hour.

If it looks like it's going to bounce I'll get out. If it looks like it will continue south, the next key area will be around 13210.

BTW I have a reliable "FREE" price alert site that will send you an sms awhen price hits whatever level you select. If anyone is interested, leave me a message here on the thread.

Hi Jim, I don't know what the GBPJPY prediction is based on, but there are some smart people out there and it could well be correct. I looked at the weekly chart for the pair and on that chart you can see that it's been moving sideways for about two years now, after a big drop in 2008. Matter of fact since September '09 and now it's been stuck between 125 and 150. Eventually price will break out of this range, but I wouldn't predict in which direction. I'd wait for the break to happen and then look for an opportunity to get on board the new trend.

 

Good luck.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.
