Pick of the Day: EUR/JPY

Today’s pick will be on the EURJPY again, but this time a little trickier. I drew a fib line on the 4hr chart and as you can see we have a couple of resistance points lining up; most notably the 61.8% fib and the S1 line. In the morning we have the E-12 PPI and …

Pick of the Day: EUR/JPY

Today’s pick on the EURJPY. We have several economic reports coming out of the E-12 region and today’s entries should take advantage of any breakouts from any surprise news reports. I will go long with a break and candle close above the R2 line and 100 SMA. Going for 10 pips as usual and my …

Trade Review: EUR/JPY

Well, it looks like the pair made a strong move to the downside, but my stop recommendation was a little too close for the volatility after the E-12 Current account news release. If you had a wider stop loss set than I did, then I hope you made a lot of pips on this one.
