... won't be my first or last mistake

USD/JPY Discussion

have become more risk averse because I have big gains to protect, and scalping has worked here. I will decide in 15-30 minutes (maybe). Probably will enter 100% (which is exactly where I exited), but have a much tighter stop loss than usual. thanks!

USD/JPY Discussion

geeeeez, it just looks so "toppy" right now (talking about this most recent spike only). But I see your point too. I certainly would not short this. Maybe initiate half a position(?) ... I dunno, I'm gonna wait a few more minutes. Maybe it's waiting ...

i am ready to jump in any moment of course. Why do you think today is the day? Just a feeling or some additional points?

USD/JPY Discussion

I don't know. I've hopped out hoping for a small pullback. I hate this part, because I believe it will go up (which means it will go down - at least in the next hour). it's twisted, difficult, and dangerous :-) also, the more times it pokes it's ...

USD/JPY Discussion

you're right it is gaining. although isn't london open already since 1 hour ago?

USD/JPY Discussion

thanks ... good answer. yeah, the one thing i don't like about try/jpy is the spread. so when i want to hop in and out that always factors in more than it should. Anyway, with USD/JPY there's a good thread with good posts and youtube videos, which ...

what do you think of TRY/JPY? Turkey's economy is doing well, and their currency has depreciated the most (and they want to strengthen) versus Yen (economy is hurting and they want to depreciate yen). Also, TRY/JPY pays big interest while you sit ...

HEY, I am suspicious and generally terrified. NEVER say "easy long." Please. It means the robots will stop me out!

i deleted the rebelling comment because now i am in the money again. Ok, will ride up to 77.30. not selling anymore (but it was nice to squeeze out some cash a second time again). we all climb the Great Wall of Worry together!!

USD/JPY Discussion

Ok, all in again!! SL in place off course. GOOD LUCK TO ALL USD/JPY LONGS!!!!

USD/JPY Discussion

if it drops a little bit more I'll start to scale back in.

USD/JPY Discussion

I don't know what level....I had so many gains that I just wanted to lock them in. This is the dilemma! If you are true, then the big money is still to be made. My theory is that USD/JPY is in no hurry to get back up. So I thought about sleeping on ...

USD/JPY Discussion

I've taken my profit, and will wait for a pullback now. Hope the train does not leave the station (yet). I hate this part ... extremely stressful for me :-)))

USD/JPY Discussion

I learned my lesson in a BIG way, and from then on, I always use stop loss. ALWAYS. Religion.

USD/JPY Discussion

sounds horrible and evil. it would wipe out all my gains in a flash. i don't think there is any way to prepare for it except some kind of stop on existing position and a buy order "down there." I think you are describing the fear that is going to ...
