Knox, I am seeing the same thing you mentioned, earlier. 

I am just waiting on this 100EMA to break. 

It is hard to get out of this position with all that space down below. 

These past 4 hours have been maddening. 

I am up close to 30 now. I hate to let it ride all night.
MIght be taking profit soon.

I cant get out either.. i am @ even right now .. i thought this would drop off , but there is so much in the way .. But the 15 min is the only one that has a huge space for it to drop.. thats the only thing that worries me.

Well,  I Can't figure it, the only thing I can think is that it is manipulation in that the BOJ is not going to let it tank the day after their governor comes out and says that they are doubling down on the 2% price target.

 I hate to have the tinfoil hat, but nothing else makes much sense.

I am out with 21.88 Pips. 

Not bad, but I spent ALLLLLL day sweating this trade, great set up, and no payoff.

Oh well,  Just going to scan charts tomorrow. 

USD/JPY will have probably hit that 101.90 region and I will kick myself. 

Happy hunting, I will check in in the morning.

I mean not everything is maipulation, it could just be a case of investors hearing the news yesterday, and not wanting to sell in the face of strong talk from the BOJ,  completely understandable. 

It would also explain the lack of volume, and the fact that it is literally sitting on the 100 EMA (1hr chart). 

All in all,  Idon't know, I can't put my finger on it, and I am not going to gamble on it.

Well, I missed it.
Not shocking, but kind of disapointing.

I am liking this cross at the 102 mark, and think it could be good for 15-20 pips. 

Bought USD/JPY @102.023

Nice trade rick...

It must be a POMO day, the SPX reverses 10 plus points in less than two hours..

Well I was watching EU/JPY around 430 this morning..I thought for sure we would see 139.80s so I set a limit for 80 pips..missed by 4??!! Lol
I still like this setup will hold this puppy a bit longer but I should have taken 60 when it was there...

long day and just sat down .. to recap that slow bleed last night on USD/JPY that was a pattern I very rarely see. Just a slow bleed down.. It was awful ,hit my limit @ 20 @ 6:30 am.... missed all the moves already tonight nothing will bounce around for awile.. 

Hey Wall USD/JPY will go all the way down to 101.734  I just have to find a good place to enter.. but that is what I am looking for now ..

I pulled my stop thinking 100 would be possible  as I thought a cross lower was coming on the 4hr..news helped though and then the  bottom fell out..,i missed the low while driving home but was still able to get 143 pips outta it[EU/JPY]!!

I have to get a different hotspot device or something..i have an AT&T aircard[not sure what its called just a usb device] I got from my wifes father a few yrs ago and it has worked flawlessly up until last few days.I can get it going but will freeze and laptop shows no sinal every few mins..what would you guys buy?I have to get something,working third shift sucks but I love being awake for the 3-6 am trading and leaving the laptop at home isn't an option as I still don't like making a trade from my phone if I don't have to...feels good to finally put some pips on the thread,now if we could close this other trade and go into the weekend FLAT[wink wink]still cant add any smileys or PM and I sent support an email days ago..
